Don't let the reviews mislead you. This is a Wii shooter, at its best.
The Good:
1. C2 has the best graphics for the wii. It has better lighting, gloss detail, textures, everything from the first conduit has been improved.
2. The online multiplayer is a lot of fun.
3. The online multiplayer runs well depending on your internet connection.
4. There's a healthy amount of unique and balanced weapons.
5. Great sound quality for a shooter.
6. Consistent frame rate.
7. Single Player is a lot of fun.
8. The art style is revamped and A LOT better.
9. C2 still has the good controls and control customization from the first conduit.
10. C2 has classic controller support for non wii gamers wanting to give the game a try.
11. Split screen is a welcome addition to multiplayer.
12. Team Invasion is insanely fun! And hard!
13. The difficulty levels are well balanced and the A.I is equally balanced in each one. (reviewers play on the lowest which is why they look dumb. They're supposed to! It's supposed to be easy! Put on severe and you're in for a challenge)
14.The online store is a fun addition which adds a lot of replay value.
15. The achievement system is full of unusual and unique achievements adding a lot of replay value.
16. Jon St Johns voice acting and one-liners aren't too bad.
17. The perks are very helpful and fun.
18. The character customization is alot an awesome feature that adds a lot of diversity to online characters.
19. Levels are a lot less linear than the first Conduit.
20. The online maps have great architecture, are less linear, and have many vantage points which leads to lots of strategy. (Strategy is always welcome!)
21. C2 has a rival system which adds friends instantly.
22. Great C1 maps have been brought back and are enhanced!
The bad
1. The voice acting isn't as robust as the first.
2. This game doesn't have the same voice actors as the first .
3. Split-Screen has a share of glitches.
4. The ending is cool, but very short.
5. The graphics go down drastically in split-screen. (More than it should)
6. Your customized character model only shows on Free For All matches.
7. Team Invasion is split screen only. :(
Overall, fans of the first conduit will enjoy this title. If you're a wii gamer that wants a robust game with a fun (but not perfect) single player campaign, and extremely addictive multiplayer, Conduit 2 is right up your alley.
