Probably my more favorite reviews of a Wii game and the Wii as a whole. I own both the 360 and Wii and find the 360 a far better investment to buy games. I'd rather bust out Legend of Dragoon, The Conduit's graphics are just awful looking especially for how much hype the game had. I was looking to forward to a good fps on the Wii but this isn't it.

When I refered to cumbersome, outdated controls, I was actually talking about Goldeneye. I mentioned these controls primarily because you pointed to that game as an example of a basic shooter.Boaal said:
As for the Conduit, it's fair to say that the game's controls can be improved by adjusting the settings, but if you have to play with the settings just to make the game playable then the developers probably didn't think their control scheme through very well.
Also, the developers and publishers of the Conduit essentially hyped the game as the next big thing in gaming, saying that the game would finally allow the Wii to meet and perhaps surpass the fps standards already attained on other consoles. Keeping that in mind, if it simply passes muster as a basic shooter a la Goldeneye and Timesplitters (both outdated corridorfests), I'd say that simply stating they failed to reach their goals is unnecessarily kind.
i have watched all your vidios and i have to say im gonna watch them all again so i wont be sucked up in fan boy crap
Once again Yahtzee insults the hell out of a game that truly deserves it. If you watch those commercials for The Conduit it's funny how it takes itself so seriously: "I'm probably the only one left who knows the truth. I know it because I was there." Well yeah, it would make a lot less sense if the protagonist was someone who only knew the truth because someone told him.
hilarious i was hoping youd hate this game. i saw the trailer and when i saw it was for wii i knew it was a joke =D.
Yet another reviewer who didn't actually play the game, and all of his loyal fans who hang on every word like he's always right. As always, failure you stupid worker bees. Hey you can't turn without pointing to the side of the screen... wait yes you can, you can set the control stick to turning, wow maybe I should have looked at the control options. Well at least I was right when I said you stop turning when the pointer goes off the screen.... wait you can change that in the control options too.... maybe I should pay attention to what I'm doing before I give my opinion on it...
As for the rest of you, if you don't realize this guy is a hack who just makes fun of games like this because it's funny and that not every game he thinks is shit is actually shit, then you're just showing me how stupid you all really are and I have yet another reason to fear for my life when I exit my house.
This review = Laziness, sure that's what being a reviewer is all about... sarcasm.

Played it at a friends house...it's a terrible game after about 5 minutes...and then you get to the godawful online multiplayer...20 minutes to get into a match!! So yes...i agree with the review 
You would think that since 70% of the Wii's games are third party crap, Nintendo would be losing money. (The Conduit isn't in that 70%) But most people can tell by looking at the covers of Wii games what games are crap and what isn't.[/quote]
Yeah, the ones that looked like they were drawn in a elementary art class for one.

While I agree with you on the whole Control/Fan thing, we have to remember 1 thing. Yahtzee isn't just a plain old, mainstream reviewer like GameSpot. He just does this stuff for comedy, not accuracy. Like the AVGN or Nostalgia Critic. Sure, we may get pissed off at some reviews, like his Ghostbusters one in my case, but no matter what we just have to try to find the humor/satire in it. If we can't find anything that would be funny in any way in a review, THEN we take this piss out of it. IMO, of courseHadoken_Master said:
Jesus Christ you people are drones, also shows how Yahtzee is phoning it in. 'Oh Yahtzee says it sucks, I'll never buy another Nintendo system again' Why don't you just open your mouth a little wider so he can take another shit in it? If I recall, he has contempt for those very people who listen to reviews, or at least give a letter grade. Which for him is always 4.
And he phones it in because he bashes the graphics, (Because of course the Wii and PS3 are on the same processing level) and bemoans the fact that the he has trouble with aiming and turning, there's a deadzone option to fix that and lets you customize everything and your dog. And if he stopped to smell the roses, there is a story you gather from the manual and from the game, but it still sounds like something out of a Ron Paul supporter's mouth so it's not worth defending.
If he wants something to whine about, maybe he could have talked about the game breaking glitches due to a rushed released or how easy the source code was to crack. But no, that would require him actually playing them game, which I doubt he does anymore with how generalized his sniping comments are.
You know, people liked Yahtzee before he went mainstream because he was glib and unfiltered with his opinions, he then mistakes it that people liked him because he reviewed like a pompous dick and fine tuned that instead. He's the Dennis Miller of Video game reviewers.
In before I get accused of being a Nintendrone and people miss the point and frame this as a personal attack.

No, its about 20 seconds to get into a match. The matches THEMSELVES are 20 minutes you idiot.
