The Review Tae K. Kim Should Have Written!
The Conduit is a solid fps with a few shortcomings. That about wraps up the Conduit in one sentence, but of course this is a review so I'm going to expand on that a little...
Gameplay: The gameplay is the basic run and gun method which comes with a little twist when the game introduces the ASE, (All Seeing Eye) a device that sees all hidden things (Alien messages for example), hacks computers, and stuff of that sort. Not much more that that.
Controls: The controls are not half bad to start out, but of course you can easily change just about every aspect of the controls, my only dissapointment is that whatever you decide to put in motion controls it has a tough time picking it up.
Graphics: The graphics in the game do not remind me of Golden Eye or even look like Golden Eye in any way whatsoever. This games has some of the best Graphics on Wii ever and even are better than some graphics on the 360. I'm sure Tae K. Kim wasn't wearing his glasses when he was playing this game.
Multiplayer: The multiplayer is by far the best multiplayer on the Wii, it has great arenas and it is very fluid. That was my experience anyway, I have heard stories of experiences when it was choppy and had very bad connection and that is probably because someone that person was playing with had bad connection, but if you have good connection you WILL have a good experience!
Content: This game has roughly 25-30 guns to use maybe a little less which adds a little bit of replay value becuase the is an award system where if you kill ememies 250 times with a certain gun (sometimes less that 250) you will get and achievement and if you complete all of the achievements you will get an award. to get a different award you must collect these data disk things that are hidden around in each level (10 in each level) to get the you must charge them with your ASE. You also must find hidden messgaes written by aliens that can only be found by the ASE they are also hidden around the levels (the number of messgaes vary each level).
Storytelling: The story in the game is very predictable and ends abruptly. Its the original Aliens trying to take over Earth with help of some humans yada yada yada, but the story does get quite interesting during the last chapter of the game, get ready for a shocker. Oh, and pay attention to the storyline it isn't all that confusing and boring and the reason why Tae K. Kim didnt understand the story is because he didnt pay attention and he didn't pay attention becasue he didnt care about the game.
AI: The AI in the game is good if you turn up the difficulty to hard of intense but on elevated, guraded, and low they will run up to you and try to hit you and they will just stand there and do nothing while you are shooting them
High Voltage Software didn't make their dream game they wanted, but what they did do is made one hell of a good effort and a game that deserves at least a 4 star or maye even a 4 1/2. THis is one hell of a good game and I'm sure HVS will fix it all up in The Grinder. (their next FPS)

The Best GH WT!!!!
Guitar Hero World Tour is the best on the Wii! The addictive gameplay that is always fond in Guitar Hero is still there! Plus the drums are very very solid and the mic responds great! the newly added neck slider on the guitar works incredibly well too! Innovative concepts, like the venues and characters are still there including the robust rockstar creator is a blast to use! You can even customize your own instuments. And the music creator is cool because there are plenty of instructions to help you make your own songs. when the main part of the game is to create a band you gonna need a fantasic multiplayer to do so, and World Tour does just that! even though the single player is robust the multiplayer hits it out of the park with the carrer, quickplay and mii free (which lets you play whatever you want as your mii and it makes it sound cool!) I don't know if you would call them boss fights but when you face ted nuget and zach wylde in a guitar duel is tons of fun! also when you make game that has an instrument in its name your gonna need good audio and OF COURSE it succeeds exceptionally, with over 85 tracks in the game and great venues that make the songs sound even cooler the audio is at its best in world tour. it also has loads of content to play with, like cheats assesories and clothing for your rockstar and the default characters.
the cons of this game are minimal but the visuals in this game could be better. the thirds game visuals are better than this but they are NOT ugly just not as good as the previous games. the poors storytelling really doesn't matter but it inst very good and it does deserve a con.
other than those two cons the game is AMAZING and it definetly deserves a 5 star, if you own a wii or any other console buy this game it will be worth it!

Just Short of the Game I Was Expecting.
Before I start, I really wanted to give this game a 5 star but I just couldn't! It is one of the best DS games ever, IT REALLY IS! I just thought it just fell short of a five star.
In moon the story basically goes like this: It is 2057 and humans have found a hatch that leads deep into the moon and a man named Majoir Kane (played by the player) is caled to explore it but of course it all goes wrong and you are attacked by aliens. So Kane decides to go save the moon.
The gameplay in this game is cool! you control Major Kane as you fight aliens and try to find 3 people that are MIA (missing in action).
The tight controls are make the game solid and easy to play, basically you use the control pad to move, the L button to shoot, and you use the stylus to change your view, look at the map, open doors, and examine stuff.
Plenty of innovative concepts in this game fun to play and doesn't make the game a complete FPS rip-off. Like when you control a droid that can fit into small tunnels and gain access to other parts of the room.
The visuals are TOP-NOTCH for the DS, with full 3D animated cut-scenes and almost Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass gameplay graphics makes playing the game feel creepy when it needs to feel creepy and happy when it needs to feel happy.
With all of that you have to have great action to actually make you play which it does ever more the better than everything it does in this game.
Now, after all the pros you must be thinking why I gave it a 4 star, well, here's why.
The lacking in content makes you always hoping for more but never getting it, with only a little cluster of guns and a few things you can collect to get extra episodes, but after that there's not much more.
The annyoing audio makes the intense action seem kind of sad or toned down in a way so I always turn off the audio when I play.
The Gamepro review gave it a 2 star (WHICH IT DOES NOT DESERVE) and one reason they gave it that is because of the repetitive gameplay, and I have to admit, it does get kinda repetitive sometimes, like the ememies that you face in the game with respawn and respawn until the end (but, it still adds new enemies along the way).
this game didn't live up to my fullest expectations, but it was good enough to get in my Editors Choice games which score are games that score a 4 star of higher.
The game Moon is a game that is insanley fun, it just doesn't get that

No Cons For Mario Kart Wii, That Shows A Good Sign!
this game is the best game in the series! it has the best graphics (amazing graphics for the wii), the content is overloaded! with new courses, characters, karts, and bikes that makes plenty of replay value! the games is solely based on the multiplayer! so it has to be good, and it is! the audio is amaing to! they really match each of the courses!
Everybody says the wii wheel is horrible, BUT IT ISN'T! it works perfectly for me! and all the other ways to play the game work very well too! the game is just plain fun! i recommend it to anyone! hardcore or casual alike
