Let's all be honest here people, the first one was a run of the mill shooter that was taken from 2003 and repackaged for the Wii. The online turned into a mess and it didn't even have split screen....

Personally the only deeming quality i see in the next Conduit is all it's offline multiplayer options. In fact if the whole game was simply just that in itself i would still purchase it over the other Fpses for the Wii. I still don't understand why splitscreen is such an oddity in todays market of games.

The only reason I would get it would be if I thought it would be fun.

I will wait and see.

Because the first one was good and this one will be even better. Excellent graphics, the continuation of The Conduit's storyline, splitcreen multiplayer, online multiplayer with strangers/friends, better and bigger campaign.

I'm not, unless reviews are universally glowing.

I gave them a chance to win me over with the first one. They failed in a rather epic fashion.

The first conduit was ok at first....although i did enjoy the storyline more than any other fps on the wii........even goldeneye. Graphically it looked great, smooth controls....the lack of the iron sight was missing but other than that it was ok. Very old school but i did enjoy this one looks much better in all aspects i won't reserve it but definitely play it if the reviews are hot.

If the single player is worth $50 I will want to play it, at least. The more I think about the single player in the first one the more... unimpressed I am. Sure, there are fun parts, but it's not the best thing ever. From what I hear, HV is addressing criticisms about the campaign, so I am keeping my eyes on it.

I want it to score AA badly too because Sonic Colors was so close to having an AA average on metacritic. I'm buying it for sure if it gets most of it's reviews above 70%.

I think it's too early to decide if people want to buy this game or not because webarely have been shown the single player or multiplayer modes.

If it ends up getting really good reviews ( not just from IGN) and has excellent online multiplayer even then I probably will still not get it and just stick with Goldeneye.

There's actually many reasons I'm getting Conuit 2:

- I really loved the first one
- I really enjoy shooters on the Wii
- I love shooters in general
- I enjoy online shooters
- Conduit 2 is going to be even better than the original in many ways
- Better graphics, campaign, online modes, co op
- I genuinely care about the story and the ending to the first makes me pine for what happenes next

So there you go! I think it looks great even though I know it's not for everybody. It seems like we'll have a strong community online too so I imagine I'll be playing it for the next year or so. Almost like I did with the first Conduit.

The first game was nothing special, but it was ultimately pretty enjoyable. High Voltage seems to have learned a lot from the first game. Conduit 2 has better graphics, better enemy AI, splitscreen multiplayer, more multiplayer modes, MotionPlus support, more boss fights, better weapon variety, more diverse and open level design, a patch system for online, headset support, friend support without having to use friend codes, character cIasses, a cover system, and an ASE that isn't useless. Basically, the first was decent and the second looks to be an improvement in every measurable fashion. Even if Conduit 2 isn't going to be incredible, I am confident that I'll have fun with it.

The first game was decent and based off what we know from the second game, it seems much improved from the prequel. Also, Wii shooters are great.

Just a note:

While many of the users in this thread have argued furiously that the Conduit 2 isn't a piece of HVS garbage. Many of them seem to not be buying the game

I might pick it up, but not on launch like I did the last one. It's not that I didn't enjoy The Conduit. I thought it was pretty fun, but it's coming out in March now. I have Pokemon and a 3DS to buy. Conduit 2 just isn't financially doable. And I wouldn't be playing it.

The single player was god-awful but I thought the multiplayer style and graphics were likable. I was addicted to it for months, yup even though i usually had to wait 10 or so minutes to get into a game (and even then in the early days you had a decent chance of running into the infamous spawn glitch.) And with optional load-outs and the ability to revive downed teammates, C2 is surely going to rock.

because conduit 1 is a "B" game. it wasnt anything u havent played before, but it had solid controls/gameplay with decent online. HVS may have run its mouth more then they should have, but it was the best FPS on wii at the time(i know this isnt saying much) and im sure that sega would have given up after the terrible sales if they didnt even have some faith that they could make money with the conduit name. Conduit 2 looks more like quake 2 or unreal and it might just be a decent game.(also, i dont play Wii for FPS, thats why i have a PS3 and PC)
