One of you controls Nyx with the Nunchuk and Wii Remote, while the other takes on the role of the Gods and directs the divine action around Nyx with a second Wii Remote. You can fight it out as to who is the more god-like between you, but be assured, each role presents its own challenges, and co-ordination and teamwork will be key!
The second player can jump into the action at any time and will be of invaluable help. For example, at one stage of the game you must make your way through a series of crumbling stone columns. The divine power Telekinesis is used by one player to hold the columns still while Nyx gingerly makes her way to the other side, controlled by the second player. But watch out! If your timing isn’t absolutely in synch, Nyx will be crushed like an ant and you’ll have to restart from the last save point.
