Runner is certainly one of the compilation's headline acts, and with good reason: the simple jump and slide controls (perfectly translated to the WiiMote) allow you to enjoy the raucous and colourful platforming experience that relies on split-second timing.
Oh, and such timing. Such terrifyingly precise timing. As a seasoned and self-styled master, I completely forgot just how demanding even the earlier levels are - and a simple staircase formed an impenetrable barrier that caused me to fail the second stage no less than eight times. Luckily the evolving soundtrack, gorgeous visuals and global leaderboard runs will be more than enough to keep you hooked for innumerable hours, and I was forced to play one of the other games thanks to a rep prying the WiiMote out of my sweaty, shaking hands."
"BIT.TRIP RUNNER released on May 17, 2010 for the Wii, through the WiiWare service. The game was developed by Gaijin Games and published by Aksys Games. It received an ESRB rating of 'Everyone' with no content listed for gamers or parents to be aware of, and released at a price point of 800 Wii Points, which is $8.
How many total hours have U.S. Wii owners spent running, jumping, kicking, and sliding their way through the 2D Bit world with CommanderVideo? Does Bit.Trip Runner offer enough hours of game-play to justify its WiiWare asking price of $8? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
