The Conduit is a thoroughly mediocre game that got increased attention purely because of the console it was on. Quality 3rd party support for the Wii was notoriously shaky, so the sight of an original FPS for the Wii that wasn’t total shovelware or a stripped down port caused the gaming press to give it undue attention, with some even calling it the best Wii game of E3 2008, though given the nature of that year’s show it might as well have been running unopposed. The Conduit would’ve been entirely ignored had it come out on any other platform, and it honestly deserved to be. It’s like a console version of one of those Gameloft mobile shooters. It plays like dollar store Halo.
