Forums - Nintendo - So, I beat The Conduit. My mini review.

I've done 6 levels of the story and I have to say it's pretty good. The first few were kinda bland, but then it gets really fun :D
The multiplayer (when you're good) is a blast! I have to give this game an 8.5

Never thought MH2 would be beaten.... The game was published by EA.... EA boycott for life till another General Chaos!!!!! I never played MH2 but I have played CoD:WaW on Wii. I think CoD:WaW is better than MH2 for the Wii based on what most people say that have played both games.



At first i played the game in 480p widescreen in my 42" lcd and i thought it has some slowdown that ruins the gameplay
but tonite i carried my wii to my work and we have a 4:3 CRT tv and OMG
the game kicks ass in a crt tv the framerate is superb and the game is awesome
how can u say the campaign mode is boring?
as much as i love Halo 3 i find it way more boring than the conduit (in campaign mode)
the reviews are all SO wrong the game is a 9/10 and im not biased
its the best time i have on wii since long time



The real problem for me is the short campaign, but I think that I can agree with your mini review. The multiplayer is great! And that's why I have to give a 8.0.

It took me about 7 hours and now is time to do my mini review:

- The Story Sucks: Yep for all those claiming it would be generic, yes it is. No cinematic cutscenes, VO is terrible, TV sound effects are average (the wiimote sounds look awesome) and the game is linear to death: go from A to B, pump the guts full of bullets everything that moves.

- Visually it semi-sucks: I did some close views to pretty much everything in the game, I was amazed how things simply don't lose detail as we approach it, many unseen effects on the Wii, some serious shading and bump mapping work, Agent Ford hands and weapons are one of the best I've seen including PS360 games... But it looks like shit!!!! Seriously, the randomness of the objects is annoying, so many awkward repeated stuff thrown into to fulfill the scenario.  HVS should hire a serious Art Director. Graphically its a raw diamond. Impressive but the way it is designed sucks.

- Gameplay: This is were it shines. The FPS with the best gameplay actually is The Conduit. It's simply perfect, never though Medal of Honor Heroes 2 could be beaten, but this is way beyond it. Absolutely ZERO flaws in the gameplay, and the cursor itself is even more sensitive than what it is navigating the wii menu. A milimetric change in the position appears on screen. I used a custom layout were I changed pretty much everything.

 

Multiplayer: Have yet to test it.

Just to finish: I was fuc**ng bored playing through the Story Mode, but I've finished it. I will have much more fun on the game playing it online, not on story mode, just like CoD that I didn't even finished the main campaign. The HVS engine can do wonders on the Wii, many detail into the objects and particle effects, water effects are stunning and gameplay is god. Now they just need an Art Director and make deals with some good sound studios and good actors.

 

Hope The Grinder and Gladiator A.D both fulfill The Conduit's flaws and takes the engine beyond.

 

 

I recall in an IGN podcast that Bozon had said that HVS's artist would be a challnege for The Conduit, that he felt that the tech was BETTER then they were, lol. Unless they hired a new staff expect the same artists for Galaditor A.D., and The Grinder, lol.

...All that being said I'd give it an 8.6/10.



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

I haven't jumped online yet, which would explain my displeasure with the game so far then. I'm gonna skip the rest of SP, expect me online soon Does this use friend codes, or does it have a lobby system, or?...



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

About your final line:

From what we've seen, it doesn't look like the Grinder will be any more (probably even less) impressive visually than the conduit (which is disappointing because I thought the conduit looked alright in videos and I thought the Grinder looked horrible).

Good to hear about the controls though, I get the feeling (due to the nature of the wiimote and customisability of the conduits controls) that it will get marked down because people couldn't find a control setting they liked with the limited time they had to get the review out OR people might claim it's just HVS being lazy.

Let us know how online goes, I might get this game if online is good.



you guys are really making me want the Conduit...and I hate FPS



I dont underatand why people say the story sucks. I mean its nothing amazing..but its good. The little touches with all the radio broadcast were nice little details...and the VO imo were great. though short the single player was ok. online is awesome...untill the hackers ruin it...



"Tell me why does it have to be so hard

to let go when it?s your final day

...When death is on it's way"

still haven't played enough to say, i'm just at the begin, but i don't think the design is that bad

gameplay is a straight 10...



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
