this review is OBVIOUSLY biased. he doesn't even try to address this game's several flaws, and tries to push it as far as possible. even call of duty: world at war on wii totally beats this game! i'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that the editors' names ended up in the credits. not only is the game not original, but the multiplayer is full of bugs and hackers, and there isn't much to do and not much incentive to play online. i would give it a 6.9 or something.
@nerftendo005 this review was made before the hackers and glitchers. Didnt you notice that all the people online were people from the the company tht made it? its not like right away when the game came out people would hack and cheat.
@Simok1234 Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no real incentive to play online, other than to increase your XP level. Sure, shooting other players and racking up kills is fun for a while, but there are several problems, including a lock-on system, that bring the experience down. My problem is, he's treating this game as if it was somewhat exceptional, just because it's great compared to most FPS's on Wii. Just because it's better than most Wii FPS's doesn't make it a good game.
this game is the best fps on the wii, although that aint saying much. it may not be as good as halo and killzone, but its still a preity decent fps. it has a decent story line, and the control the game gives you is really unique and lets you play the game you want, so you will enjoy it. playing online is fun too with a decent variety of maps and modes, the 2 main problems of the game is that the campaign is ok but not great, and online can sometimes be a bit iffy, but 70% of the time its fine.
well I think High Voltage was aiming to give Wii owners a Halo like game I mean The Conduit is something like Halo and The Grinder is going to be like Left 4 Dead with the online 4 players co-op and dual wield guns so High Voltage is going to give Wii owners a 360 experience differently but it still is great
red steel gave me motion sickness because of how the control's was, it was to hard to balance the wiimote.. but this game i couldn't believe how good the control's was
lol i never knew you can change the controls.....now i know why it got a 10...now im gonna put the controls like world at war because im to used to them....:)
I hope this game turns out to be really successful so that Wii owners can start to see more quality games for the system. Also I'd like to see what other genres this engine can be used for, maybe some RPGs, racing, or platformers?
8.6 is a great score considering the conduit was developed to showcase the Quantum3 graphics engine. I hope now other developers will invest in High Voltage and use the engine in many future titles just like Epic's Unreal engine is used in many 360/PS3 titles.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a great FPS-game for the Wii, and it was released 2 years ago. So he's abit wrong about that "been-waiting-for-three-years"-thingie.
thats why people who like FPS's alot have 360's. Im not favoring a console im just saying most wii owners wont care if this is good or not because, they have a wii for a different reason.
Yeah your probably right, but the wii's controls are perfect for FPS's, no (third party) developer took advantage of that, until now... the conduit looks awesome!!!
@Hexamethylenetetrami i bought it a while ago, and i REALLY enjoyed it. i finished prime 1, i'm practically done with prime 2, and i already bought & completed prime 3 a while before then. i may play prime 3 again because i haven't played through it yet on the hypermode difficulty.
This game looks incredibly fun, and I can't wait to get it. I reserved it along with Modern Warfare 2 when I bought a couple of games at my GameStop about a month ago. Just wondering, Urafudgehead, is this game as fun as it looks? I'm not expecting something incredibly revolutionary or anything, just something that's incredibly fun and worth it in the long run.
Depends on your area. For most places, it will not be there until the 24th. Sources: Sega of America's official youtube channel, and 4 local gamestops.
i e-mailed asking high-voltage and they said almost all the east might get it by then like maybe half of the stores so just check your local gamestop at 7 if u live around new york
sadly, my dad won't let me buy this with my own money I saved up for chores and such, he says I should wait until the price lowers, there's a problem with that: good Wii games never discount!
*there arnt to many for wii*.. dude THERE ARE NONE FOR THE WII.. djeez this review pisses me off actualy even tho i said its a good review..it is but cmon this retard says some of the lamest things! *cuts wrist*
and lol at the redsteel diss :D.. redsteel looks pritty amazing to me ..second one ofcouse.
those reviewers dont get the point that concept art..models design shit could cost more then the full game itselve lol.. and he's saying you see the same enemys over and over again..get real man games these days cost more then your life.
and tbh doesnt everygame out there have the same god damn enemys from beginning till end ..man even in real life you wouldnt see different enemys in a war they all wear the same shit.
bah this game gets a 10/10 from me pure cause hvs is doing something usefull
wel... good review but ..he should have let that multiplayer part where he lagged out of it ..it has to do with your connection not with the game as he said.. cant realy see the point in adding that :S poeple that dont owne a wii will be like hahaha have fun lagging with your shity conduit game :p move to europe and you wont lag..NABS !
True. And for some reason, he seemed like a bit hyped and sarcastic. There are plenty of aliens vs humans games out there, but they rarely mention that on other reviews... not they did. I wonder why.
"*cough* Red Steel" nice punch line. Anyways, overall, a decent review for a game that has now prequels and stuff. We still need to get the game, but the wait is officially over. Time to put all of my energy into supporting The Grinder.
How bout walmart? cause i asked a guy there a couple hours ago and he said they might have it 2morrow afternoon. Do you think he could be right? btw i live on long island if that helps
Well you could try. I doubt it though. The special edition version is only available through gamestop though. So I'm waiting until Wednesday along with all other special editioners.
