Forums - Nintendo - Conduit - metascore of 74!

If I were a reviewer I would give it an 8.5.

It has it's shortcomings but what it does well it does really, really well. The controls are picture perfect and the online is extremely addictive and not "gimped" like some people would like to suggest.

The reasons I list here are probably the reasons why reviews are harsh on Conduit. Its not some Conduit conspiracy. The game got too hyped and expectations were not met. Conduit 2 will be better but ....it will be a while till it comes.

Right now I switch back and forth between Conduit MP and COD WAW Wii MP. Conduit is fun for a bit but my taste gravitates towards WAW.

- Better maps (better designs)

Opinion (Some of us like the old school feeling maps)

- Upgradeable guns

- Upgradeable guns

- Unlockable guns

- Perks 

- Killstreak rewards

Opinion

These options make the guns unbalanced and gives an advantage to those who have played longer... Fail

- Ranking system actual rewards you for getting higher Ranks

See my last point.  Also, if you see someone at a Gold Triangle (Level 14+ I think) then you know they have put a ton of time into the online...  Is having people know that you aren't a noob not reward enough?

If all you people complaining, count the Wii as current gen... why cant its games be compared to those on PS360?

Because if we did that, PS360 games with terrible gameplay & only pretty graphics would get terrible reviews.  If Devil May Cry were on the Wii, it would have an average rating of 5 for being completely dated when compared to games like No More Heroes.

@ gamerace

I have played Conduit. Beat the SP and am playing MP. Here is what Conduit has over WAW Wii:

-Controls (probably better than MOHH2)
-Number of players online
- Wii Speak


COD WAW Wii

- Better maps (better designs)
- Getting online is quick and easy (Conduit takes FOREVER just to find and match peeps)
- Upgradeable guns
- Unlockable guns
- Perks
- Killstreak rewards
- better bullet detection
- Ranking system actual rewards you for getting higher Ranks
- leaderboards
- challenges
- better radar system (COnduit - characters will flicker around the map sometimes)

Conduit also offers a lot more online modes than CoDWaW

Better (much more varied) weapon selection (being ww2 ties CoD hands in this regard)

And no damn dogs!  Lol.

But you're totally right.   Conduit's design is archaic by todays standards and CoDWaW online is superior in ease of getting into a game.

Both are solid FPS on Wii.   I recommend both to anyone wanting a FPS on Wii.   Personally I perfer Conduit over CoDWaW.   Couldn't even get into the sp mode on CoDWaW, neither could my son but he loves the online.

Yes, but what you consider archaic design was done on purpose.  HVS confirmed that they took alot of influence from classics like Goldeneye/Perfect Dark.  I imagine this is an attempt to appeal to a wider audience since there are probably a ton of Nintendo gamers who used to love those games but haven't played many FPS since...

Personally, I find the design fresh since it isn't what is being done in most of todays FPSs...

its funny how wii fanboys think gameplay on PS360 games sucks even though multiplatforms usually score better on PS360...

No, DMC4 had good gameplay, really improved and you notice when you go back to 3 and older ones, I havent played NMH but it doesnt seem that great. Also, not because you dont move your arms it means the game has bad gameplay.

you can say whatever shit you want about user reviews, but the only fanboys here are the reviewers that will never admit that one great 3rd party Wii exclusive exist

Like Little King story?

Actually... it has quite good gameplay, you should have had... "terrible gameplay imo".

As for NMH, its pretty good.
