What I'm worried of is how this game will be reviewed when it's released. Since most of the major FPS are released on the HD twins (except MP3), inevitable comparisons will be made with games for those machines.
On one hand, I feel it's only fair to compare same genre games across same generation consoles. On the other hand, I feel that the Conduit deserves to be reviewed based on what the Wii can muster.
The fact that the game is not published by Nintendo makes the game susceptible to "bells and whistles" kind of review. If it were published by Nintendo, at least reviewers are more predisposed to see the merits of the gameplay first, graphics second.
This issue isn't easy because we all know High Voltage is trying their best to make a good-looking game for the Wii.
But should we support a double standard? Review the game taking consideration of the graphical limitations of the hardware it's running on?
Or review the game as it is, comparing it with other FPS on the current generation?
I know I'm trying to be ahead of the reviews. I don't even know if the gameplay is really good or not. But what I see are developers with a passion to raise a new graphical bar on the Wii. I'd really hate to see their hearts broken.
