Yes, more hints on C2 DLC. now whether or not it includes maps or not is a little obscure for now, but keep checking in to see what HVS may have in store for the community :)


here is the article

The IGN Video Review is here. They scored it a 7.5, and their points seemed fair.

Hey guys, Domstang68 here. So, it may have been a school night. I may have had a lot of homework that day. But, I didn't care. I went to Gamestop and got Conduit 2 at 12:05 AM EST on April 19, 2011. I got home and put the game in my Wii. When I started the game, it was kind of like Heaven had burst out of my television set right in front of me. This game was impressive from the start. The graphics are improved like you can't believe, the gameplay is polished. Since I am a Classic Control Wielder, I decided to use that. I couldn't be happier. The map any button to anything works wonders for the classic controller. The Wii Remote and Nunchuck is better than last game, whether you have Wii MotionPlus or not. The game loads crazy fast. For instance, with a hacked Wii, The Conduit takes about 8 seconds to get to the campaign mission. Conduit 2 loads off the disc in 4 seconds, getting you to the shooting faster than ever. The new modes are an addition that was long needed. For you Halo fans, Invasion takes a firefight like stance, however, the game is much more difficult than Halo's firefight, no matter how easy you put it. But all in all, it was a great mode, except for it only has three maps that you can play it on, and for some reason, if you want to play by yourself, you still have to go to split screen to access it. I didn't have a chance to test the split screen, so I'll leave that judgement up to you. However, the online muliplayer is just something short of a military drill mission list. With the combinations adding up to 40 modes, plus 12 players together, plus 12 maps, including some from the first game, must I explain? There is simply too much to cram in this small space, so I will go for the basics. It retains the 12 players from last game, as well as some maps, upgraded to take advantage of the new software. Secondly, no more voting system. You get a choice between 2 maps, essentially like Call of Duty. The gameplay for this? Improved ten-fold from The Conduit's, which was already extremely well put together.

However, what is a good review without any complaints? As much as I hate to say so, I did have a few minor issues that don't retract from the game, but I wanted to bring them up. First off, the intial cutscenes are pre-rendered, meaning a computer drew them out for the Wii and it plays them like a tape recording. When you play the game, the Wii has to draw that, that is called rendering. Some of the cutscenes were grainy and less quality than the gameplay, yet they were pre-recorded. But not a big deal. My second complaint is that Invasion has a frame rate that can very widely. It is the only mode that starts at 60 Frames Per Second and can drop to 30, as well as be anywhere in-between that. But, again, not a big deal.

All in all, I give this game a 9.8 out of 10. It has pretty much done everything it was supposed to live up to and more, and those small complaints of mine didn't detract from the gameplay, I am just being critical. BTW, I will eventually post my friend code here.

P.S. Screw you Nintendo for giving this game a 7.5 just to promote your own software. At least HVS decided to do this on your console, making you plenty of money in Licensing fees.

A great video by PowerPlayr reviewing conduit 2 and an excellent one at that!
