    Bit.Trip Runner pulls out ahead of the competition to give fans more great gameplay at a ridiculously low price.

    Pure fun and maximum challenge. This is an addictive, almost hypnotic experience.

    Like BEAT, it caused me to marvel at the the creative use of economic game design to create an experience that inspired both comfort and anxiety, familiarity and wonder.

    Bit.Trip RUNNER epitomises the best qualities of the Bit.Trip series in terms of being a fun game to play as well as honouring the pioneers of console gaming.

    Our favourite game on WiiWare. Most full-price games don't entertain us like this one does.

    Dashes straight to our hearts, serenades our ears and paints our retro-loving souls with every color of the rainbow.

    Bit.Trip Runner is unique in every way. It's a game that combines platforming and rhythm, with great old-school graphics and sounds. And it's addictive in the same way the old Arcade classics are: based on the player's belief that he can play better the next time.

    Bit.Trip Runner is, obviously, the fourth game in the Bit.Trip series, and it pretty much stands out from the rest, but not by much. While the gameplay is simple enough, the difficulty curve tends to become difficult to scale as time goes on, eventually making some levels require super-human reflexes, which, unfortunately, some of us lack when all we really want is to advance through the game, which is absolutely frustrating.

    The good things about this game is the music within the game, which is quite fun to listen to, when you're not forced to listen to the same loop over and over again when you're stuck on one level. The art is quite good too, mixing 8-bit-like sprites with a 3-D world.

    In short, an okay game, but 800 Wii points is just too much for a frustrating game such as this.    … Full Review »

    Runner es por lejos el mejor títulos de la saga. Su música pegajosa, colores brillantes y bien pensada curva de dificultad lo han transformado en un referente dentro del mundo indie, y en uno de esos título que pone a prueba tu paciencia (y tu orgullo).… Full Review »
