    Fate is much more frantic than its modest graphics might suggest.

    They have done it again. Bit.Trip Fate is a completely new twist in the series, a fifth entry which shows freshness and almost no links with previous games.

    There's absolutely no denying that BIT.TRIP FATE is a radical departure from the platforming romp of the previous release, BIT.TRIP RUNNER, but gamers who put in the time to come to grips with the slightly more in-depth controls will likely find it every bit as engaging.

    Fate is another solid entry in the series just watch out for those insane boss battles.

    Bit.Trip FATE is another great entry into Gaijin Games' stellar Wii-Ware series only held back by an unbalanced difficulty level.

    The music in Fate is dark, ominous, and really cool.

    It's not a bad game by any means. Fans of the series will still enjoy it but don't expect the same insane difficulty that makes the other games so engrossing.

    It's amazing how a simple, new idea is capable to reverse a solid and structured type of gameplay, but Gaijin is skilled in this process. Although not as balanced and enjoyable as "Runner", Bit.Trip Fate is a compelling audio-visual experience in perfect Gaijin-style.

    If you like "on-rails" shooters, this is a great game. If you hate this genre of games, you will hate this game, and stop reading this reviewIf you like "on-rails" shooters, this is a great game. If you hate this genre of games, you will hate this game, and stop reading this review now. Overall this is my 2nd favorite Bit.Trip game, and is a ton of fun. It is definitely a difficult game, but I keep coming back for more because of the addicting simplicity of it, combined with the brilliant soundtrack.

    This is honestly the most casual of the Bit.Trip games. You can just take it easy and blast everything out of existence without much trouble on the first several levels, though boss fights are challenging (enough). The powerups are excellent, and I feel like this is the most rewarding of all the Bit.Trip games when it comes to replay value.
