First Impressions: Bit. Trip Core

This is the sequel to the WiiWare game Bit. Trip Beat. It involves 8-bit graphics along with catchy rhythmic chip tune music. It is a Rhythm game on the WiiWare downloadable service and goes for 600 points.

• As with the first game, the music is great.
• It is hard as hell! Exponentially harder than Beat - and if you played Beat, you know that's a big deal.
• Once again it does a bad job of telling you how to play.
• I love how it's 2 player co-op, but the game never mentions that; I had to find out online.
• The inclusion of a "BOMB" option is nice if you find yourself at a incredibly hard part.
• Once again I like how the screen turns black and white and only your Wii remote makes noise when you're about to lose.
• Boss endings are back and they're as great as always.
• Enjoyable little animations are back.
  

So that's my general look so far at Bit. Trip Core. Expect a review soon.
