Lots of Wii games get very mixed reviews primarily because the context of the reviewers is very different, and some reviewers make very odd choices in how they will play games that they're reviewing.
If you're reviewing the Conduit and comparing it directly to a Bioshock as a single player FPS, and against a Call of Duty/Halo 3/Killzone 2 as a multiplayer FPS, under the assumption that everyone has the choice between these games and it is entirely acceptable to buy 2 $60 games for the HD consoles to get the best possible experience then you really miss the point; and the Conduit will not end up with a decent review.
Even if you make the assumption that there is unprecidented multiplatform ownership in this generation, it is likely that less than 33% of Wii owners will ever have access to a HD console to buy these other games to play them; and even if they did it is unlikely that they would be all that interested in buying 2 games in order to have the best single and multiplayer experience. The question most people who are reading the reviews are wondering is whether The Conduit is a worthwhile purchase for the Wii when compared against what else is available for the Wii ...
Gamespot's review of The Conduit puts it below Call of Duty 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and in a similar "Class" as Dead Rising: Chop til You Drop, which is not a realistic picture of the quality of the game.
