Pros & Cons

  • nippy plot pacing, appreciated addition, customizable controls, high level of customization, audio is well done
  • a little short, no splitscreen play, hum plot, ugly visuals, screen multiplayer

My name is Michael Ford. We are under attack. It started with a bizarre weather system and increased water levels around Washington D.C. Then “The Bug” hit town, quarantining many in their homes with flu-like symptoms. In August, a terrorist attack on the Washington Monument ratcheted up the tension and when presidential candidate Harriet Reimer was recently assassinated, the situation finally reached breaking point… Become Michael Ford, a former secret service agent,…

    A generic, below-average first-person shooter experience marginally cushioned by robust online options. Read more

  2. The Conduit [Wii] Review

    Reviewer: WiiDS.co.uk
    17 July 2009

    The Conduit The Conduit is a first-person shooter from High Voltage Software . Ever since its announcement, it has had gamers all excited about its existence and the things it will offer. Being an original FPS developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, the hopes were for all the critics to be silenced. The critics that said there were no mature games or no decent FPS games. How well does it measure up to the expectations brought on from all the hype? Read more

  3. Aliens invade Wii

    Reviewer: GAME Group plc
    30 August 2009

    The single player mode is, in truth, a little short, but the online, multi-player options more than makes up for it. There are many interesting maps, approaching 20 weapons and an enjoyable selection of deathmatch and team-play play modes on offer, including the interesting Bounty Hunter, which obliges you to hunt down a specific target. The multi-player option can handle up to 12 gamers and, what's more, also allows you to also engage in live conversations using Wii... Read more

  4. The Conduit Wii Review

    Reviewer: GameOn
    5 July 2009

    The Conduit, developed by High Voltage Software, is being seen as a saving grace of sorts for the Wii - giving hardcore gamers a first person shooter worthy of praise. Call of Duty and Medal of Honour came up short with their Wii versions of the popular first person shooters, but is The Conduit worth the hype it's been receiving, or is it another piece of shovelware?

    The makers of The Conduit rightly felt that PS3/Xbox 360 owners were getting a better deal than Wii owners when it came to first-person shooters. Their solution? A first-person shooter designed just for the Wii. Read more

  1. Review: The Conduit (Wii)

    Reviewer: Thomson McCormack, GAME Group plc

    This game is fun and intuative. One problem. This is the only game for the wii thats makes me feel physicaly nauseous after playing it for ten minutes. I think it has something to do with the screen going in and out of focus whenever you reload. Still worth buying. Take some sea-sick tablets to the gaming chair with you. Read more

    Defently think this is one of the best games for the Wii. And defently the best shooting game for it. Has a great storyline and single player mode. The online multiplayer is great and you can play with just your friends if you want. The controls are great, point with the Wiimote, B to shoot, the numchuck Z to lock on to a foe, the stick to move around. Must have for anyone who owns a Wii. Read more

    decent game, very true to what they say about it- levels are hard but doable, also first person shooter aspect is excellent with good graphics. The only bad part is even if you beat the game, and want to play a certain level, you have to wait for the movie narrative of that level to finish instead of just being able to play it... besides that, good game overall.

    Great game that was on sale, decided to pick it up. Was going to pick it up eventually and then a deal popped up and I could not resist. Decent Single Player and fun. I haven't played against other people online yet and the game seems short. Read more
