Did other games influence some of the gameplay elements in The Conduit?
Certainly Halo and Golden Eye were big influences for their brilliant accessibility.
I really want to want this game. However, they are missing out on a large part of the "brilliant accessibility": local multiplayer. This is pretty much a dealbreaker for me (it also kept me from getting that Medal of Honor game).
I really want to have a good fps on the Wii. I played a lot of Golden Eye and Perfect Dark, amongst others. I rarely played the single player modes though, it was generally all multiplayer matches (or some co-op when available). Online is great and all, but I first want to be able to play against people I know, in the room with me (just like in Golden Eye, etc.), or even better, local players in the same room against others online. LAN helps a little, but doesn't do much good without another television, etc. Without local multiplayer they are missing out on a huge part of the accessibility of the classics.
