Reviews:

8.0	Presentation Variations of this storyline have been told a dozen times in shooters, but the presentation is still well done. Intriguing cut-scenes, great acting, and a variety of options make The Conduit pop.
8.5	Graphics The Conduit's art is sometimes outperformed by its tech, but the end experience is still visually pleasing. An outstanding 3D engine allows for graphical effects uncommon in most Wii games.
8.0	Sound Fantastic voice work, sound effects with genuine umph and catchy music. WiiSpeak sometimes drowns out the music and sound effects during online play.
8.0	Gameplay If we were just rating gameplay control, it'd be a perfect score. The Conduit is a fun first-person shooter, but beware: it's also a straightforward one. Run and gun, enemy spawners, and little else.
9.0	Lasting Appeal Between five and a half and eight hours for the single-player mode, which you can come back to for achievements. But the multiplayer mode will last months, if not longer.
8.6 Great	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
