I was seriously torn today between getting The Conduit or getting Grand Slam Tennis. Man...I should've gotten tennis. Let me start off by saying I think that Metroid Prime 3 is fantastic (I plan on getting the trilogy) and so is Medal of Honor Heroes 2, so my feelings on The Conduit so far have nothing to do with "being spoiled" by the HD FPS games. The graphics are blah. Bland repetitive environments. I thought this was supposed to be a stunning looking Wii title. The gameplay/controls are blah. Same few enemies over and over with pretty stupid AI. Why can't I twist the remote or nunchuck to lean out of cover like in MoHH2? Health pickups? Are you kidding me? Get up to speed with modern shooters that have regenerating health.
Since there's some fun to be had, I'll definitely stick with the game and beat it at least once, maybe twice to get my money's worth. Most likely, this one won't earn a permanent spot in my library. It will probably end up as trade fodder towards a more worthy title. Don't believe the hype on this one. Sorry, I know I'll probably take a lot of heat for this.
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
