This is - no probablys about it - IS the worst Wii slash any game I have played. What did I say was the worst for 2009? Well forget it, it's this. This game is complete fucking dogshit. You can't control for shit, you can't aim for shit, you can't shoot for shit. I'm playing on "Elevated" which is the middle difficulty option and I am getting slaughtered in 3 shots. There is a bit at the end of the third(?) level, where you storm the lincoln memorial and aliens come NONSTOP with NO health around (you gain the regen ability in the next level). Majority of my deaths were caused because my waggle would not co-operate correctly and I couldn't move around, as turning takes AGES.
Enemies CONSTANTLY RESPAWN and WILL NOT STOP until you destroy the portals. Problem is there is usually WAY too many and you are overwhelmed by the bulletsponges to even get a chance to get to a portal. There are also eggsacs that respawn enemies, but are easier to handle. What's extremely fucking frustrating are these rolling red aliens that explode nearby and can take off half of your health in one go. There's also these "invisible" mines that you have to blow up with your stupid eyeball thing.
The gun selection sucks, the whole eyeball thing isn't really bad, it's rarely used (aside from the stupid mines), and I am currently on Level 5 of 9 (GOTTA SAVE THE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!).
There's no point to try online as the game is hacked to shit so anyone can cheat the high heaven.
Deadly Creatures > The Conduit
-
Weren't people saying this was better than BioShock and Modern Warfare?
-
Throwing grenades is a clusterfuck as well. You have to shake the nunchuk, easy enough - but by impulse, your wiimote hand will twitch to the side or somewhere, so you're suddenly staring at the ground and the grenade you just dropped.
Oops
-
:lol
-
how is it hacked
i am genuinely curious
are they using the HDD loader and trainers and such
-
The game, when taken apart (ISO, etc) has a config file you can edit directly to alter different things, access debug menus, etc.

-
wow, that HDD loader is pretty much going to wreck any online Wii game from now on, i guess
-
It doesnt have to specifically be HDD, you can still load DVD-Rs with a backup loader
-
lol nintendo
-
I thought this was the Wii GOTY...oh wait, it's the only game there is this year.
-
I'm glad I'm poor right now because I probably would have ended up buying this garbage on day one.
-
EVERYTHING IS SO SHINY
-
I looked it up because I knew he sounded familiar, but Kevin Sorbo is in this game :lol

Why are there so many videos like this? :lol
-
yeah, the game is crap. I did enjoy the first couple of levels because it was bad in a good way (mid-90s fps game design, terrible story and dialogue); then it just became bad in that Resistance 2 kind of way, but even worse than that game. Multiplayer was pretty fun, though. I mean, if I didn't have a countless number of much better fps games I could get into, I would probably play it.
How can it control poorly? I thought the wii was all super realistic and had true FPS control. What happened?
to be fair, the default control scheme is nigh unplayable
people praise the game for having really customizable controls, but when you have to work to find something comfortable, that's just ridiculous. I had to spend more time than should have to get it working, and even then the controls weren't even the best fps controls on the Wii. And I kinda like fps controls on the wii.

its a mix of bland design and really hideous art
-
Wow Borys, you're original
-

I suppose because it's a game.
On the Wii.
-
This is the first Wii game that has a MULTI-COLOUR DISK.
I can't believe you didn't mention that demi.
-
Multi-colored SHIT
-
I found a pic of the disc:

Conduit > Deadly Creatures.
-
The Conduit is garbage. It's like High Voltage decided to recycle their awful N64 FPS, Armorines, and slap it with a new coat of paint to a Wii fanbase dying for content.
-
You chose THIS over Excitebots? What a fucking moron.
The controls aren't that bad really. It just needs a screen lock button like Metroid Prime 3. Reading your description makes it sound like you have horrid motor skills.
: oh 180º turn is awesomesauce. EA needs to nag Criterion into making a Black for Wii already.

:lol horrid motor skills. son, i beat every call of duty on veteran, and we know call of duty has a rep for respawning enemies. the conduit is garbage. don't address me on skills.

Isn't this game selling pretty horribly so far? Can't see many future FPS on the system if this one tanks completely.
Then again, maybe one without aliens would do better.

It's in the top 20 at Amazon.com. Sales success confirmed. Now why isn't every FPS ever coming to the Wii with its superior controls?
-

I was playing Black again the other day and it wouldn't really make sense with Wii controls or even PC controls. Accuracy really doesn't matter. It's like Commando where you shoot in the general direction and that's enough.
but I agree that 180 turns are awesome. Dead Space would have been way better if they let you do a 180 spin.
-
demi is, in all honesty, probably the best gamer on the forum in terms of all-around genre skills. Calling him out and saying that his motor skills are flawed, versus a crappy Wii control scheme is :lol-tastic

Well just based on my experience there's nothing so wrong with Wii FPS controls that its broken. What I see is alot of people decrying the graduated turning box method without taking time to get used to it. His grenade comment is just way off too. I had grenades on + and I had no trouble aiming it, so I'm just wondering why he can't keep his hand still. The only thing the game needs for sure is a viewpoint lock like other Wii fps. Occassionaly I'd like to line up a shot without adjusting my viewpoint. Instead they opt for some dumb soft lock-on bullshit.
-
i kinda wanna copy/paste your review in the conduit gaf thread
-
Demi is an asshole because he wasn't wearing the Mario hat while playing The Conduit. Best gamer my FOOT.
Also, play Turok 2 next.
Someone is just GLAD I didn't buy BF1943... wouldn't want to put you at the bottom of the match leaderboards every time
-

doooo itttt :lol
-
Please tell me the special edition doesn't cost extra money.
-
The special edition is the same price... all it has is some gay artbook and some "exxxxlusive codes" but those of course are available to anyone. And the cover is all shiny.
-
Yeah that's why I asked. It looked pretty pathetic.

If you would I could piggy back off your success! SELFISH JERK
:heart
-
miss u
-
If you had a 360 I would buy bf1943 and play. It is a shame you chose the WRONG SIDE
-
i seriously have like nobody on my PSN friends list...just a few random stragglers that never go online nor want to play. i miss xfag live like you wouldn't believe
-
maybe you should just get a xbox then instead of doing your weird flip-flopping routine then?
-
WOW :lol
The 2nd to last level is HORRIBLE
-
One of the worst games I've played this gen.
A total waste of bandwith. And the game looks like shit too. I don't get the "good graphics" part.
-
WOW :lol
The 2nd to last level is HORRIBLE
Yeah, that's when it went from mildly enjoyable shit to total shit.
-
I finished it on "Elevated"
The last two levels are easily some of the worst designed I've ever played. COD4 Ferris Wheel has nothing on this. WOW. I am still in shock at how BAD the game is.
-
It's pretty sad that a homebrew port of Quake has better controls than this game.

Monkey War, a mini-game from the Super Monkey Ball Wii launch game, has better FPS controls than The Conduit. It has a lot of customization but none of it feels natural. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 or MP3 are still the best pointer fps controls.
-
I'll never understand how demi can play and even finish shitty games.
I'd rather replay a mediocre to good game instead of wasting 30 minutes with this trash.
-
Because I believe replaying games is a waste of time, when there is so much out there to be played.
-
So you don't have a backlog?
I could never waste time on a shitty game like The Conduit (let alone finish it) since there are so many better released games out there.
But hey, it's not my problem that you like to finish shitty games that waste your time.
-
Of course I have a backlog. Why would I replay games if I did?
-
The impression I get from someone who finishes The Conduit is that he just doesn't have any other games to play, or is a Wii-only owner.
-
Well it only took a day to beat, I've done worse for an achievement.
-
WoW isn't really a game though...
-
That's on PC... I dont really consider that a platform?
-
FFXI isn't really a game... see WoW
-
I've played those, Kosma. They're bad games.
-
Yeah because consoles don't have a mouse.
Super Nintendo did. :smug
-
I think that counts as a destroy... I knew I liked you Yeti
-
Sounds like someone is getting a little frustrated at this harsh dose of reality... time for another vacation :smug

You beat that on Veterna? :bow
I died dozens of times on normal there. Even after the Big Bird has landed :'(
I beat it on Veteran too. It was pretty hard/annoying

Ahahahahaha

That is the best review I've ever read
-
Turok 2 is the only game I have ever traded in.
What a disappointing shitfest.
-
Playing FPSes on the N64 was shit regardless of game.

Perfect Dark > The Conduit
-
wtf you nooblords, turok 2 owned
-
turok 2 remains quite possibly the worst fps i have ever played
it didn't so much have level design as level diarrhea
-

I'm assuming you haven't played The Conduit then.

Count your blessings you never played that one PS2 game where Bin Laden was the end guy... fucking horrible.
-

Man, I was one of the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows that liked the game that came out. Apparently quite a few gaming magazines/sites also loved it since it received a 9 Edge, GameSpot and IGN so we weren't alone! I tried playing it again recently and it's pretty fucking awful. Seriously.
It was a game that was fun to play at the time, but aged very poorly. Nothing new or mind-blowing about that.
-
ok admittedly i haven't played the game since i was a child and blood shooting out of a dino-alien head while i activated all cheat codes MAY have swayed my opinion a bit
