Confirmed: Nintendo Power review score of The Conduit

It looks like Nintendo Everything has got their hands on the official review of The Conduit on the Wii. It looks like they didn’t go all-out fanboy and give the game a 9, and say that everything was flawless, but they did say that it was “the best pure first-person shooter on Wii.”

Nintendo Power did have valid gripes about the game, and upon reading the review, it sounds like the game would be a 6-7.5 rather than the 8 that it was given.

Summary

- 8.0
- Great adventure, but doesn’t measure up to “big guns” of the genre.
- Predictable story.
- Unimpressive AI.
- Little innovation aside from the controls…
-…yet their quality, which owes a lot to their customizability, mostly overshadow these issues.
- Locales look great for the most part though the level of details can be inconsistent.
- Finely tuned level design based more around covering yourself and surviving than “run ‘n gun”.
- Lack of destructible environments is a disappointment.
- Great, satisfying to use weapons selection.
- ASE is cool, but under-utilized.
- Impressively smooth online experience.
- Cliffhanger ending hinting at a sequel
