    Any Wii owner who is even mildly interested would do well to pick Bit.Trip FLUX up.

    Bit.Trip Flux is greater than the sum of its parts, though. It might be very similar to Gaijin Games' first title, but it shows growth - both in the character arc of Commander Video and the evolution of the series.

    But as ultra hardcore as Flux remains, concessions have finally been introduced, such as checkpoints, and the ability to select each mission at your leisure.

    It looks and sounds good, but it's as shallow and frustrating as a conversation with Louie Spence. [Apr 2011, p.79]

    This game is great. It's not my absolute favorite of the 6 Bit.Trip games, but it is a ton of fun for the price. Basically Flux is Beat with lots of small improvements - the balance of difficult vs easy sections is much better, you can make a lot more mistakes and still keep going, the graphics are better, etc, etc.

    Honestly there's not a whole lot I can say in favor of this game besides saying it is Bit.Trip.Beat 2.0, but that is enough for me. If you only ever buy one Bit.Trip game, get Runner, but if you're like me, and enjoy all 7 games Gaijin has published so far, you'll love this one.

    Graphics: 10/10 (for the Wii, and Gaijin games in general)
    Sound: 10/10 (these games are *all* about the music and FX and this release does not dissapoint)
    Gameplay: 8/10 (a little dissapointed this is a remake more than an original game, but it is still extremely fun!)

    Overall: 9/10. Buy it, you won't regret it.

  2. No creo que Flux haya sido el mejor final para la saga de Commander Video. El hecho de que hayan querido "cerrar el círculo" volviendo a los origines de Bit.Trip pero sumado a todo lo recorrido sonaba como una idea muy buena en la teoría, pero finalmente el juego no llego a cumplir con las expectativas que había creado y no cosecho los elogios que podría haber tenido.
