Gamer Limit writes: "The Conduit is a courageous effort at a next-generation FPS on a console that's technologically underpowered. The game may very well be a dream come true for those who only own a Wii. However, there are better games to be played on the console, and much better FPSs to be played on other platforms. To quote Rob Schneider, "You Con-duit!," but you shouldn't".
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.
So glad I think for myself and didn't listen to these nonsensical reviews. I'm having a blast with the game. Graphically inferior but control superior.
If the score is below 7 typically they whine about how they just couldn't get the controls. Guess next gen controls aren't for everyone.
it appears he's knocking the game just because it dares to try and pull off what the HD consoles games are doing graphically. Seriously, is this a review? How annoying.
I was very happy with the graphics. But what's been far more telling is the reactions this game has been getting from my friends who haven't seen and played it over the past year. They are thoroughly Wow'ed that this is a Wii game.
All of that being said, it's all about the controls. Anyone who thinks they suck is either lazy, didn't play it, or a thumb monkey who can't fathom anything outside of analog sticks. F all of these haters and their "Reviews".
...of a game getting slammed, because the dev hyped the hell out of their game. All of the talk about "we can pull off 360's graphics on the Wii" was 100% BS and bogus hype-talk. If they'd never said anything, this game would have been rated MUCH higher, across the board.
Moral: Devs need to STFU, and make the best game possible with the hardware you're dev'ing for; the rest will work itself out.
ouch 5/10
