Wow, I don't know what to say. It's good to hear that IGN finally gave due credit. On the other hand, I just can't stand the gore.

This game looks amazing but 5 or 6 hours seems kinda short. =/ Thats like the same length as Heavenly Sword and I think a bit shorter then GoW PsP.

Why is it so hard for people to actually give a link to the reviews? I know scores are nice and pretty but sometimes people would actually like to read the reviews...

Whyyy do you win this thread war??

OT: good review but this essentially means the only other wii game that has a chance at getting a 9 from ign is Muramasa. The conduit now won't get a 9.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

The Conduit will get a 9 or higher.  I'm tired of the HURR DURR Generic Shooter on Wii HURR DURR comments.

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

On the IGN podcast Matt and Bozon mentioned that this was going to be wii's game of the year and the only game that could challenge it would probably be Muramasa. Therefore I think it's probably safe to say that The Conduit won't get a 9.

Hope this score can help the game do well.

I have to admit that, despite enjoying a great many violent games myself, I'm still on the fence when it comes to buying a game whose entire premise is basically gore, even if its extracted with good gameplay.

If Wii hardcore games get some decent sales, this could really help (or hinder, if the reverse is true, since the game doesn't have 'it reviewed poorly' to fall back upon) the Wii's library down the road.
