Yeah, I watched the video review and he justifies himself pretty well. After watching it, and listening to his points, the score still seems a bit low, but the important part of a review isn't the score, it's what the reviewer says about the gameplay experience. Even though his score is lower, his review actually comes across as an intelligent piece, unlike the GamePro one.
While my copy of the game hasn't arrived yet, I don't think hiding in a corner and thinking the world is biased against you is ever really a good solution. I think it's entierly reasonable that the Conduit is, overall, an average game. It still sounds like there is a lot to like in it, it just isn't the end-all-be-all that many people had hoped for.
The important thing is (again, from reading reviews, my copy is in the mail), it's still fundamentally a solid game, if rough around the edges. The main complaints are on the story, art direction and genericity. For a small company like HVS, this still appears to be a very good game, and hopefully a precursor for things to come.
