Forums - Nintendo Discussion - IGN Review of The Conduit up-------8.6 overall

So the conclusion is "Good, for a Wii-shooter?"

It's a review with a higher recommendation of the game than I expect to see on other sites. Unfortunately Matt and IGN have hyped this game so much that they would look ridiculous if they rated it lower than 8.5, and so I am feeling some bias.

If they hadn't hyped it so much beforehand I think the review would have been more in the 7-7.5 range. But we will see...



great news

I was telling someone about the score just now.
He said "I knew it was going to suck"
I said "A 8.6 is a very good score"
He said "Its a horrible score, below 9 sucks"
I said "Oh, alright, Prototype must really suck then"
He said "No, thats different, a 10/10 wii game is the same as a 6/10 360 game"

Heh.
I predicted 8.5, I was close.
Remember to pick it up tomorrow, or else.
Yes, that is a threat. :P

So that mean a 14/10 wii game is 10/10 360 game, that's being hypocrite in my opinion, and with the wii motion controls being perfect it cannot be conquered byt 360's thumb pressing device.

Assuming IGN's review is going to be the norm, High VOoltage just made a massive quality leap.
Will get now!!


You mean quantum leap!

Anyway, yeah, I also was suprise to see it got higher score than I expected. But this is IGN we're talking about...

When I we see X-play review this game, I'd say 3 out of 5 at best.

I'm still not convinced about this, despite it being a very good review.

If it's cheaper some time I may get it. I have more than enough to play for now and no where near enough money

I don't think it's fair to look at it that way... it's because of the Wii's controls that makes it great.

it's the same for most wii games



I so want this game, but I have to send my Wii in for repair, must wait a bit longer.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

It seems that IGN was looking to bring the overall score down. I'm thinking it should have scored closer to a 9.

You have the game to make that judgment?
