Jeff Gerstmann reviews The Conduit (40%)

[theRepublic]

I wasn't going to comment on this because Giant Bomb and Jeff Gerstmann don't deserve the attention, but since the thread is already up to 50 replies I'll go ahead and say something.

Two days ago (check the timestamp) I said:

I learned long ago that Giant Bomb is a terrible website for Wii owners.  Avoid it.

Today, they prove me right yet again.

I think the problem with reviews for this game, is that a lot of people have prejudged it before even playing it.  They go in saying, "I'm not going to like this," and find reasons to not like it.  Nevermind that many of the things they knock this game for exist in every FPS.  Nevermind that the controls are completely customizable.

The part about the controls just drives me nuts.  It's like this is the first game he has ever played using the IR pointer.  Didn't he play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption two years ago?  Or any of the other shooters that have been on the Wii?  Or even Wii Play for God's sake.
