"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 Read more
- Great multiplayer experience, Action packed single player, Decent graphics, Good voice work
- A little short, Incomplete story

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. Read more
- Enjoyable storyline., Incredible gameplay., Great presentation., Fun online components., Fully customizable controls.
- Lacking style., Campaign is a little short.

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. Read more
- Perfect Wii controls, Audiovisually top on Wii, Multiplayer
- Lacks inspiration, 4 hour singleplayer, Too easy

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. Read more
- Fantastic controls., An interesting and engaging story if you can keep up with its popcorn-like telling., High production values., Succeeds in being a great FPS.
- Story is hard to follow in the manner it's told., The enemies will get very boring., It's not a very hard game.

The Conduit is nothing more than an occasionally attractive run of the mill FPS, backed up by a decent multiplayer mode that stands out due to the relative weakness the Wii has in this area. Read more
- Controls are solid, Multiplayer is good
- Story is weak, Bland campaign

The makers of The Conduit rightly felt that PS3/Xbox 360 owners were getting a better deal than Wii owners when it came to first-person shooters. Their solution? A first-person shooter designed just for the Wii. Read more
- Responsive controls, Nunchuk-thrown grenades actually hit their target, Cool 'melting' weapons, ASE is a pretty cool piece of equipment, Terrific online multiplayer modes, Data discs unlock skins, concept art and cheat codes
- A.I isn't particularly challenging (on medium), Cut scenes are quite basic & expositional, Only 9 chapters in Campaign mode, Hard to quit while in an online match, Still looks pretty basic compared to a 360/PS3 FPS

The Wii's most-anticipated first-person shooter ever is here - but does it deliver? The video gaming world is a fickle one. Its enthusiasts are keen to take every new development and watch it from every angle, dissecting all... Read more

I really love the Wii. After a couple slow periods and increasingly angry gamers grumbling over high system sales and a major lack of quality releases, Nintendo has stepped it up in 2009. Read more
