Even after having downloaded three of the games in this series from Nintendo's Wii Ware service, I could not have been happier giving up the asking price of 40 bucks for this game. Anyone who has played any of the Bit.Trip series should know how awesome these games already are, and to have them all on one disc is a great thing to have in itself. However unlike most developers, Gaijin Games did NOT do the cash-in maneuver and simply slap six ROMs onto a disc. Oh no. They have given those who have even been loyal fans of the series like me plenty of extras to make it worth my while to pay for three of these games all over again.
I will not be reviewing these games individually, so if you are not familiar with any of the Bit.Trip games (Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, and Flux), I recommend you look up each of those individual games to get the gist of what Bit.Trip games are. What I am going to cover is what all you get in this wonderful Bit.Trip anthology. First is what is most important to many gamers of today which is online leader boards. Now you can instantly see how your scores stack up to everyone else playing this game around the world. I could care less about this, but it's the popular thing to do. Second, each game now has an easy and hard difficulty setting along with the normal difficulty level which is identical to the Wii Ware releases of these games. On easy, Beat, Core, Void, Fate, and Flux are more forgiving of mistakes. In Runner's case, all the gold bars have been removed as well as the bonus stages. Of course on hard Beat, Core, Void, Fate, and Flux are even more unforgiving of mistakes. Again in Runner's case, you must collect all the gold bars or else you immediately go back to the beginning of the stage as soon as you miss just one gold bar as if you had fallen or hit something. In the bonus stages, your attempt to collect gold will end if you miss a one gold bar. Pretty much it forces you to do a perfect run in the main game and cuts you short on bonus points by not being able to collect more gold after you miss one bar. Thirdly each games has an additional 20 challenges. These challenges are for those who have completed these games as they are very hard. Beginners should stay away from these because they will get schooled very quickly. Fourth and my personal favorite is that they have added a wealth of unlockable content in the form of art, video, audio, and letters. The letters are the easiest to unlock and they contain the meaning of the story of each game that escapes most fans of the series. I have not unlocked any of the audio tracks, but I'm guessing that there will be some fan made stuff that Gaijin Games talked about put in there. Videos so far seems to be commercial trailers and such. Art is well......art. If online leader boards aren't a good incentive to get high scores and perfects, this is a great one. Lastly there is a music CD that comes with the game that contains the entire Bit.Trip series official soundtrack. Sticking this CD into a well adjusted audio system will blow your socks off. Though the official remixes of Runner's music were always a little bit disappointing to me, the music of the other games are great. Just as a side note if you want to hear a great remix of Runner's soundtrack, go to You Tube and type in "Hooked On Bit.Trip Runner".
And that's it. As you can see Gaijin Games has crammed more value into this retail release of all of their instant classics than anyone would have ever expected. Buy this game. Support this developer. They make fantastic games. Help them to make more games that set standards for their respective genres.
