DHGF: Bit.Trip Presents…Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, aside from possessing one of the most unnecessarily long titles I’ve ever encountered, at least provides a game experience that is of respectable length. Running through each stage and reacting to every obstacle that you see at the last second is akin to doing a speedrun of a Sonic the Hedgehog game, but with music that plays along with your actions. The controls are responsive despite the impressive repertoire given to Commander Video, and underneath the simplicity lies a game with a surprising amount of depth. If that sounds like a recipe for success to you, then I suggest you run out and go buy it.
“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.
