Following a few delays, Conduit 2 will finally be hitting store shelves next month. Wondering how the game turned out? Well, it seems as though Nintendo Power enjoyed it… somewhat. The magazine awarded Conduit 2 a 7.5, which actually a half point lower than their rating for the original. Fans were probably expecting a higher score given the amount of time spent on the project as well as numerous improvements touted by the developer.
The review mentions that a better campaign would have benefited the title and moments that should be great – such as the Leviathan boss battle – simply aren’t. Multiplayer facts are also mentioned, but apparently weren’t criticized.
We’ll bring you more details from the review as soon as they become available.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!
