The Conduit is basically what you would expect. A good attempt at making a decent sci-fi shooter for the Wii. And for the most part, it succeeds. The Conduit's story is a stereotypical sci-fi one. The FBI has turned bad, aliens are attacking, and you are the only one that can stop them. That's all you need to know. Gameplay is fairly simple as well. You aim with the Wii Remote, fire with the B button, throw grenades with the nunchuck etc. The graphics are pretty good, especially for a Wii game, and sound effects are nice. While the story won't last you long, the multiplayer could keep a shooter fan coming back again and again. It has tons of modes, including the unique and fun, where every player only has one target and you only kill him/her or your own hunter or you lose points. But don't worry of others, including the basic team and free-for-all fights with up to 12 players. So if you are a Wii owner and in need of a shooter, The Conduit is not a bad idea.-Mitch
