Hercules becomes a terrorist in High Voltage's new action game...
Or, no, wait, not Hercules - But, Kevin Sorbo, who used to play Hercules in the super cult-classic tv-series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Sorbo will be playing the role of the terrorist Prometheus in The Conduit, you can take this information any way you want. Sorbo will, thankfully, get accompanied by other "famous" actors like Mark Sheppard, who was in the wonderful series Firefly once upon a time, so it doesn't have to spell disaster.
Anyway, we have a game to talk about, too. A quick look shows you that The Conduit, visually, reminds of Metroid Prime having a bad day. In motion, it doesn't look much better, even though High Voltage like to boast about their advanced Quantum 3-engine that they've developed specifically to enhance the graphical standards on Nintendo's little white super-seller.
But as we all know, graphics aren't everything, and there are several games for the Nintendo Wii that deliver unbeatable entertainment without needing to rely on the latest technology. Meaning that a lot hangs on how well-developed the controls for The Conduit are, something that's been, to say the least, lacking in most first-person shooters for the console. The Conduit will support online play, and gives you deathmatches, an initiative a lot of actionhungry Wii-owners will be happy about - Several of us here at the magazine included.
Until High Voltage has convinced me with a (hopefully) polished review version I'm choosing to, for now, stay highly skeptical. Better controls and a good story can hopefully save The Conduit from becoming another grey, generic and boring actiongame amongst the others."
So, no, they haven't played the game, and that translation is flawed on so many points it's not even funny.
