The Conduit Wii

Review

The Conduit proves that the Wii can produce FPS play mechanics that are easy to control, however the lack of a cohesive story coupled with bland environments ultimately lets it down.
 
7.0 / 10
"Good controls, average game."

The Conduit

It seems that 2009 has dragged Nintendo's Wii console into the realm of the hardcore, with such rated titles as MadWorld and House of the Dead: Overkill scaring twentysomething personal trainers and Olivia Newton-John devotees everywhere.

Indeed, having seen Wii Fit and Wii Sports, one could be forgiven for assuming that the Wii comes bundled with a copy of Cosmo and a coupon for half off your next Dark Mocha Frappuccino at Starbucks Ponsonby Road. Perhaps that was the case at launch, but you can no longer reliably purchase Bridget Jones Diary and a Wii title from the same store without some careful scrutiny of the latter for content likely to give you nightmares.

The latest title to push the limits of respectability on the Wii is The Conduit.
