Forums - Nintendo - First Impressions of the Conduit

Yep, it's fun.

I was one of the lucky ones and was able to get it today.

It is a pretty straight forward run and gun (just the way I like it).   Some crouching here and there for cover but there's usually some health drops so you can often barrel through if you're a good shot.   

 

Looks great.  Very polished presentation.   Had one bug (guy died by didn't fall down because of a wall) but otherwise a great experience.   I can tell I'm already going to want to play through the story mode again (and again) partly to find stuff with ASE and partly to do it harder and partly just 'cause it's fun.  Graphics are as beautiful as can be hoped for on Wii.

 

Controls - Excellent.  The default is perfect unless you hate waggle.   Might remap melee attacks because I don't always get that to respond but, ironically, always do when I need to (probably because I'm excited and putting more umph into it).   Throwing grenades is perfect.  That Gamepro idiot reviewer didn't know what he was doing.

 

Multiplayer - not many on.  Had a group of 5.   Ran perfectly, no lag.   One of the HVS staff was on - cool.  Kicked ass though. 

 

I'm rusty at my FPS as hell but The Conduit is as fun as I had hoped.    Great title for Wii owners (from what I've played so far).

Probably.  I'm pretty old school with my FPS so if you like Doom, Unreal and such you're going to like The Conduit.  It's got that same vibe and it's great aiming with the wiimote (instead of dual analog). 



 

Gratz man, you're the lucky guy.I hope i'll get this game withing 2 weeks. :D



gah... have to shell out extra cash for a wiispeak and wifi router... can anyone recommend a good brand?

You got to play with HVS employees, now thats aweosme. But I wont be able to play until July because the game got delayed here in Aus. :(



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

Awesome! Articulated your points well, and I feel like this game may bring me back to the golden-days of FPS gaming, like Doom and Goldeneye.

Now, to come up with some money...



Explanation of sig:

I am a Pakistani.....my name is Dan....how hard is that? (Don't ask about the 101...apparantely there are more of me out there....)

I can't wait when I pick it up tomorrow I'm probably going to play though the story 2-3 times before going online so I can get use to the controls...



Former something....
