This developer's diary video makes it look kinda cool, in the customizing of the layout and so on: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/theconduit/video/6204895/the-conduit-behind-the-scenes-1?hd=0 But, the impression I get from it is: If you only system you own is a Wii, and you don't have a PC, PS3 or 360, then this would be worth considering. So, why should anyone else who owns a 360 or PS3 or PC that can play up to day FPS titles care about this? One can argue for Metroid Prime doing something unique, and it is METROID after all. But, the Conduit? Why would anyone outside a Wii-only owner care about it and discuss it? Contrast this with discussions of Unreal Tournament (for AI), Gears of War and Killzone 2 (for graphics), and Halo (number of mods and players online). But the Conduit? Seems to me like a poorman's alternative to a bunch of other games on more powerful systems. However, please correct me here. Why should anyone who owns something else besides a Wii care about it? Are we back to the world has to buy it so that the Wii gets more then Carnival Games? Or, maybe it is to save Sega from going under.

@bolded: Notice that you had different reasons for recommending each game over the other and yet still can't realize the driving point of the Conduit is something none of those titles possess, Wii controls. So yes, while you can say the Conduit does not have those strong suits the other games have, those same games do not have the Wii's controls. If you had been paying attention to people that are excited about the Conduit, you'll notice that is an important part of why they want it so much.
