Pros & Cons

  • highly customizable controls, allows gamers to customise, great multiplayer, terrific online multiplayer modes, nice score
  • monotonous levels, some bland design choices, story is weak, feeble enemy ai, and gameplay

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,…

  1. 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

  2. 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

    If you're into your first-person shooters on the PS3/360, you'll find The Conduit quite basic and over-hyped, but the point is that it's been made purely for Wii owners and taken on these terms, The Conduit scores highly on looks and game-play. It's proof that the Wii can compete with the big boys when it wants to. Read more

  4. The Conduit Wii Review

    Reviewer: GameOn
    30 June 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

    this is a must have game for the wii and it easily ourides halo on the 360. the only problem with this game is that the enemies all look the same and there isnt any variety. a must buy for any FPS players on the Wii Read more

  2. "Best Shooting Game For The Wii"

    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

    Controls very responsive. Good move and shoot gameplay ( if slightly old school). Graphics reminded me of timeplitters slightly cartoon like. Only real complain is that save points are two far apart at times. Read more

  4. Give it a little more credit, GI

    I strongly believe that The Conduit deserves way more credit than GI gives it here. For real, you're going to compare the graphics of a Wii game to Modern Warfare? That's a low blow. You just can't do that! With that out of the way, I'll get on with the review. Concept Basically, create a great hardcore Wii game. And High Voltage Software succeeds. Graphics The graphics are the best that I've seen on the Wii. I would say even better than Super Mario Galaxy, basically... Read more
