KEY INFORMATION

In a fictional near future, Washington D.C. is shaken by several strange events resulting in heightened local and national tensions. John Adams, the enigmatic leader of a shadow organization known as the Trust, realizes that the nation’s capital has come under attack by an alien race called the Drudge. A former Secret Service agent, codenamed “Mr. Ford”, is recruited to learn the origins of this attack. The answer Mr. Ford finds is not the one he expects.
The Conduit is a straightforward First Person Shooter (FPS) in the style of Halo, MOH: Heroes 2, and Resistance: Fall of Man. Players battle enemy forces in a highly detailed 3D world using a dynamic control scheme only possible on the Wii.

By multiplayer, im assuming that there will be a 4 player hotseat option, i hope...?

[taco31]

I didn't know much about the story until I saw this but sounds pretty creative for a FPS on the Wii. And that's a good thing.

[dinkdude]

ive got 3 words for everyone who though this wuld be M. IN YO FACE!

[smashbrosbrawl]

I don't know... I still think that it's M. I've never heard about this website. How do we know that it's a trustworthy source?

[raulpena2]

I judge a site by it's rank, and that one is in the millions, which means it sucks. It can still be true if the person who wrote that has their own source which is more legit. The game rating should be official a few months before it's released, so you have a lot of time to worry about whether it'll be M or Teen. You don't have to decide now whether you'll buy it or not.

[smashbrosbrawl]

Lol.... I'll buy this no matter what the rating. I'm just saying that everyone seems to believe readily that this is Teen... The whole point was to make a Mature game for the Wii. I won't believe that this game is T for Teen until someone like IGN or Gamespot confirms it (without making reference to that questionable article, of course).
