I enjoyed Conduit - but largely because it reminded me of the FPS I grew up with, Wolfenstein, Doom and Unreal (gameplay wise). 

The single player mode wasn't worth replaying, but the online was a lot of fun - when it worked.   Slooow to get on and then to have it crash and you need to turn your Wii off and start over...  no.

If they fixed the online issues, I'll get it alone for that.  Story mode looks far improved though as well.  Look forward to reading the reviews. 

Frankly while 7.5 is a disappointing score, it's not surprising.  This is HVS, not Valve, Epic or Infinity Ward.

And correct me if I'm wrong but is this not the only FPS on Wii with split-screen online?


Heck, split screen online isn't that common on HF FPS.


There you go.  Another good reason to own it, despite the 7.5.

@uno  fair enough, Conduit 1 just lacked polish IMO. at the very least part 2 cant be worse



FYI i liked other M, but that might have to do with me not being a fan of the series



Wow, it looks like it's not even worth me writing a "Why the Conduit 2 bombed" thread.

Maybe snesboy will write a "Why the Conduit 2 sucks" thread though.

I'll just wait to see how it plays overall. If the level design is good, that will matter even more than the features.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

the conduit wasn't a bad game, it was fun but had some problems. unfortunately it was overhyped by the press and some ninty fanboys so when it came out some rated it too high basing on hype alone (see ONM) while others too low due to disappointment. i personally think it was a 7.5 game.

the truth is that when the conduit got released there weren't many good FPS on Wii... there were only CoD:WaW, and Metroid Prime 3 (which isn't a pure shooter anyways), now even if HVS corrected some of the issues of first game the bar has been raised by CoD:MWR, CoD:BO and Goldeneye. So even if Conduit 2 is better than its predecessor i don't think it will get better scores... i believe it will remain in the 7 - 7.5 range.

seriously, have you seen some gameplay videos? both from a graphics standpoint anf from a gameplay standpoit it seems miles behind goldeneye and cod...

I agree with you

I want THE GRINDER! >.<


yes and dont forget Sega almost screwed this game up too.

 

Anyways to get back on topic, I really don't trust reviews in general only certain ones. And especially not Nintendo Power. G.O.- Forbid. The score really doesn't mean anything. If you have an interest in something, play it for yourself then judge it.
