The Conduit takes players into a dark story in Washington D.C. after a vicious alien invasion has rocked the country. An organisation called the Trust has sent in Secret Service agent, Mr. Ford, to go up against the insect-like alien race known as “The Drudge.” Armed with an array of futuristic weaponry and an intelligence-gathering device simply called the “All-Seeing Eye,” players follow an intricate maze filled with conspiracy, shady government activity and terrifying aliens.
The Conduit’s detailed control system allows players to customise and configure their controls, including look sensitivity, turning speed, the dead zone and much more. As players delve further into the mystery behind the extraterrestrial invasion, shocking details reveal that the invasion may have been brought on with help from the government itself.
Powered by High Voltage Software’s groundbreaking Quantum 3 engine, The Conduit ensures that players will experience single and multiplayer gameplay with graphical fidelity never seen before on the Wii. The Conduit will also support the recently announced Wii Speak peripheral, allowing online multiplayer gamers the ability to chat as they destroy aliens in each terrifying level. Additionally, the game will take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus for optimal control.
- Review
Check out the video review.
When the Wii’s hardware specs were announced gamers were floored. Why, they wondered, would Nintendo come out with a system with hardware only marginally better than that of the current generation? Why would they ignore gamers' cries for superior graphics? Why were they calling it the Wii? Their initial complaints were silenced when a few games took advantage of the system's unique features, but a resistance movement began when Wii titles began coming out with graphics that didn’t even hit the heights reached by the last generation. Everyone knew that the system couldn't push out anything huge, but no one seemed ready to explain why developers were treating the Wii, with capabilities beyond those of the original Xbox, like it was a Nintendo 64.
