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

IMO, any shooter on the Wii will 'automatically' be more fun than on its HD cousins due to the controls. Given that they are fixing the technical Wii issues, focusing on the controls - I expect this to be a LOT of fun.

Let the fear mongering begin - the media couldn't possibly let the Wii become the FPS console of choice ;)

Wow. Are you serious?

Depends how you (personally) define 'fun' - but hell yeah.

I *cannot* play Halo3. I *cannot* play Killzone. I *cannot* play Resistance. I *cannot* play GoWI/II.

The Wiimote has spoilt me (again, this is ME personally) and I just can't go back. Playing a FPS on those other consoles just feels... wierd, foreign... wrong.

I used to play Quake/CounterStrike/Doom (etc) - and when I moved from PC to console, was when I stopped playing FPS titles.

RE4 (Wii) is awesome - its the benchmark for me (yes, I know its not a 'real' FPS...). I loved Metroid 3 - except for the fact that it *wasn't* Metroid at all (my main critisicm of it) - and it was way too easy ;).

Content & graphics are very much secondary to controls IMO.

Red Steel has its moments of awesomeness - pity the controls were so loose. Very much looking forward to RS2, almost certain to be revealed at E3 - for a Xmas release.

I shudder to think how much better these games could get with Motion+ as well.
