The Conduit is being released exclusively on Wii and the control system was designed with the console in mind providing gameplay which, according to High Voltage, would not be possible on any other console.
In the single-player mode, you'll be playing as Secret Service Agent Ford who will take on terrifying aliens with advanced artificial intelligence. To beat the enemies and unravel the game's mysteries you'll have to master each of Ford's weapons as well as the special All-Seeing Eye device.
Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer at High Voltage, believes this shooter will be perfect for hardcore gamers. "Too many Wii owners have been told that the Wii is a casual platform with no room for serious games or top-tier graphics," said Nofsinger. "With The Conduit, we intend to prove that theory wrong by providing gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced."

Trailer:
So, it may not look graphically amazing right now but with it being due 2009, it should spruce up by then.
Looking at the screens, I wonder why the players hands look different. Sometimes wearing futuristic looking gloves (or armour) and sometimes just barehands. Unless it's screens of multiplayer.
Two of the screens that show the player getting hit have sort of veins on the screen. Do you think that will just be an effect or might that work as a sort of health meter. The closer to death you are, the more the veins take up the screen. It looks like eye veins like when someones eyes are bloodshot.
As for the trailer, it isn't bad. The music, weapons and a few scenes reminded me of Perfect Dark on the N64, which is never a bad thing. Online should be interesting.
The one thing I really didn't like about the trailer was the sad attempt at some kind of attitude with the "About damn time." thing.
