You think the most accurate review is from the guy who got fired from his previous company over taking money for a positive review? Maybe you should watch him own in wii sports bowling to understand his wii competency.

Jeff didn't get fired for taking money. Edios went on a witch hunt to get him fired for giving the game a bad score. Get your facts straight. Also to be noted, Edios is the same company who paid out Gamesradar to give Tomb Raider: Underworld a good score.

Also, when I first tried Wii Sports, I had problems with controlling the game a bit. But I think all learned how to get around those problems over time. Don't you think the video you provided is representive of someone who tried the game for the first time.

Also, you clearly did not read or watch his review. He didn't bust on the Wii, in fact he mentioned the game controlled well and FPSes should be modeled accordingly to that. This game would be low on any standard for any platform.

Face up to what The Conduit is. It is a mediocre FPS.

Also, it isn't as if he hates the Wii. He has given good reviews for games for the Wii.

When he was frome Gamespot
WarioWare: Smooth Moves received 9.1/10

He gave the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess an 8.8/10

Currently at Giantbomb
He gave Super Smash Bros. Brawl an 4/5 stars

He gave Boom Blox an 4/5 stars

He gave Klonoa: Door to Phantomile 4/5 stars

You're right I didn't do that much research on the guy. You're also right I didn't read the review because in my opinion the game deserves a much higher score than 4/10. I've sunk about 25+ hours into the game, I agree it's nothing special or groundbreaking but I haven't had this much fun with a wii game in a long long time. It is simply not a 4/10 game with the multiplayer package, if you're looking for an awesome single player then yes its nothing special. Everyone has their opinions for sure. But how he gave warioware a 9/10 and the conduit a 4/10 is beyond me. If you agree with his reviews more power to you, I'm more of an IGN guy myself though I'll admit their Conduit score was a bit high, but it was to be assumed after all the hype they gave it. Either way, I can't really agree that the lowest score by far on metacritic is the most accurate. Thats all I'm saying.

For the record though my grandmother did better the first time she wii bowled.
