WiiBlog: “So, the next title we have to look forward to for delivering the next great FPS is The Conduit. The game has been under the watchful eye of gamers for awhile now. Most of the attention is being steered towards High Voltage’s Quantum 3 which is being heralded for pushing the Wii to its’ limits.”

IGN: “The Conduit looks better than the majority of Wii games on the market thanks to High Voltage’s dedication to taking advantage of the hardware — a novelty, unfortunately, since few other third-parties bother. The game sports a very crisp, clean look complemented by a host of graphical effects, from dramatic real-time lighting and particles to bump- and normal-mapped objects. Characters animate fluidly.”

1UP.com: “The Conduit also demonstrated a desire to distance itself from being labeled a traditional fire-and-forget Doom-style shooter through its use of an in-game piece of alien technology called the All-Seeing Eye (ASE). In one segment, the device was used to detect potentially dangerous land mines. In another, the ASE was used to solve an otherwise invisible puzzle on a nondescript wall to gain access to other areas of the game.”
