I'm Charles Martin a and now it's time for bit.trip presents runner to future legend of rhythm alien okay so why did I leave that Charles Martin a intro in place I can almost guarantee that you've heard Martinez boys several times over this man in your life but you might not know who he actually is Martin a is the voice of mario luigi waluigi baby mario baby luigi and even paarthurnax Tragon from skyrim he's a gaming icon and legend whether or not you've ever actually heard his name before he has been representing Nintendo alone since the dawn of voice work and aiming for that company anyways i'm joey davidson senior gaming editor at TechnoBuffalo and i'm bringing you a look at the recently released runner 2 from the gaijin games or as it's known entirely bit.trip presents run or two future legend of rhythm alien before we go breaking this game down further I'm just going to step away and let you listen to the music and pay attention to the visuals run or two in case you haven't already figured this out is an infinite running game just like its predecessor players are charged with pushing buttons in order to jump over duck under smash and block the obstacles that get in a way I'm actually playing this game on the PC I can use a keyboard but the user interface the menu that gaijin games created for this one really recommends using a gamepad or a controller so I am music at controller and the difference is remarkable it's a much better game than play with a controller so maybe you can use that to inform you and in regards to which platform you pick this thing on on but much like everything else in the bit.trip series from gaijin games run into is also based heavily on the music that you hear in the background so everything you do in the game builds that song that you here while you're playing and the result is this really charming fun ambiance that accompanies the controller hurling frustration that comes from memorizing patterns and reacting quickly so yeah despite the overall sunny disposition and exceptionally cheery music run or two is a tough game you're going to repeat levels over and over and over just to make sure you've collected each and every stack of gold unlocked all the costumes and nab the extras it's an insanely addictive formula that works really well and one of the compliments that I have to pay gaijin games is that they made things happen quickly so yeah you're gonna play levels that are really frustrating but when you die or when you hit something you'll either revert back to a checkpoint or get sent back to the beginning or the level and it happens really fast you're not going to wait for a loading spring every time you run into a brick wall that would be exceptionally frustrating and make this thing no fun so I'm sure you've noticed I've hit a few of obstacles already this was the first play that I have with this game but just like that you're sent back to the starting block if I had hit a checkpoint in the middle of the level and I think checkpoints are new to this game at least memory serves they weren't in the original you're sent back to the beginning the level quickly so there's no real frustration that comes from oh I just died I gotta sit through a loading screen I hate that in games and at least run or two skips that kind of incorporates losing into the overall scheme of eventually winning it's part of the reason why this formula is so addictive you as a recording this video runner 2 is available for the PC Mac Linux wii u and xbox 360 platforms it found for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita soon but those others are released right this very moment that might change by the time this video is posted but as a Wednesday it is the 27th wre one on recording us those are the platforms that it's available for it's a fifteen dollar game i believe on scheme if you pay twenty bucks you can get the soundtrack as well so definitely worth it it's a cool cool little pick up and these support indie gaming and gaijin games has been doing this for a while and it's the runner game is really are probably the third fret and butter in a bit trip series anyway it's really a fantastic gorgeous game and i highly recommend attending room with some free time and some extra bucks thank you guys for watching and check out TechnoBuffalo com for more you
