The Conduit

When a game controls this well, it doesn't really have to do a lot else to differentiate itself from the crowd. High Voltage's biggest bullet point is "It's a Wii Shooter," and on that, they certainly deliver.

What surprised me about the demo though is how bad it looked. Not all around, but inconsistently. The game perhaps overuses full-screen blur effects, when you're injured, when there are explosions, when you zoom your scope in and out. But when the game isn't blurry, it actually looks really bad. Enemies are jagged monstrosities, blending in with the jagged morass of the surrounding environment.

I don't think the final game is actually supposed to look like this, though. It's coming out this month, so it must be gold by now - but I guess it's possible that the demo was from an old build.
