As you might have read in Will's preview The Conduit looks amazing. Yet, even after reading through Will's piece GameSpy was't prepared for just how great the graphics actually looked. In a hands-on demo set in the tight corridors of some kind of super-secret government installation, they found the look and feel to be similar to the N64 classic shooter GoldenEye 007, only much more visually polished. Now, they don't make that comparison lightly, but The Conduit has continued to impress them every time they have seen it.
There’s a consensus about Splatoon 1 that cannot be disputed: motion controls are the way to play. The Wii U Gamepad had its many problems on the system as a whole, but along with the way in which the touch screen was implemented in the first game like I mentioned in my last piece, using the Gamepad’s gyroscope was deemed a superior way to play compared to traditional joystick control.
Rustyshell.com: The Conduit strived to be the quality FPS experience Wii owners were missing out on, with quality graphics and a robust online multiplayer component.
Hardcore Gamer: The Conduit was an interesting first-person shooter that sneaked its way onto the Wii amid a deluge of shovelware and "family" games.
A lot of people are saying that they get a Goldeneye 007 vibe from this game. That's a pretty good compliment.
