The Conduit preview: Technically marvellous but it's not really much fun

This preview has to be completely wrong.

Up until now I heard that this was going to be the greatest shooter of all time.

 

 Who's been saying that?  I will posit that the Wii owners who are excited for this game are more excited that it's the first of it's kind, not the best (at least, that's how it is for me):  A Wii exclusive built around the strengths of the console, specifically, the controls, and the graphical focus implies that High Voltage, as a 3rd party, is actually trying.  That's not something that can be said about many a 3rd party Wii game.

 

It's not the first shooter on the Wii that a third party actually tried.  I'm sick of hearing this.  There was a lot of effort put into Red Steel regardless of what several people might say.   

It didn't get very good reviews, and I've always heard it was a glitchy mess.  And, as Savior noted, that was a launch title years ago.  There really hasn't been anything in between.

 

 

What do the reviews of the Conduit say?  Nothing.  It hasn't been released yet.

What makes you think that it will be good at all?  Is it High Voltage's awesome track record?

Red Steel was hyped up similarly and this is why I used this comparison.  It also was three years ago, and my point was that the Conduit is not the first shooter that has had effort put into it like you stated.

I hope that the Conduit's a good game, but it looks cliched and boring to me.
