Backstage to the Conduit

The game is very well-suited with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk because it was made to be a first-person shooter game wherein the gamer will experience the game like a real one. Unlike any other game controllers, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk are contoured perfectly to fit the gamers hand giving you a natural feel while navigating the controllers.

The game utilizes the Quantum 3 engine that is intended by High Voltage Software particularly for the Wii. IGN (Imagine Games Network) launched this game on April, 2008 and on October, 2008, Sega has become the games official publisher.

The controls of the game can be remapped depending on what you prefer but I did not find the need to change anything because you can use the game controllers simultaneously. To zoom in the image and move your character, you just have to use your Wii Remote and your Nunchuk to use or navigate the objects.

The storyline is all about an alien invading Washington, D.C. in the near future. As a result, the city is disturbed by several weird events thus causing a shocking local and national tension. Conduits are portal-like devices in which the alien race uses to set out their forces throughout the city. To protect the city, a secretive organization known as the Trust raise an army that will fight against the alien race identified as the Drudge.

The graphics for The Conduit are amazing considering the graphics engine on the Nintendo Wii. The developers attention to detail is quite magnificent and youll likely be surprised during game play. Developers at High Voltage Games really took the time to create interesting orb shaped weapons and polish their weapon effects. Im astonished myself that the sharp fine tuned graphics of The Conduit are coming from the Wii Console and not a Playstation 3. The graphics are really that good!

The Conduit will allow you to create a team because of its online feature and it also works on a Local Area Network (LAN). Both the online multiplayer and LAN multiplayer can support up to 16 players at the same time. You can also communicate with each others team using online voice chat through the new Wii Speaker.

The entire visual display can be customized depending on your own personal preferences thus giving you the opportunity to maximize your gaming experience. It includes the bump-mapping, fresnel effects, reflection and refraction, light and shadow maps projection, motion blur, animated textures and a lot more. You will totally love the game!
