FPS on the Wii

Any recommendations? A co-worker is looking for a Wii shooter. Multiplayer is not really a concern.

I hear the Conduit is worthwhile, that the case?

    Not a whole lot, unfortunately. Conduit was OK- great controls, multi was fun before people started hacking like mad. Metroid is pretty solid.

    I liked Deadspace: Extraction, but it's been pointed out to me that I may be wrong.

    It's an on-rails shooter.

    The Goldeneye remake reviewed pretty well, came out earlier in the month.

    Actually there are quite a few good FPSs on the Wii, particularly recently.

    In the past few weeks there's been Goldeneye and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Goldeneye is much less a remake of the original than you might expect, there's a lot that's different, but most people think it's pretty great. Black Ops is supposed to match feature-for-feature with the HD console versions, and aside from having worse graphics it's gotten decent reviews (on both review sites and forums).

    Look into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, it's Modern Warfare remade for the Wii which is supposed to be another accurate port that is well-liked.

    One I have from a while ago is Medal of Honor Heroes 2, it has some great controls and is pretty fun.

    Conduit is actually not considered to be that great. There was a big focus on graphical effects but not enough on gameplay, supposedly. But it's not a terrible game either.

    Metroid Prime set the bar pretty high.

    I also have played all the CoD games except for Black ops. they are done pretty well. They control great, and graphics are pretty good. the one or two reviews i saw for Blops seemed positive

    The House of the Dead games are really fun for me. It may be part nostalgia, but I've known other people who liked it as well.

    I would say don't bother... especially if you don't have the N64 controllers. Even with the Wii Gun your hands get tired, and the gyroscope isn't 100% accurate.
