« Best Wii FPS »

I rented this game first before I decided to buy it and after a few hours of gameplay, I deemed the game as being great. The only drawback I found with the game is that you can't use the Wii Zapper. Besides this, the game is a great FPS.

« a must buy game for wii »

the conduit is an incredible first person shooter game for the wii. the storyline is very unique in some ways. it is all about a man ,named Michel Ford, who was pulled into a government conspiricy involving a secret group known as the trust, and a war between humans and an alian force called the drudge. this game features a new system for the wii, and has graphics close to the xbox or the playstation 3.

the weapons are also very unique. there are three main groups of guns. the human, trust, and drudge weapon set. the human weapon set is very simple. it includes a sniper rifle, bazooka, submachine gun, and a very cool pistol. the trust's weapons are more advanced. such as a laser gun, a type of grenade launcher, and a very large weapon called the carbonizer. the drudge guns are also unique. if you are playing the game and stay still you will notice that the guns are alive. or they seem alive. that set includes a gun that shoots a glob of biomass, a gun that shoots spheres that are controlled by the shooter, and a pistol that can richochet off of the wall.

the online multiplayer on The Conduit is probibly the best that i have ever seen. the friend system is easy to use, and there is very little lag. i rate the multiplayer along with games like Modern Warfare. the only problem with the multiplayer is the fact that it is unprotected when it comes to hackers. so if you do play online you may see some players who can jump out of the map, or who can kill you with one shot, even people who just cant die. however there is a way to even the match up.

if you see someone with an automatic shotgun, pistol, or even bazooka, do not be worried. what you need to do to is you need to get three weapons in front of an ammo cache. one in youre hand, one in youre inventory, and one on the ground. so it could be like this. pistol in youre hand, bazooka in youre inventory, and a machine gun on the ground. the ammo chache has to be the same type as the one on the ground. so if it is the human machine gun on the ground, you have to be standing in front of a human ammo box. the way to get the gun in front of the ammo box is difficult. accualy there are two ways. one is to die in front of the box with the machine gun in hand and go back there before someone else picks it up. the other is to drag and drop. that involves switching guns with a gun on the ground while moving closer to the ammo box. also, the gun on the ground and the gun in youre inventory are the guns that are being morphed. the ideal combo is a bazooka in youre inventory, a machine gun on the ground and any gun in youre hand. once you get the three guns in front of the correct ammo cache you must push the correct buttons at the right time. you need to push the minus button and the right button at the same time. then, while still holding down minus and right, push the A button. you should also know that the way this glitch works is that the gun in youre inventory gets the ammo ammount and speed of the gun on the ground.
if done correctly you should have an automatic bazooka. well, actualy that depends on the guns you have. however do not do that when you are using a chargable gun.

over all i give the conduit a 10 out of 10. i believe that this is a must have game for all wii owners.

« Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? »

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

« DO NOT BUY THIS GAME...NO... NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! »

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

It is bad on so many levels. I have tried to like it. I really want to have a good FPS on Wii. This game is not it. You will be mad the whole time. There are so so many bad design decisions. So many bad development decisions. The game is so utterly generic and pathetic. The weapons are unbalanced. The enemies are unbalanced. The entire game is unbalanced. The game play elements are horrible. Terrible save points. Terrible graphics. The game crashes all the time. I have tried 3 times to make it through the game and have yet to complete it with out something preventing me from finishing the game.

The developers should be drug out on the street and hung. I should have known this game would suck when I seen Sega on the front cover. All talent left that company years and years ago. When will the zombie corpse of the once great Sega company just die? Just sell the rights to Sonic and lets all move on.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME...

PS. If you really want a good shooter try 'Metroid Prime Trilogy' the best collection of games I have played on the Wii.

« Great game for wii »

This game is TOTALLY worth buying, with a single player campaign and up to 12 player multiplayer, it defidently makes the best shooter on the wii...

pros:
1. Controls are great, fully customizable
2. great graphics for wii
3. pretty fun gameplay, will defidently keep you on your toes.
4. great multiplayer

cons:
1. basically all you do in the campaign is run and shoot aliens or secret agents wich, for me, is fine but it can get a bit boring
2. a few little glitches, not many though

overall a GREAT game totally worth the money.
