I understand that people want this game to be good.

But looking at the release history of High Voltage Software, I'm not sure why people can be so optimistic about it.

According to Wikipedia, the average scores (last column) of their past releases have been less than encouraging.

2008 V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack 50%
2007 America's Army: True Soldiers 44%
2007 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 63%
2007 Ben 10: Protector of Earth 58%
2007 Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law 62%
2006 Family Guy Video Game! 50%
2006 Blitz: Overtime 61%
2006 The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy 60%

Is there a good reason to believe that this seemingly-mediocre developer with sad history will surely deliver a decent game on Wii?

Maybe, I'm missing something.

That list is very misleading Omoneru... High Voltage's history goes back to the mid 90's so they have a very extensive back catalogue... hell they worked on the Jaguar for f*ck's sake!

To everyone reading: If you bother to scroll through their list of games on their Wiki page you'll see that roughly 99% of their games are based on licenses or IPs like major sports organizations and TV shows, etc. so you can't really blame them for the overall low ratings most of their games have gotten (there's some very good games in that bunch though like All Star Baseball and Quarterback club from the N64 days and Lego Racers was a solid Mario Kart clone).

The Conduit is one of, if not their first ever, totally and completely original game built from the ground up by a team that is very dedicated and has the technical know-how to put out a quality title that is anything but rushed or shovelware, and that's obvious to anyone who has read interviews with the team. Hell look at the titles they just rattled off there and said they were inspired by... Goldeneye, Metroid Prime, Half-life, Halo, Resistance... I mean u can't get any better then that in terms of influence, so how can u NOT love a game that would sucessfully fuse elements from all the above titles into one sucessful package (here's hoping!).

Back OT... the more i hear about this game the more excited i get for it... its one of the few Wii games im really looking forward to.... hopefully it will deliver and be one of the first big Wii titles for '09.
