IGN writes: "If you were a fan of Bit.Trip: Beat, Core is another awesome package that'll last you a few good hours for a slim 600 point price. The music is a bit too predictable this time around, still using standard 4:4 beats and little more than quarter, eighth, or sixteenth notes to vary things up, but every once in a while the game will throw you for a bit more of a loop. The boss areas, challenges (which require you to turn your controller around to orient the d-pad differently), black and white danger zones, combo system, and visual style all rock. What it really comes down to is a gameplay design that just isn't quite as compelling as the tilt-to-move Pong-based game in Beat, and some simple music. For 600 points it's still a steal for any retro gaming or music fan, but I would have been just as happy with more Beat songs for the same price. Core is fun, original, and downright trippy; it just doesn't bring too much innovation to the overall Bit.Trip family".
Hardcore Gamer: If you love the Bit.Trip games, but haven't yet been able to get their OSTs, then the newest Game Music bundle is for you. $1 or more gets you the OSTs for Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Core, Bit.Trip Fate, Bit.Trip Void, and Bit.Trip Flux.
Set for release later this month, Rising Star Games’ BIT.TRIP compendium will be available for both Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Electronic Theatre recently had the opportunity to get hands-on with the former, BIT.TRIP Complete, and while it doesn’t promise to add anything new to the series, delivering the short bursts of adrenaline rush gameplay for which BIT.TRIP is famous in one all-encompassing package should be enough to grab the attention of any innovation-hungry Wii gamer.
Acclaimed videogames publisher Rising Star Games has today announced the signing of two new Gaijin Games titles, BIT.TRIP COMPLETE and BIT.TRIP SAGA. Both BIT.TRIP COMPLETE and BIT.TRIP SAGA offer an amazing collection of six of the very best celebrated indie BIT.TRIP videogames, and will be available to buy in Q1, 2012, on Wii and Nintendo 3DS respectively.
this sounds like a good game!
