    i can't stop RUNNING

    After seeing the quick look, i'd made the decission, to buy this game with my 1000 Nintendo Points. It was worth all the 800 points. Why? Because the game is just fun, i played just cause 2 recently, and sure that's alot of fun. But the simplicity of the gameplay, combined with the amazing music and nice learning curve makes this game, one to cherish. In this game you will play Commander Video, who kinda looks like a guy in a Burka. as you move trough amazing levels, the levels do thend to become repetive after a while, and its kind of a bummer that you don't have a checkpoint system in the levels. As dieng and having to go all the way back can be really frustrating. in the levels you wil collect, stacks of gold and floating plusses.  the more plusses you collect the more awesome the music becomes. And the more of a rainbow will form where you walk. the gold in the level only ads to you high score, but if you collect all the gold. you wil get a lovely atari 2600 like bonus level. At the beginning of the game you can only jump, but as the game progresses you will get the ability to slide, kick and block.  The tutorial is implented really wel in the main game. and you enver get the feeling that the hill is to steep. so to come to a conclusion. Bit Trip RUNNER is an amazing game which offers a lot of fun and addiction, be it in the music or the gameplay for a very small price.

You play as Commander Video, the heavily pixelated man that runs through various stages avoiding obstacles and collecting gold bars that add to you score. The goal is to run from one end of the stage to the end without running into anything and trying to get as man...

      No one can stop Mr. Video! 0

      I'll be honest with ya: I don't understand much of what's going on in Bit.Trip Runner. I have no idea why CommanderVideo (the series protagonist) is running or where he's going; I don't know why he has to collect gold bars (maybe he needs the money?); and I definitely have no idea how this all ties into the series' overarching narrative. None of this is explained at all in-game, either, but that's not important. What I do know is that Bit.Trip Runner, despite its constant enigmatic nature, ...
