Conduit is just another generic Wii FPS.

I really, really wanted to like Conduit. The aiming is handled very well and is very precise, and some moments are flat out cool, but the game had to many flaws for me to really like it.

Let's get this out of the way right now: the story is awful. It revolves around some alien organization trying to take over the world and some spec ops soldier guy trying to save Earth. There is no sense of build up to some spectacular ending, and when you reach said ending, you kill dudes, watch a cutscene, watch the credits, you're done.

Then there's the AI. Man, those enemies are dumb. I saw an enemy soldier knock over an explosive barrel, hide behind it, then shoot it, blowing up the barrel and himself in the process. I hope to see far better AI in the sequel.

The All-Seeing Eye is lame as well. The idea is cool, but is poorly implemented, thus becoming no more than another annoying gimmick. It is used to alert you to hidden items and switches, and lights up and makes an annoying beeping sound when you're close. Then the beeping speeds up, and you run around like an idiot for 5 minutes searching for another useless item. Fun.

However, the game does have some good things. The motion control used to aim and turn is flawless. No other FPS has had aiming controls this smooth(except maybe Red Steel 2). The graphics are also fully customizable, so you can change every control if you want.

There are also a few cool moments, but those are few and far in between. If the good motion control was attached to a good game with nice graphics, an interesting story, and smart AI, I might say this was the best Wii game I've played in a long time. However, the game is just not good enough to deserve such high praise.

Pros: Amazingly smooth motion controls, a few really cool gameplay moments, fun multiplayer

Cons: Just about every other aspect of the game is broken.
