The conduit deserved more than 69% without a doubt. How many fps's on wii are better than it? (Exclusives, not cod or moh ect). Look at the score halo 3 original got, you can realy tell me it deserved that score? Boring and mediocre yet still gets 94...? Ye theres nothing going on there...Its better than gears 2 and as good as bioshock sure... Gta iv got 98, so its like the best game ever created now? Ha with the capital H. Ratings are often full of shit. Btw to that guy who forgot the name. The name of the engine high voltage is using is quantum 3, probly the best engine on wii.

I agree with you on that part, that some games are overrated and probably don't deserve those incredible scores. But also these games are still levels beyond where Conduit reached. Halo 3 is 3rd time the same, but the first time it was a revolution. Now they just polish it more and more. It has unrivalled multiplayer (or atleast that's what people think). GTA 4 really isn't the best game of all times, according to it's score, but it's still light years ahead of Conduit. Big franchises can disappoint with new titles, but only in certain area - not standing up to the hype. If that Xth sequel was the first game in that franchise, everyone would love it. It's the same but incredibly polished. Many people are rating new Ratchet and Clank down, for it beeing the Xth game with pretty much the same. But if you are first time player, you are in for the time of your life.

But Conduit couldn't offer that, it was generic, everything was generic, from story, to art design, gameplay etc... There was no such exclusive Wii title, only similar title would be CoD: WaW. It had no competetion and it floped. You can see it at the charts, it first come out in NA, people were hyped for it, sold 65k first week. But most of the reviews were out before it was released in EU, now look at those numbers - 18k. One of it's kind for the userbase of 55 milion consoles...

I'd say they went the wrong direction, instead of hyping the game's visuals (which looks like 1998 pc game), they should've focused on story, game design, art design and gameplay. I believe that it might be really nice multiplayer experience - but only when you consider the Wii.
