Stephen B from Negative World writes: "
When I was a young boy, long car rides bored me. Hell, short car rides could bore me. To combat this semi-constant risk of dullness, I would stare outside my window and imagine… With the grass passing by, telephone poles whizzing past my placement, and the landscape constantly changing, I would imagine myself a rabbit. This rabbit was something akin to Bugs Bunny but really he never had that much of clear description. The one thing that was clear though… he liked to run. He liked to jump! He would leap over fences and slide along power lines. This rabbit would join me on those car rides and constantly run. Endlessly. Jumping and busting through any and all obstacles. This would settle my mind for trips upon trips. Had I been more aware of what was happening in my head, perhaps I would have been a game designer at a young age, as when I was six, I pretty much had the idea for Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (known from here on out as Runner2). However, lucky for all of us, Gaijin Games would capitalize on this concept and carve themselves a whole new platforming genre… and an incredible sequel to boot."
“There are definitely more interesting 2D platformers on the market but that doesn't mean Runner2 is a bad choice for fans of the genre to check out either; particularly, if you like having your reaction speed challenged.” - Martijn van Gent from Video Chums.
PSN:
There is hardly anything wrong with this addictive and utterly crazy game. From the moment the utterly bizarre advertisement pops up and Charles Martinet’s voice flows through the speakers you know you are in for a crazy and delightful experience.
There is so much to keep you entertained with this Cross-Buy title and the desire to play it through twice is an easy choice to make. BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend Rhythm Alien is mad fun for the whole family and I cannot recommend it enough.
Runner2 is the new (or old) 2D sidescroller, PlayStation 4 release by Gaijin games, which came out back on February 24th but if you’ve been paying attention you’ll probably know that the game was released on other platforms back in 2013.
