  • Summary: [WiiWare] BIT.TRIP CORE continues the BIT.TRIP saga in this retro-arcade-style game. BIT.TRIP CORE adds up to an exciting action/rhythm game that's best played while zoning out on the tunes and letting the visuals swallow you whole. The experience is inspired by games from the '80s, but with a modern twist. The game play is entirely new to the series, leaving the single-axis controls of BIT.TRIP BEAT behind in favor of the ability to control two axes. If the difficulty gets you down, grab a friend and play cooperatively with two-player multiplayer. Make it to the end and you'll have journeyed one step further to completing your BIT.TRIP.

    A great Wii Ware title, and an excellent follow-up to Beat, and definitely more my cup of tea than the original.

    On the outside this may look like just another flavor of Bit.Trip Beat, but don't let that sway you. Even though artist Gaijin used the same colors of paint on their canvas, the result is wonderfully different.

    A rare bit of vindication for Nintendo's oft-misused service. [Sept 2009, p.101]

    The first Bit.Trip was a grueling masterpiece. This installment turns up the difficulty one more notch while offering a completely new play control. Those frustrated by the motion control of the first game will like that the new one is controlled by the d-pad in all it's "waggle-free" glory. The atmospheric Bubblyfish opening music makes it almost seem more tense. My only complaint is that I can't get out of my mind that I would rather have played this title with the Classic Controller or the Gamecube Controller but neither were options. Overall an awesome title for only 600 wii points.… Expand

    Easily one of the best WiiWare games yet and as good as BEAT was, CORE is even better.
