    Bit.Trip Beat wouldn't survive on any of its individual elements alone, but the perfect synergy between design, sound and graphics makes the game much more than the sum of its parts.

    The iPad version of Bit.Trip Beat is a trippy musical super-Pong, but the iPhone version causes frustration due to poor controls.

    BIT.TRIP BEAT feels like a divisive game – creative, right brain types will likely appreciate the game for its art and can look past the flaws. Logical, left brain types will struggle with the game's flaws to enjoy the core product. I find myself in the latter crowd, struggling to enjoy a game that is alternately brilliant and frustrating.
