Review Detail
Conduit 2 is a game which remains relevant primarily thanks to the abysmal selection of competent online multiplayer games on the Wii. Its ambition—like that of its predecessor—provides for some worthwhile deathmatch moments, but elsewhere, it’s too little, too late to take the crown. The single-player campaign is short and (albeit likely purposefully) silly, and even the multiplayer produces its own set of unique gripes. Still, if you’re a Wii owner starving for some serviceable online FPS action outside of GoldenEye, there aren’t many other items on the menu.

Gameplay
Great pointer controls (with Wii MotionPlus support) give way to repetitive single-player gameplay. Multiplayer is quite the opposite—while not perfect, it can hold your attention for hours.
Presentation
Great (Wii-constrained) visuals, a sleek interface, and smooth action are partnered with one of the most ridiculous storylines in recent memory. Occasional disconnects and lag still separate the online play from the best of the bunch.
Value
The single-player is shocking short, but equally forgettable. Multiplayer, on the other hand, becomes a lot of fun once you’ve got enough options open to you for perks and loadouts.
Fun Factor
Same old story. With a few exceptions, there’s plenty to like about multiplayer. Having to play through the single-player campaign to unlock some of it, however, is somewhat torturous.
