![]() ![]() ![]() There wasn’t a single moment I felt bored or unhappy while playing Runner 2, and every jump, slide and movement is perfectly choreographed to give you just the right amount of responsiveness. Gaijin Games has somehow distilled the inherent fun in perpetual motion down to an art. The gameplay is some of the most addictive, enjoyable, and rewarding I have ever experienced. The aesthetic in Bit.Trip Runner was retro and endearing, but this visual design in Runner 2 is truly inspired and wholly original.īut don’t think Runner 2 is only about style. You may have to keep yourself from admiring the views while running through the game for the first time. Levels also feature full backgrounds which are packed with great scenery and eye candy. Commander Video is a joy to watch on the move, and his actions are animated with a buttery smoothness. Every polygon, every backdrop, and every character looks bright, clean, and colorful. Every level is presented in stunning HD, and the new art style looks positively delicious. In motion, Runner 2 impresses even further. A game having level names like “Tripping on Herbs” and “Pilge Bump” is a good thing. Even the world and level names are full of personality, and more than a few will make you chuckle. Seriously, we need to see this guy branch out some more. There’s even a few narrated segments voiced by the one and only Charles Martinet (aka: the voice of Mario), who is downright hilarious. There are little touches everywhere in this game, such as fake advertisements you see on the loading screen and incredible backdrops in the levels. However, what makes Runner 2 immediately stand out is its amazing presentation. It’s standard fare for a runner game, and even more familiar if you’ve played the first title. Every one of the game’s 100 or so levels involves the same procedure: run and dodge obstacles while picking up gold and other goodies. The game continues the first Bit.Trip Runner, and Commander Video has been sent to another dimension where he must run a whole lot of miles to get back to his homeland and defeat the evil Timbletot. It’s one of the best downloadable games I’ve ever played, and it’s a blast that will put a big stupid grin on your face. It’s a mouthful of a title, but it’s suited for a game that’s gushing with flavor and content. The perfect runner game is here, and it’s called Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. But I think it’s time for runner games to give up now. Games where you just run forever– progressing to infinity or to preset goals– have proven to be fun, satisfying, and easy to pick up and play. There’s been tons of runner games in recent years. ![]()
