Conduit 2's multiplayer better than GoldenEye and Black Ops: High Voltage

By Thomas East for computerandvideogames.com

Conduit 2 can compete with GoldenEye 007 and Call Of Duty: Black Ops Wii. That's the word from High Voltage's Chief Creative Officer Eric Nofsinger who told Official Nintendo Magazine that the multiplayer mode is what sets his Wii shooter apart from its rivals.

"What sets us apart from Black Ops is that we're exclusive to the Wii and take advantage of the hardware," Nofsinger told ONM.

"GoldenEye, I think our multiplayer is definitely far more robust and that's what we set out to accomplish. We offer a lot of modes. I think they did a good job with the split-screen stuff but then we offer split-screen as well."

He added: "We also offer a horde mode like a Gears Of War kind of thing. We have an experience which allows you to collect credits and then apply them to your character, you can customise your character, there's a perks system... It's a very robust multiplayer system with a lot of modes and a lot of different ways you can play."

In fact, Nofsinger would go so far as to say that the multiplayer mode lives up to what people expect from shooters on HD consoles.

"I think it's competitive with what a lot of players are used to on PC, PS3 and 360," he said. "I think GoldenEye and Black Ops did a fair job but in those areas I think we're best."
