When I got this game in the mail I was so excited, and I just popped it into my Wii, which before now, has only been used for party games that are fun but far from the hardcore games I play on a regular base.
When I first read the negative reviews of this game, I became worried that it wouldn't be as enjoyable as expected. I was half right. This game is very fun and the storyline, from what I've seen, is rather good and new for the Wii. The game play is great and very enjoyable. The graphics are really good for the Wii, but other gamers used to cutting edge graphics on the XBox and PlayStation, may be disappointed. Here's the verdict;

Pros: Awesome gameplay, decent graphics, good voice-acting and characters, storyline is cool. Sick weapons and enemies and environments are nice.

Cons: Camera is hard to control, control scheme is odd and moving can be difficult at times.

It kills me to criticize this game because the developers worked so hard on it, but it definitely has its flaws; not that its not fun, rather the opposite. I will likely be buying it, but I recommend a rent first, and then make your own verdict.

Yes I have played Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Mario galaxy. but none of those come even close in comparison to The Conduit.

Story - 8.9: I haven't finished the game but the story is great, not like some other games where it is just an excuse to kill people. The only reason the score for story isn't higher is that I have only played the campaign for about 3 or so hours and the game says I am 44% done... But in the game you get this device called the ASE (All Seeing Eye) and it can be used to find hidden writtings on the wall, and data disks that give you unlockable content and I havent looked for those yet so that would add a few hours.

Gameplay - 10: Awesome gameplay, very hard to put down and stop playing. What really makes it great is the ability to completely tweak the controls however you like which makes it much easier to play then some other Wii games. Also plenty of different guns that have drastically different -and awesome- abilities.

Online multiplayer - 10: Best online multiplayer game for the Wii, without a doubt. Could be easily compaired with The Great Halo for the XBox 360 (yes I do own an XBox, anybody that doesn't, I feel very sad for you). There are probably 15 or so different types of online matches, that include things from a reagular team deathmatch to other special types of games only for The Conduit, like Bounty Hunter, and ASE Football.

Graphics - 9.4: Great graphics, maybe not the best, but still great (for the Wii) If this was a XBox 360 game it would get a 6, but we ("we" being defined as anyone who has ever played a 360) all know how far behind the Wii is grapically, so I will give it a break.

Overall, this is definitely much better than any of the three games stated at the top of my review, not to mention any other Wii game created by Man, or monkey kind.
