BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien

"BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien" is the sequel to BIT.TRIP RUNNER. While the name is significantly longer, the game itself was not. I was kind of surprised that each world only took me about an hour to burn through. There were 5 worlds. I was wondering if the game was significantly shorter or if I just was better at the game this time around. I sincerely doubt it was the latter as it's been nearly 3 years since I beat the original.

If you're unfamiliar with this franchise, go read my write up on the first game here.

Not a whole lot has changed. Everything's just more 3D-y, and the backgrounds seem unnecessarily busier. It might have been on purpose because on occasion, the background really bugged out my eyes while I was trying to focus on the foreground elements attempting to kill me.

Overall, it was an enjoyable enough experience, but it wasn't significantly different from the original. It wasn't necessarily good or bad. My reaction when asked about it was simply "Yep. That was a game I played."
