There's nothing wrong with The Conduit

A fun game, with an interesting story and it definitely has cool controls. I liked the creative weapons, and great looking enemies. And I've been playing online since I bought the game. I own all syst… Read more

A great Wii FPS, a good FPS in general!

Coming from someone who's played all the "quality" FPSs like CoD 4 and Halo 3, I really like this game. Sure, it's generic, but so were the last two said games. So, really, the game is just fun to pla… Read more

If you have looked at the story deep enough, found all the radios, found all the writings. You will have a very deep game. Just in case you were to dense to find everything, here's the main conspiricy… Read more

great shooter, with great controls, graphics and online

The game is simply great, the controls are a straight 10, graphics are more than enough as well, one of the best for Wii! Online is really great. I also like enemy design, the variety of weapons. Gene… Read more

Maybe this will be a CONDUIT for more Wii shooters. Doh ho ho.

The Conduit is a bit of a hard game to pin. Sure, its an FPS, so you have a large library of games to compare it to, but there's also something fundamentally different about The Conduit. The most obvi… Read more

Good Game

This is a good game. I don't about the other games when I play games. This is a good one. If you play FPS's all the time this might not be for you but it is good for people who just play one once in a… Read more

The Conduit is fun, but FPS' have moved on.

The Conduit has been put in quite a tough position. It's not only been pinned as "the savior for core gamers on Wii", but it's also been looked at by numerous publishers to see whether or not there's… Read more

I hope this isn't the definition of "High Quality Wii games."

The complete customizable controls and almost decent online multiplayer might add some replay value, but the short campaign and less than expected technical achievements make this game fall shorter th… Read more

A harcore game for the wii? Surely you must be joking.

Nintendo is having problems with it's hardcore audience right now. But just when it seems they are closing the door on us The conduit opens the door guns blazing. Today I picked up The Conduit and I c… Read more
