The Conduit...

Posted by RedBartlettLock - June 24th, 2009


So I have the game! I picked it up this morning and I'll give you a little review.

-Controls

The best controls I've ever wittnessed hands down. The game is legendary for its customization. You can size, stretch, place, and even tint your HUDS, you can chnage the deadzone, you can change the running speed, sensor sensitivity, Wiimote thrust sensitivity, anything... you name it.

-Graphics

Obviously, they own just about every other Wii game. However, they do have SOME drawbacks. The graphics online aren't near as good as the campaign graphics and sometimes they do appear fuzzy.... well, the backgrounds do at least. The weapon graphics and charecter graphics are shockingly beautiful. The hands, for example, show every slight detail. From veins, to bone structure. The shading affects are also amazing. There's also some awesome blur affects. Like when you reload your weapon, since you aren't focused on your surrondings at the time, they blur the background as you reload, which just adds to the realism. There's also a really cool blur affect whenever you aim at an enemy through your scope. Everything but that particular enemy goes blur. Creating a sort of focus on that enemy. The last effect is when you start to run out of health. The screen starts to get pale, and the music stops and you hear the sounds of your heartbeat and heavy breathing. This adds a lot of dramatic affect.

-Gameplay

The gameplay IS run-n-gun type gameplay. That out of the way, it is pretty predictable, although it is very suspenseful. You will often get many enemies thrown at you adding you to push your skills to the limit.

-Weapon selection

It doesn't dissapoint. All weapons are uinque in their own way.

-Multiplayer

Although the graphics are toned down a bit, it is still VERY addicting! It's very intense, I'll tell you that right now. Especially with a full game (12 players). It is compatible with Wiispeak (friends only unless you're in the lobby), and it has 13 game modes, and 9 maps. You'll find yourselves playing online for many hours. The games NEVER skip. At the worst, the slow down the frames per second.

IGN gave this game a 8.6. BUT the press averages give it a 9.2. I believe the game should get probably a 9. It's a great game. Not revolutionary (besides its controls), but is a lot of fun!

So should you get it? Well, considering that there's Monster Hunter 3, Red Steel 2, Metroid Prime: Other M, and lots of other great expected Wii titles, I'd wait and see how those ones are before making the final decision to go get it.
