WOW......that score is unexpected...

I expected a 9...or atleast wanted them to give it a 9 but 8.6 doesnt mean I wont get it...

So, The Conduit is a hit already!!!!! Now I wanna see big numbers for first week!

Err... please... don't... call... him my... friend...

;D

Hm Gamestop told me tuesday. If it is not there after I drive 30mins my normally calm self might have some nerd rage

Even Matt himself said a number of times in the review that the game isn't up to the standards on other consoles.

I'm just saying. Don't everyone jump on me at once D:

Great review, except this paragraph has me a little worried...

"However, I also encountered situations overrun with lag in which on-screen characters would skip around erratically, making maintained matches virtually unplayable. It seems clear to me that the technology is in place for some great online experiences, but whether or not you actually get them may depend on your connection speed, as well as how many people are playing against you. Even with this split between good and bad connections, though, I think there will be a lot of Wii owners willing to suffer through some laggy battles for the good ones, which make possible some truly entertaining fragfests."

I really hope we don't end up with another Brawl situation on our hands... Mario Kart Wii runs flawlessly with 12 people playing all around the world, and I hope this was just some issues with SEGA's servers and that the game will run smoothly after launch.

A little higher then what I was expecting...

I work at Best Buy and our shipment comes in Wednesday. That means it won't be available for customers until Wednesday afternoon.

Well now, this is a pleasant surprise. The disclosing comments were just what i expected. i'm going to head off to read IGN's full review of the game, thanks for posting this Tecmo :)

Also, argh! Did anyone else hear how europe's release date for the game was pushed back a tad, that really twisted my shell. Isn't it out tomorrow (or Wednesday) for you american's though? I'd better get some hands on impressions from someone here :P

"... it features the most customizable, precise and enjoyable controls of any console shooter created, hands down. Meanwhile, the technology powering the experience is leaps and bounds ahead of most third- party offerings for Nintendo's system. Combined, you've got a game that controls flawlessly and looks great."

- That says it all, really. :) Good enough for me indeed!

The same for me, but don't hype yourself. Perfect Dark was perfect because it had a lot of things to do, a good mix of action and stealth. Tons of multiplayer options and a good story. The Conduit, as said in the review, is just a Run and Gun type of game. I'm sure it will be good, but not in the same level as Perfect Dark.

Glad it got a good review, but Matt gave Madworld a 9.0, and in my opinion that was overrated. We'll see with this one.
