This.  No fan in their right mind has said that The Conduit will be able to compete with the best of the best shooters out there.  The problem is that there are barely any good shooters on the Wii, so even a solid shooter will be a worthy addition to the library for anyone who is fan of FPS. 

To be perfectly honest i think HVS are taking the route of all publicity is good publicity route with The Conduit because, to be honest, if they didn't create a bit of controversy or promote a reaction in people who would be paying any attention to them or this game?

You need to take a closer look at the third party line up for the rest of the year.  There's got to be some games there that appeal to you.

Metroid Prime isn't even an FPS, how can it be the best?

So far the reveiws are a little disappointing, but they were also out before the game went gold... makes me wonder if they are really worth trusting. At least they are not bad reviews, but still was expecting it to get closer to 90 than 80. Too soon to say for sure, but 80 & 76 isn't a good start, even if they were likely from beta copies.

I wasn't really interested in the grinder, but after that trailer I think I might be as long as it's not all FPS (ie: at least a little RE 4 action adventure thrown in). If the Conduit is as good as I expect it to be, I will definitely be keeping an eye on it. If not, then it's not likely I will ever get hyped about the grinder.

that's easy - the "hate" is from people that are fed up with the hype, just like it was with KZ2, Halo 3, FF7 and so on (in a much smaller scale mind you)

I don't get this part. I can understand that "The Conduit is competing against KZ2, Gear of War, Halo, CoD..... The Grinder has to only compete against L4d2." but if you want to say L4D2 is not even on Wii, you have to say that all the other games The Conduit is competing against are not Wii either.

Xseed and HVS are the only 3rd party that really put effort on Wii games, and their Wii graphics look super

i think HVS does much better promotion until now, and i think their games will sell more

The Wii has no shaders like the standard graphic-chips that are used in pc/xbox360/ps3 but the wii graphic-processor has an alternative concept with so called "tev" (Texture EnVironment) that can do a lot of things that shader can do but use much less processor and graphics power and even some things shader won't be able to do.

I think all those bee stings you took in wicker man has your eyes swelled shut.

There has been plenty of great games this year and a crap load more on the way.

My apolgies I was unclear. I hope this clears the what I was trying to say.

TC, Halo, CoD are all FPS games. They are classic FPS designed games. Features may be different, but they fit the typical FPS game play. Then there is the FPS market. The FPS market is old and dates back it's origins to Qauke. Yes there were older like my first being Wolfenstien 3D Qauke and Doom seemed to be the big ones. The FPS market has chosen the consoles of choice. PS360. So TC is moving into an already crowded market. Part of the problem was that early Wii FPS games like Farcry sucked really badly that it reinforced to ignore the Wii. So TC since it's a straight FPS game has to pull a market from the other consoles. This is unlikely to happen due to the fact that there are soooo many chioces why would they buy another console. Yes there will be Wii FPS owners, but FPS core players aren't not Wii owners.

L4D & TG are a different FPS. FPS market plays L4D, but that doesn't mean L4D players play classic shooters. It's different enough to warrant instead the Monster Co-Op Shooter. Survival coop is very important to the this class of shooter. The only game in this market is L4D. Valve created a Blue Ocean in the Red Ocean FPS market. This is why L4D stands out, there are no other games that are similar. TG is going to be joining into this market. This means that the Monster coop survivalst players have very little choice. Yes they will get L4d, but with limited choices they will also likely add TG to the list(providing the game doesn't screw up the fun factor). Because of this it can help push this shooter class to buy a Wii if they were on the fence or had leanings. It won't grab 50% of the market, but 20% can still be a huge chunk.

As for the Wii FPS market. It already exists and showing it's rather weak, but TC still needs to prove itself against already established Wii FPS games. TG has no compitition on the Wii. I honestly don't see people choosing L4D over TG, but I do see people who like Monsters and Zombies will end up getting both.

Isn´t it the controls that set The Counduit apart from other Fps games like Halo and
Killzone. It can´t compete with their graphics (it looks really good for a Wii game) but
with it´s customizable controls it will do something that can´t be done on X360 and PS3.
