It's nice to know that this game will be getting a lot of Multi-player modes and that the frame rate will be smoother. Will it actually be fun though? That's the question.....

I dont know... after the first one it will be difficult for HVS to convince me to buy Conduit 2, it still looks like a B grade game.

I'm really interested in this game, I actually enjoyed the first one, but I really am falling behind on gaming right now and there's no sign of catching up before the 3DS.

I am halfway through Epic Mickey, loving Goldeneye online, and am halfway through Donkey Kong Returns with my brother. I'm just not sure it would make sense for me to get this right now unless it's incredibly awesome and a "no way you can miss this" experience. I hope that ends up being the case though.
