The Conduit
Any good?
Re: The Conduit
Yes, I always recommend routing cables through The Conduit, instead of throwing them down on The Floor where they snatch dirt and get between the wheels of office chairs.

Re: The Conduit
Apparently it's a bit like Perfect Dark (1)? Sounds good to me, I think I'll give this a shot soon...

Re: The Conduit
funny i just saw and advertisement for this for the first time about 30 mins ago at lunch. It looked iteresting until I saw it was on the wii. I don't have access to a wii so I'll have to pass. I still need to check some vids out though.

Got slated in Edge. 4/10 review. Below mediocre, apparently - uninspired visual and level design, highly repetitive.
It's a shame that the Wii has so few - no? - decent FPS titles that this'll probably sell regardless of its quality.

Re: The Conduit
The multiplayer is pretty nice, the singleplayer is rather boring, nothing special.
Re: The Conduit
It didn't get great reviews, but IGN said it has the best controls of any FPS ever.

Re: The Conduit
Well, I stopped letting Edge influence my purchasing decisions many years ago... like 99% of all pro reviewers, their tastes are simply not retro enough.E. Randy Dupre wrote:Got slated in Edge.

Re: The Conduit
OK I played a couple of hours of this, and in general I'd say it most resembles Xbox/PS2 games like 'Timesplitters 2' and 'Area 51' (the last gen fps one). If you found those entertaining and are dexterous enough to handle relatively complex Wii controls, then definitely give this a try you might really like it... but if you hated the aforementioned games then you'll probably also dislike this for similar reasons.

Re: The Conduit
I picked this one up. The setting is cute (cheeseball govt conspiracy stuff is usually amusing) and the game controls pretty well most of the time. Not groundbreaking but fun.
