What's Hot: Best FPS currently available on Wii; Surprisingly robust multiplayer
What's Not: Boring plot; Feeble enemy AI
Another place where High Voltage blazes trails is in its online offering. You can bypass the annoying Nintendo Friend Code protocol and play in public matches. Free For All, Team Objective and Team Reaper are the only modes, and the maps feel a bit generic, but the action is smooth and stable, with little lag.
There's a bit of cognitive dissonance playing something so serious-minded on the Wii. The preconceptions about the Wii, its hardware capabilities and its audience may prove to be
The Conduit's toughest opponent. As a FPS, it's not a world-beater. It's respectable, fun and cleverly customizable. High Voltage's fine efforts show that all it takes is polish and dedication to craft a solid adventure experience for Nintendo's console.
