Since FPS have been around for ages, there's always the temptation to add something new to differentiate it or 'keep up with the Jones'.   Except for some very basic puzzle elements HVS has avoided that.   There's no hiding behind walls, no stealth, no squad commands, no advanced AI where you have to tactically outthink the opponets, no calling in air strikes, no co-op play, etc. 

In essence you can give the wiimote to your wife/girlfriend/sister/daughter say 'just point and shoot and use the stick to move'.  And that's it - they can play the entire game (almost) by themselves. with no further instruction.

Because to me it just seems to be a tech demo.  There may be a great story but I haven't seen them show any signs of it.  There might be great art design but what has been seen so far seems very generic (to me anyways).  It just seems like its claim to fame is the controller input and the fact it's on the Wii.  When the developers were asked about it possibly going to HD consoles they basically avoided the question and said that some "companies have shooters on those systems that are several revs deep" which leads me to believe they wouldn't have much faith in their current product against such games.

I can't wait for the Conduit!! It's going to be so aw--

What? No splitscreen multiplayer?

Meh.

(Don't do it 11ht11, DKII might be watching! :P )

Because it's a generic shooter. That's why it's meh. There is really nothing special or amazing about it aside from what it's doing on the Wii. I'm getting it for the online, personally, but in no way do I think it's the greatest thing ever created. However, I do respect the devs for the massive effort they've put into the game which can be scarce on Wii.

 I think this is quite an accurate description of many people's attitudes towards the game; this genre is sorely lacking on the Wii, what efforts have been made are pathetic, are High Voltage's attitude towards the Wii indicates they actually are taking it seriously (and, thus, effort, which, depending on how well they do, could be very fun and good).

In the words of Wii fans who talk about HD shooters "Meh....just a generic shooter"

becuase HD owners call the conduit "Meh....just a generic shooter"

Because if you own a PC or a another console, you've probably played about 50 better shooters in the last two years alone.

The Conduit isn't the only "meh" shooter around.
Resistance 2 was meh. FEAR 2 was meh. For an FPS to grab my attention these days it needs to be of KIllzone 2, Bioshock or CoD4 quality.

The graphics are amazing! I love the lighting in this game, looks beautiful. Even some of the environments look pretty nice. But the enemies look so generic O_o They really need some proper artists to work on the character design. If u've ever played any of the castlevania DS games where there are about 100 different enemies to fight, most which are really cool, u get higher expectations for other games.

Also, what's up with no local multiplayer. That's what MADE goldeneye & perfect dark, who cares about single player? The Wii is a party system, ppl w friends buy the it, why no local multiplayer??

I really don't know if i will buy it...

im meh for it because id honestly buy wii fit 2 first
