  1. The Conduit Review

    The Conduit is a game I can't recommend enough for FPS enthusiasts and Wii owners alike.  The controls lend to its approachability, creating a gaming experience that is truly open to any gamer, casual or hardcore. I have to tip my hat to Sega for filling a long-noticeable void in the Wii's library. With its intense single-player campaign and robust multiplayer modes, The Conduit has definitely been worth the wait. Read more

    All in all, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by The Conduit and most of what it has to offer, save for a few rough edges and banalities that could have been easily avoided. If you're looking for some great (albeit generic) FPS action on a Nintendo console, The Conduit is a great choice. We can only hope that future FPS titles for the system adopt the superb controls and tightness that are lacking in most of the other games in the Wii's library. Read more

    When the average gamer thinks of the Nintendo Wii, all they see is a little kid’s gaming console, filled with shovelware like Carnival Games and Petz. The Wii has been given a reputation as an inferior gaming console, and one with nothing to offer a more matured crowd- and in this case, they couldn’t be more wrong. The Conduit is here to introduce some fast, fun, frenzied gameplay and prove that the Wii has what it takes to make it as a real hardcore gaming platform. Read more

    High Voltage spent a lot of time and energy in developing The Conduit and the end products shows it. The Quantum3 engine delivers nice graphics compared to other Wii games and the controls can be called near-perfect. Unfortunately the singleplayer mode lacks inspiration and is incredibly short. The developer promised a superior FPS-experience that would be a benchmark for the Wii in graphics and controls but although everything is ok, it's nothing special. Luckily this... Read more

    "The Conduit" is a very polished experience for the Wii, and while the single player is a little too short and you're done exactly when at its best, the multiplayer can keep this game going for the next few months without any trouble. Read more

  1. "Best Shooting Game For The Wii"

    Defently think this is one of the best games for the Wii. And defently the best shooting game for it. Has a great storyline and single player mode. The online multiplayer is great and you can play with just your friends if you want. The controls are great, point with the Wiimote, B to shoot, the numchuck Z to lock on to a foe, the stick to move around. Must have for anyone who owns a Wii. Read more

    decent game, very true to what they say about it- levels are hard but doable, also first person shooter aspect is excellent with good graphics. The only bad part is even if you beat the game, and want to play a certain level, you have to wait for the movie narrative of that level to finish instead of just being able to play it... besides that, good game overall.

    Great game that was on sale, decided to pick it up. Was going to pick it up eventually and then a deal popped up and I could not resist. Decent Single Player and fun. I haven't played against other people online yet and the game seems short. Read more

    I really, really wanted to like Conduit. The aiming is handled very well and is very precise, and some moments are flat out cool, but the game had to many flaws for me to really like it. Let's get this out of the way right now: the story is awful. It revolves around some alien organization trying to take over the world and some spec ops soldier guy trying to save Earth. There is no sense of build up to some spectacular ending, and when you reach said ending, you kill... Read more
