Review BIT.TRIP VOID (WiiWare)
Don't avoid the VOID
The third release (of six) in Gaijin Games' BIT.TRIP series has quite a bit in common with its predecessors. And that is a good thing. Even better, though, is just how much VOID manages to stand apart from its popular older brothers. Rather than striving to recapture their specific glories, VOID charts territory of its own. And...

Good. But I stopped my interest in these "hardcore" games after my experiences with BEAT. Not to say that BEAT and the entire Bit Trip series isn't good however.
Looks kinda like Katamari Damacy crossed with Ikaruga.
Wow. I loved BEAT; with CORE, I thought, "Cool, but too similar-ish" plus I didn't like the input style as well. Said to self: "You're done with Bit.Trip." But now: VOID looks sick. In a "I hope I never get well" kind of way. Bring it on.
Awesome! I love Bit.Trip
The ESRB just rated this game "E" meaning a release is coming soon for North America.
well, this is going in my list, since i will be getting all the games of the series
man i thought the first one was hard so i didn't get second because that looked like hell and this looks even worse!
best. looking. game. ever!
After seeing that trailer, I'd have to say this one will be extremly difficult.
Looks awesome and hard. Can't wait.
What's taking so long Nintendo?
I bet November 09.
I'll bet you're right.
all these bit trip games just seem ...yawn. Fun for a day ...maybe.
The gameplay is pretty different for each one, so I hope people aren't giving up on the series just because they didn't like Beat. Core is my favorite. Anyway, they're a good deal at $6 each, and they don't require you to own every game to enjoy the series.
Bit.Trip Core my favorite this far, Void I dont know if to download it.
The worst of the bit trips. Beat was excellent, Core was half decent, but this one just didn't do it for me. The main problem is that the music just didn't have enough sync with the game play. In the other games, especially Beat, you had to play totally in sync with the music. In this game, although the music is nice to listen to, it isn't a critical part of gameplay, and thats really what the first two Bit. Trips had going for them.
maybe its time for bit.trip to head on to the DSiWare as well
Oh shi-, appearently this comes out come Friday!
... 400 points short :/ I'll get this once I redeem points for Cave Story I guess.
Bit trip games are fick'n bomb
