August 11, 2009 - Good - It takes you about three seconds to learn how to play it and it takes quite a few mistakes before you hit a game over, but this is a remarkably intense, challenging game.

August 26, 2009 - Good - Bit.Trip.Core is a fun and challenging game, especially for only 600 Wii Points. It feels like there are some missed opportunities in the title, but it is fun to play.
