well it had good controls, and thats been a problem for wii games.

gamespot are just a bunch of nutters!
who cares what they think

How does a game like this get a 6.5 and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen get a 7.5?

Nice job Gamespot.

Now there's a good, professional review. I may not agree with all of what he said, or the final score, but you can't fault him on the fundamentals, unlike that GamePro tragedy

Maybe...just maybe, they think it's a better game? Remember, reviews = opinion

Not comparing the two games but the original Killzone ranks low on many reviews yet it has turned out into a successful FPS series. Even the PSP game has many low scores but many still enjoy it.

Suda 51 games often get low scores. It's just a number,the read review is what should be paid attention to most.

Now may have been Video form but I felt both Gametrailers and IGN gave a more honest review. Gametrailers the most non biased as they always do even if I may not agree with the number score.

Most these reviews people skip to the number then bash the game or review or praise the game because of a higher review.

Read them first but of course the best reviewer of anyone is you the player. If you enjoy it then that all that matters. We don't need topics like this to carry out pointless arguments 15+ pages long.

Yeah, I watched the video review and he justifies himself pretty well. After watching it, and listening to his points, the score still seems a bit low, but the important part of a review isn't the score, it's what the reviewer says about the gameplay experience. Even though his score is lower, his review actually comes across as an intelligent piece, unlike the GamePro one.

While my copy of the game hasn't arrived yet, I don't think hiding in a corner and thinking the world is biased against you is ever really a good solution. I think it's entierly reasonable that the Conduit is, overall, an average game. It still sounds like there is a lot to like in it, it just isn't the end-all-be-all that many people had hoped for.

The important thing is (again, from reading reviews, my copy is in the mail), it's still fundamentally a solid game, if rough around the edges. The main complaints are on the story, art direction and genericity. For a small company like HVS, this still appears to be a very good game, and hopefully a precursor for things to come.

i cannot fucking believe they gave conduit a 6.5, and i'm not talking out of my _ _ _ , i've actually played the conduit and it's super!

transformers got 7.5, god's sake, it seems plain awful from the videos...

IGN gave Transformers a 4.2........see if you feel the same way about The Conduit as IGN did Transformers:

Closing Comments
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has close to zero redeeming qualities. I only say "close to" in case I actually forgot something, though at the moment, I can't think of any. Well, I guess the almost complete lack of Shia Labeouf is one thing.

Rating	Description
out of 10	click here for ratings guide
4.0	Presentation The story doesn't really follow the movie (for better or worse), the dialog is bad and the video screen doesn't give you any clue as to what you're about to watch.
5.0	Graphics While it doesn't look terrible, per se, it's not impressive in any fashion whatsoever. There's not one thing that you would say looks good.
5.5	Sound What little music there is isn't bad, but the dialog is pretty poor and the sound effects are very bland.
4.0	Gameplay The controls are wonky, the action is repetitive and it's just very boring.
3.0	Lasting Appeal The game is over in about 4 hours, maybe less, and there's not really much to come back for.
4.2 Poor	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
