  • 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.

  1. A great Wii Ware title, and an excellent follow-up to Beat, and definitely more my cup of tea than the original.
  2. Bit.Trip.Core is a prime example of a downloadable game done right. It’s addictive, provides a challenge, and most importantly, it’s cheap.

    Bit.Trip.Core is a fun and challenging game, especially for only 600 Wii Points.
  4. A rare bit of vindication for Nintendo's oft-misused service. [Sept 2009, p.101]

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

    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
  4. Core demostró que Bit.Trip es una saga hecha para ramificarse sin perder su esencia. La transformación de un título a otro es asombrosa y realmente permite que aquellos que ya habíamos jugado Beat podamos sentirnos en el mismo ambiente. Collapse
