Wall of text hurts my eyes.

But, i agree... its a pretty cheap attempt to derail the game.

What will be really funny, is if the game turns out to be as bad as that fake review was.

I hate it when people declare that if The Conduit sells poorly the wii won't see anymore third-party games. The wii will see third-party games regardless of The Conduits success or not.

1. Third-parties will not ignore a userbase of that size

2. Japanese third-parties will always want to develop for wii as it has Dragon Quest X coming which essentially gurantees that the wii will win there.

3. There are plenty of third-party efforts already. The Wii's upcoming lineup is awesome and it's just about exclusively third-party.

Yay, call everyone who disagrees haters so you can ignore any points they make.

How about some legitimate criticism of the game that people have raised.

1. No cooperative play on a console defined by it.

2. Some people say it doesn't look like anything they haven't seen before, to many people it looks like a last gen fps dressed up in Wiimote controls.

3. Some people like, some people hate the art directions. If they are potential paying customers its their right to judge.

4. There have been other flops for the Wii, unfortunately good games which didn't sell. So of course theres a chance that the Conduit will not sell very well.

Wrong. NPD proved the Wii sells more software, whether total or 3rd party.

Already proven wrong. This only works when you selectivly take the top X amount of third party games and then compare. This however is inaccurate towards TOTAL third party sales. As for the top X listed games. There is a complete disparity in the effort put into the games favoring HD consoles. Seriouslly I like No More Heroes and Mad World, but let's be honest they nowhere near had any amount of the same effort as DMC, MGS4, GTA4, RE5.... let's actually see the same game franchise played the same way with the same polish released at the same time on it before Wii is listed as the core gamer fail machine.

Cause no offense to the game, but playing a big doesn't do it for me in play style. Maybe I would like it if I played it, but I haven't yet and playing a bug isn't attracting me to try.

I do have a cavet though. FPS games have never been so much about the gameplay. To developers it's more about the technical achievment. So even if this game is a marvel FPS fans have already chosen wich system to play the FPS games on. This decision was made well before the Wiiremote was even announced. No amount of intuitive interface will massive sell this game on the Wii.

Scared of what? The game doesn't come close to the best shooters on the PS3 and 360.

So far I think I'm the only person in this thread besides hsrob who has read this.

It would be nice if the people posting after this post would take the time to read it as well.

I agree with this 100%. The only people echoing such nonsense are the fanboys hoping this would be the case. The Conduit is not a "messiah." It is a game attempting to diversify the Wii library. After Prime 3 I no longer cared for dual analogue for aiming and have been waiting patiently for another game to nail the controls. W@W was a decent game and online is cool, but this game is attempting to surpass that. I can careless about reviews or fanboys on forums telling me a game sucks or is good, I reserve judgement for myself.

I'm alittle disappointed that Madworld is considered a flop and is now some sort of benchmark for "M" games on the Wii, that's such a tired argument, especially when there are other M games on Wii that have went platinum, 2 or three of them fps. I think the Conduit will find succes, how much is not known, no one truly knows what will be a hit or not.

But the fear is obvious and has been apparent since the games inception. One of the problems with this gen is people would rather battle in forums than enjoy games. They'd rather dice up and designate certain types of games  and gamers "casual" and "hardcore."
