Where do I start with a quite obviously XBox/PC/PS3 Fan Boy review.

'distinctly last-generation, with much valve turning and switch pressing to be done.'

So the player can interact with the surroundings. Why is this last-generation?

'Enemy AI, meanwhile, will generally manage to find cover and retreat from heavy fire, but otherwise shows little intelligence.'

What do you expect them to do. Compare this to COD where you could run through stages without killing the enemy and still complete the level.

'Apparently, '

then

'Obviously'

How many ways can you subtly put things down??

'More important, of course, is the control scheme, which is similar to Metroid Prime 3’s. Aiming and looking are mapped to the Wii Remote in pointer mode, and the Nunchuk moves forward, backward and strafes, while a throwing motion tosses grenades. Motion feels weighty and firing is precise with the default set-up, though another trip into the menu reveals that a comprehensive series of tweaks are possible.'

Good beats COD hands down then and I don’t have to suffer RSI from a mouse or use a PS3 or XBox controller.

'But as close as the scheme can feel to a mouse and keyboard at its best, at its worst it’s more awkward than it needs to be. The main problem is that accessing such controls as the minus button (reload) and D-pad (to switch weapons or zoom in) tends to throw out your aim.'

Maybe if you looked at the controls menu there may have been a motion to reload a la COD. I play COD with a Venom Pistol and cannot use the melee very easily but it has not stopped me prestiging 3 times and enjoying the game. I understand The Conduit has more options for control setups as well.

'The issue is with the Remote’s less- than-ergonomic button layout for anything other than A and B, and it’s one that makes you question Wii’s fundamental appropriateness for games that require controls as complex as those needed for a modern FPS. The Conduit, nevertheless, could well prove Wii’s best example so far, even if that’s rather faint praise.'

Let me see you sit there with a Mouse and K/B or a XBox Controller slowly moving closer to suffering from RSI or attempting to play with mushrooms while I sit there moving using a nunchuk in my left hand and pointing a pistol at the tv to aim and move etc. Which is more suited to 1st person perspective games, or to look at it another way which is more realistic, if there could be such a thing for these games. Oh and have you ever tried to reload a real weapon and keep your aim. Wii is the next generation towards games become more interactive, just people like yourselves are so wrapped up in graphics you have forgotten about game play. Why do you fight what is a clear alternative to PC for 1st person shooters and the only alternative once you start to develop those tell tale pains in your mouse wrist.

Your article has little insight and obviously has a bias from the start of either Anti Wii or Anti Conduit. If you cannot be bothered to review something properly spare us your rhetoric.
