HVS needs to learn from this and make Conduit as good if not better than current FPS's.

This is a 7.5 game. 6.5 if on ps360...but extra point for offering a good FPS experience on online gimped Wii.

I'm afraid the game would be far lower then a 6.5 on an HD console...

Not at all. It would have better graphics, yet worse control. How could that equal a lower score?


Someone that is not used to 360 pad maybe...but I'd take 360 pad controller in Halo over wii mote in the conduit any day.

You're in the minority, pal. How can moving an analog stick with your thumb be better than aiming and shooting?

Couldn't tell you. But I could assure you 110%, if you gave me The Conduit with analog and let me fight online against people with the Wiimote I'd tear them up something messy. Guess its experience.

I can understand that if you've been playing FPS on dual analog for the last ten years.   Personally I've always played FPS on PC and there's no way dual analog would ever suffice for me.   The Conduit (with Deadzone reduced to almost 0) is as close to mouse as I've ever seen and from the luxury of my couch.   Love it.

No chance. None.

You should play the game first before you make such statements.   In many ways Conduit smokes CoDWaW.   But it follows a more archiac FPS design which is why the reviews are poorer.

I find that Dual analog sticks are more accurate once you get good at it. Wii mote is not as accurate as I'd like it to be. You can see the cursor shaking slightly as you hold your hand steady. You can do more complex stuff like throw grenade and not lose aim. Waggle grenades don't work for me at all. Melee as stab with wii mote? That completely sucks... I like the fact you can change suff but there are not a lot of buttons on the wiimote so there are not many places you can move these actions to.

I dont think Wii mote controls are bad in the Conduit but I'd love to try with dual analogs too...

Its not a terrible score by any means... My high-end expectations where in the 82 range and low-end in the 65... so yeah. Its not Modern Warfare but IMO for a generic shooter as this one just the gameplay and tech to get it to 74% is not bad at all ;)

Not to mention that almost nobody reviewed WaW for the Wii. I'm sure if 1up, Gamepro, Gamespot, GI, etc. had reviewed the game, its score would have gone down as well.

See, I could understand that if someone used a Wiimote for as long as I have a mouse/analog stick that they could beat me in a shooter. But disolitude essentially just explained why, right now it'd be easy to pick off someone as forementioned.

If they make the conduit 2 (big chance seeing the first sales), it will be better in a lot of ways.

The reason WAW got better scores is because of:

a) it's a old franchise and those always score higher then they should. Did GTA 4 reallty earn a 10 on so many sites? The previous installement was better. Let's be honest.

b) It wasn't an exclusive nor did try to put some real fps love to the wii. So WAW didn't get nailed in the ass like the conduit. After all most (so called) hardcore gamers claimed this genre for the HD twins. The idea that the 'casual' wii could claim that genre too (with the conduit to begin) seems to threaten whatever they need to believe in.

 

TC went against the wishes or presumptions of the internet, thus had to take a bigger beating then it deserved. It deserved a solid +/- 85.

 



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

whatever with reviewers. The Conduit is a solid game. not a 9.0..but a 8.0 to 8.5 game...the online is fun and the single player was good. I dont care about the reviewers...im enjoying it..and thats all that matters...
