I like explosions!

Lookin' forward to this. Hope they take care of the issues from the first one. =)

Conduit 2: A Michael Bay production...

Pretty sweet tidbits, though...

this will be a 100% buy for me i loved the first one but had lots of problems i will trade my first one to get this

Now that was a statement I enjoyed reading. Go HVS! Make us proud!

@Metroid_Fan "Conduit 2: A Michael Bay production..."
.... That's a good thing?

I would still be playing the first game if the matches weren't so glitched out. It's no fun waiting for a game to finish while you're spawned inside a wall.

I agree with Machu. Go HVS!

4 player versus is a good start. Can we also get Co-op?

Was going to purchase Conduit 1 because it had Wii Speak but the reviews were not good enough. Conduit 2 sounds so good Ima preorder it as soon as I can!

You gotta hand it to High Voltage Software; so many of their games either cancelled or released to lukewarm response but they still try hard enough to make us pay attention when they come up with something new. Someday we'll play something truly awesome from them, the only question is how soon...

@irken: I don't know, you're the one that likes explosions, you tell me...

You know what? I like HVS. If people don't like their stuff, they really listen to fans and say, "Okay, what can we do to make it better?"
And I do like how they're trying to stand out a little bit. They recognize that the Conduit was rather cliche and, as the guy says, "a little basic" and they're trying to change that. And not just with the Conduit, but with The Grinder. They didn't want to be swimming in a sea of FPS on the HD twins, so they mixed it up and made it top down. And you know what? It actually looks kind of cool. They're not exactly pumping out classics, or even great games, but I like their attitude, and I'm more than willing to give the Conduit 2 a shot if they can pull off all that they've set out to accomplish.

I am so looking forward to this. The Conduit was a solid game, I can't imagine what they'll do with the next installment. Here's to hoping that we get DLC.

GRENADE SPAM ALERT, lol jk.

Sounds like they're duplicating MW unlock system, which is a good thing since it's awesome. As long MW's spawn system isn't copied along with it, cause that sucks.

This game looks sick. I'm currently going through my second run through the first game, and I think a sequel would be awesome. Looking at the nintendo power article, it looks like they are trying to improve every aspect of the original. Hopefully their efforts will be rewarded by more lucrative sales this time around.

funny thing i just beat this game yesterday looking forward to the sequal

I certainly hope they add more depth to the single player experience. That would be very nice.

An obscure Simpsons reference on the screen shot caption? You get 10 bonus nerd points.

Never did get the first one. As ling as this has a good campaign, wii speak, and no friend codes, its a buy for me.

Cool, bring it on! Who says Wii doesn't have "hardcore" games, 2010 is one awesome year!

This is the year of big hyped games from last year that didn't live up to are exceptions given sequels that make the first games look like beta test. Conduit 2 sounds way better than the first and Scribblenauts 2 sounds way better than the first one too. I also should include Red Steel 2. That one blows the first out the water.

Oh yeah! So much good news today! Really liked the original and the sequel seems to have all the things the original was missing. This will be fantastic! Especially multiplayer spltscreen co-op! More Wii-games need that.

SWEET! Day 1 purchase!

It looks like High Voltage Software will be getting a lot of my money. This and The Grinder (360 & Wii). Keep up the quality titles.

Well it's in color at least.

You know what would make it more unique? If it wasn't in colour. Honestly though, I enjoyed the first one and hope for a much more solid second.

@AlexSays
Funniest thing you've said in long time (and that's saying something), although I doubt you actually ever played the original (you've been down on it since it was first announced).

Cool,i like the guy taking off in the exsplosive pic.
Better physics i think so.

Two words I don't like seeing in reference to a FPS: 'purchase' 'upgrades'
It's not that big of a deal I suppose, I just don't like it when shooters try to be RPGs. I also don't like that people have to unlock power ups to be fully capable in an online match.
The class system sounds good though, kinda like Team Fortress 2. And that 4 player map is looking great, I just hope they add bots and all the modes to the local multiplayer as well.

i like sounds of (perks) and upgrading suits and that its defo buy 4 me when comes out!!

You know what I really want them to improve on in Conduit 2? I think the game's online matches need to load a heck of a lot faster. It would take around 4-5 minutes or so to get a game started, where as in MW for the Wii it takes about 10 seconds.

Gonna be watchin' this one, for sure!

With respect to Sega for picking the game up, I can't help finding it a shame when an online Wii game isn't being handled by EA. Their online service is so much better than Nintendo WiFi.

For those starved for information:
The full 8 page original article, along with 30+ screens/artwork are available at http://www.darktechnet.webs.com/

sounds promising. the online class system actually sounds amazingly fun.

YAY! Local matches! I did still like the online of the first, though.
