Conduit Reviewed

Conduit Reviewed

The Conduit has been highly anticipated and even hyped. Fortunately it wasn't over hyped to the extent of Smash Brothers on the wii, which started revealing details on a website almost a year before it hit Australian shores.

When reading the review I am under the impression it has been compared to shooters on other consoles. The XBox360 and PS3 have an embarrassing riches of shooters and, in comparison, The Conduit doesn't offer anything revolutionary (apart from a control scheme) or unique.

However on the wii, shooters are as rare as a trophy in Adelaide United's cabinet. So this is a welcome addition.

The online mode, the bit that will keep you coming back for months on end, does experience lag but also has its good moments. When you add wiispeak to the mix it is predicted to be the 'must buy' component of The Conduit.

As a stand alone solo mode it offers 8 hours and a bit of replay for perfectionists. Thankfully the online mode - and variety of modes - will keep you coming back.

I'm buying it

From the article...

The Conduit is not a revolutionary first-person shooter, but it's a damned good one, particularly if you only own a Wii



That's all I needed to hear.

I hope one of the modes is one shot kills.

Nothing more annoying than shooting someone 20 or 30 times only to have them run off, refill, and get you with a cheap weapon.

Golden Eye had a license to kill mode. Perfect Dark also had a mode for one hit kills. Even SSBB had super sudden death.

If this game has a one shot kill mode - timed or otherwise - I dont think I'd be able to stop playing it.

I imagine it's going to be more like Perfect Dark. I mean, there's no way to tell. It looks as much like Halo as it does Perfect Dark...

the way to fix lag is to have a country filter like call of duty: world at war or mario kart wii.

that way we can play games with other australians and have little to no lag.

every game should have country filters. unfortunately most developers dont care about australia and we often get screwed.

with all the effort high voltage put into this game they should have a country filter. i doubt there is though.

maybe we should contact them. the grinder is looking awesome (like left 4 dead) and if you play to play 4 player co op online you will really need to be playing with ppl near you.
