Doesn't matter what the Metacritic is. People still bought it.

You're very unenthusiasticaly choosing to go slightly neutral

it's a great game. They're too damn harsh on it. Critics act like a Halo competitor can come up out of the clear blue on a system that has hardly any first person shooters. Conduit is a good game and if you have a Wii you should buy it. The critics are always dumb asses. All the best movies get rated bad by the critics, but that's not always the case for video games, but it is for Conduit.

That's true.  Transformers 2 has a terrible metacritic rating.  No one cares about that.   Wii owners get too preoccupied with these ratings.  Just enjoy the game, it's fun - kinda like Transformers 2.



 

This game is a lot of fun. I only wish that my connection didn't suck so much, so I could actually play online reasonably. (I live in the middle of nowhere, and have a 600ms ping because of satellite.)

 

BTW: Anyone get a Quake 2 vibe from this game? This game reminds me of that, for some reason, in a good way. Ah, I spent soo much time playing Q2, both offline and online. Q2, Q1 (including TF1) and UT99 are really the only FPSs I've really played online much. Biggest reason being, as we moved out of the '90s and into the 2000s, every other place got broadband, and my crappy area was left without it, leaving me unable to play online very well. I was on 56k until 2007, and then finally breaking down and buying satellite two years ago. My area still doesn't have real broadband, and won't get it for the foreseeable future. The county government actually turned down free provinical money to upgrade the internet because they felt "everyone was happy with dial up".

 

I hate rural Ontario.



sheesh deal with it people

The Conduit FAILED to deliver........it was over-hyped, WAY over-hyped, especially on VGC

A metacritic score of 75 (which will go down) isn't what this game should've been at @snesboy boy thats weak, so Because HAZE sold 750K, should we just forget how bad it was & that it also failed to deliver?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

But it's a fun game, so it didn't under deliver. Atleast for me.

@volrath: I'm even more of a quake fanboy then metroid and I noticed that too. :)

Haze wasn't that bad. It just wasn't good by reviewers standards.

 

I like my neutral approach. It won't get me banned.



^ You got banned for saying 2 games sucked and that they should play snes instead. I LOL'ed when that happened.

It may have failed to deliver some points, but overall I would say it DELIVERED.  Definitely things could have been better with the single player, but overall I am happy with my purchase.  Definitely one of my top favorite 20% of wii games I own.  It's not complete enough in the single player mode to be AAA material, but it is a great game and lived up to what most of the hype was saying, which is namely a fun online FPS experience with decent graphics.



I'd go as far as to say that The Conduit is a must-buy for the Wii. The best online experience available imo.
