DS Writes, "Have you ever played Pong? Most gamers have, although not as it was meant to be played on the original arcade machine. Typically, if you play Pong today, it’s on a handheld device, or one of our consoles in some form of HD remake or game loosely based off of the original. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the idea, because in a way it can become pretty boring. However, Bit.Trip Beat takes an interesting approach to the Pong-like genre and makes things very lively.
Bit.Trip Beat is basically a mix between Pong and a rhythm game. It takes some pretty sweet retro-sounding music, even chip tune, if you will, and tosses objects at you to the beat of the music. You’re given a paddle on one end of the screen to deflect these objects, which are timed to hit your paddle along with the beat of the music being played."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Some of the best games of recent memory have taken inspiration from the past to craft something that is both ‘new’ and ‘old’ at the same time."
