LostOverThere Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I stumbled across two new reviews today. Nintendo Dojo gave the game 8.5/10 while Nintendo World Report also gave it 8.5/10. Can't wait for it, personally.
Nintendohnut Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I stumbled across two new reviews today. Nintendo Dojo gave the game 8.5/10 while Nintendo World Report also gave it 8.5/10. Can't wait for it, personally. That's great news. It kind of annoys me when people who want this game to fail focus on the tiny number of bad reviews for this game (like recently when people have been harping on about one single review from Edge) and ignore all the others that give the game around 80-90%. At least we all know that it's a good game, and I suppose that's all that matters.
david.dakota Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Has anyone preordered from Zavvi? My order is currently "waiting for stock pick"... i'm guessing their just on-the-ball, rather than shipping it a week early!
DazzeL Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Has anyone preordered from Zavvi? My order is currently "waiting for stock pick"... i'm guessing their just on-the-ball, rather than shipping it a week early! Mine says the same. I really wouldn't be THAT hopeful, hehehe.
lostmario Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Guys, Zavvi have corrected the price, its £29.95 on their website now.
DazzeL Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I thought that would be coming. A good job a lot of us got in at the £17.95 price!
dazzybee Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Unless they cancel our orders.... if they cancel our orders and then I have to preorder again for the speakers but don't get the speakers because I wasn't early enough I will destory the AVV so in future they're just known as ZI!!!
dazzybee Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Disappointed to see that Zavvis aren't sending them game out. I've got a busy weekend and was hoping to get the game on Thursday
Tellyn Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Disappointed to see that Zavvis aren't sending them game out. I've got a busy weekend and was hoping to get the game on Thursday They'll be doing a Play.com and not honouring early orders that took advantage of a mis-price.
lostmario Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Mine is still awaiting stock pick. I NEED THIS GAME FRIDAY!!
welsh_gamer Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 If you order with Game, Gameplay or ShopTo by 5:00pm tomorrow, it should be with you Friday if you're desperate.
lostmario Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Can't be bothered to cancel my order now, especially if it stays at £18. Maybe they havent updated it recently. I can only hope.

I'm not going to cancel my order tbh. If it's not despatched by Friday morning then I will and just pick one up from the city.
Dog-amoto Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Got an email from play.com to say that my order had been posted. So I should get it some time this month... Not really too bothered though - not going to play it properly till August anyway when I have some time off
Emasher Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 So, an estimated 100 000 copies sold in the first week in the US. Not bad. Hopefully this will have legs too.
Kav Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I need to get a phone line set up at my new address so I can get online asap for this! I don't want to miss out on the online action for too long!

The strange thing about Nintendo games, is that unlike other platforms, software sales look very linear in the sense that they keep selling at a quite steady rate. Don't ask me why this happens, it just always seems to (take House of the Dead: Overkill for instance).
Patch Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The strange thing about Nintendo games, is that unlike other platforms, software sales look very linear in the sense that they keep selling at a quite steady rate. Don't ask me why this happens, it just always seems to (take House of the Dead: Overkill for instance). Why's that then? Yes, it's weird that there seem to be a lot of slow-burners. I suppose the mainstream audience aren't into getting games on release date. If they don't buy many games, they'll walk into a shop and will be just as likely to buy an old game as a new one? I dunno. Gameplay told me they'd shipped The Conduit yesterday. Which is nice.
Dog-amoto Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Crikey. The game arrived today from Play, with portable speakers and all. Be careful if you've bought from Play too as they glued the speakers to the cardboard outer box with that really sticky putty-like glue. I managed to remove mine without damaging the box, but just a warning to others... As for playing the game, I have a full day off today, so I may go on it later.
Patch Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Gameplay told me they'd shipped The Conduit yesterday. Which is nice. And it's arrived this morning. Wooo!
Nicktendo Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Just phoned Zavvi and they will be dispatching tomorrow, which means it will be next week for us lot. But at £17.95 I'm really not too fussed. Looking forward to reading everyones impressions!
Patch Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I could post some impressions tomorrow. Got to finish work first. :-(
Tellyn Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Just got this in from Play.com. From what I played of the single player mode, I wasn't too impressed... Whilst the graphics are indeed spiffing, I felt like I was running in circles when the corridors and rooms seemed to keep repeating themselves. The controls and the overall feel of it are solid, but it seems to be lacking in atmosphere. It feels kind of hollow. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, though I am looking forward to it. To be honest, I didn't buy this for the single player.

To be honest, I didn't buy this for the single player. I'm not very impressed with the single-player so far! Reminds me of that Double Agent Bond game for some reason...and the graphics don't look anything like the earlier videos i saw...very very jaggy (i'm not a graphics whore by the way)...Still it controls well and multiplayer will most probably be very good.
