I was just curious, are they still doing the Atari-style challenges at the end of each level (not necessarily the same graphics, but the concept). If they aren't, I might actually 100% complete this one!

Probably not...

Man, this looks like fun. Commander Video looks weird with running shoes on... but if you asked me why that was, I couldn't tell you.
I'm going to buy this game for sure because I'm a huuuge fan of the series, but there's definitely something missing when compared to the original Runner. I'm not sure if it's the bland, washed-out colours, generic-looking stages and items or the fact that this just looks much easier. The music sounds awesome, as always.
I wonder how this game would have looked with hand-drawn 2D stuff like Rayman Origins or WarioLand: Shake it?

I'm hoping that this art style is one of many, ala the Pac Man CE DX, or Super Mario Crossover 2.0. As it stands, I would far prefer the original Runner look to this one. They really should have kept it in strictly 2d. I also extremely agree with MetaTotoro, in that if they went the Rayman Origins route, it would have looked superb, even if the drawing wasn't up to RO's caliber. Oh, and as for the music.. I don't like it as much either.
I can see why fans of the classic Bit.Trip art style might not be get the feeling that they want from Runner 2's new art direction, but trust me, one you actually play the game, the old Runner feeling comes back [i]hard[.i].
Runner was the first game in the series to show Commander Video and his world in a concrete, literal form. Runner 2 is just a continuation of that process.
The world of Runner 2 feels like a live, breathing place, and it's awesome.

It'd be nice if we could get the PAX demo to try out too on PSN/XBLA. I mean, Capcom lets us test and play their unfinished games all the time, then they release a Super version with balancing fixes and extras. Oh no I di'int just go there XD
I think the new art style looks fantastic, I can really tell that the artists went crazy with this one. I think it would be really cool if some of the other Bit.Trip games got sequels with their own unique visual styles. Really excited about this one!
I really want to get excited for this, as I dig the series and especially LOVE the last Runner game... but the art style makes my soul weep. It just doesn't match up to the music (which is still awesome) in the same way it used it.

I love the art style personally. Gives me a Noid/California Raisins type of vibe. But newer and prettier.
I'm sure the art style will grow on me, It certainly sounds like the music flows a lot better in this one.
I never liked Runner as much as the other games. But it had more to do with the short levels and the 5 modes that constantly change the music and it feels like a cut-off bleep blopping where you change to the next mode the second you think an actual melody comes.
This is a far cry from the masterpiece that is FLUX. I'll play it for sure but I'm absolutely not excited from what I see and hear.
Don't get me started on the art...

Sorry Holmes, I can already tell that it plays like Runner.. Might be why it is called Runner 2. That graphics are plain shitty by any standards. Runner had a much better look. This looks absolutely terrible.
