'Runner 2 is a rhythm game hiding behind a thin veil of platforming. It masterfully conjoins the pleasures of music and videogames, threading dangerously close to the boundaries of the latter with the former. It is also a game reminiscent of arcade gaming times; the old adage ‘practice makes perfect’ is certainly true for Runner 2. The DLC available for the game offers some additional characters from other indie games (such as Dr. Fetus from Super Meat Boy) if Runner 2′s standard goofs don’t suit you.'
“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.

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.
game is worth the score, amazing as other bit.trip games
