It isn't going to blow you away with much new and it isn't going to revolutionize the FPS genre in one fell swoop. What it does have a chance of doing is proving that solid gameplay, good graphics and intelligent design have a place on the Wii and that if you give it a try you're going to have fun. There are flaws here for sure, but The Conduit is simply a good game on the Wii, so I suggest getting it and having fun".
There’s a consensus about Splatoon 1 that cannot be disputed: motion controls are the way to play. The Wii U Gamepad had its many problems on the system as a whole, but along with the way in which the touch screen was implemented in the first game like I mentioned in my last piece, using the Gamepad’s gyroscope was deemed a superior way to play compared to traditional joystick control.
Rustyshell.com: The Conduit strived to be the quality FPS experience Wii owners were missing out on, with quality graphics and a robust online multiplayer component.
Hardcore Gamer: The Conduit was an interesting first-person shooter that sneaked its way onto the Wii amid a deluge of shovelware and "family" games.
...because they mention the Shrieker.
