They said graphically advanced, not best design. They didn't claim to beat something like the last metroid on design.

Graphics and art design are two very different things.

Actually, it's a 76, 80, 83, 86, and 87. I think only the very optimistic were expecting 90+ scores for this game.

Most of these reviews do suggest that The Conduit is the best FPS on the platform. With no other FPS games on the horizon, if you want to shoot people on your Wii, you want The Conduit.

pretty good reveiw.

Awesome. Multiplayer is what I'm looking forward to.

I wonder which other Wii games got above 86% in the graphics department. It would be good to know, and use for comparison. The art design probably did affect the score slightly, but the game is technically impressive. The fact that the controls got 92% and the multiplayer got a 90% makes this game all that imagined it was- fun to play.

Hmm...86?

Nice!

To be honest, I was quite excited to play this game at E3, but I walked away fairly underwhelmed by the few minutes of single-player I got to play. As has been heavily mentioned, the controls and graphics are great, but the level design (at least for the one that I played, which was likely the starting level) was very linear. I was also kind of hoping for intelligent enemies that made me make good use of the quality controls (like aiming just right to pop a headshot while he was behind cover).

I didn't hate it, and I was at the beginning of the game and didn't get to test multiplayer, though, and the game definitely still holds promise! I'll post some impressions later.

Controls 92%
Multiplayer 90%

Sounds fantastic to me, these two are the most important thing IMO. I haven't cared for Singleplayer since Perfect Dark.

So The Conduit is good game, not a great game. Not bad for me. And if the controls are so good and there are many enemies to supply the poor IA then it will also be fun... Nice!
