Ingenius game design but novelty wears off fast. 0
I probably would have enjoyed Patapon more if it weren't a portable game and I weren't trying to squeeze in sessions on the subway or at my girlfriend's house while she's watching TV or in situations that I typically make use of my PSP. Being a rhythm-strategy game, Patapon requires your full attention for extended periods of time (some levels 10 minutes or longer) and it's not something you can play on the go with other distractions.But it sure makes a great first impression. Gameplay is lively...

Patapon: Cute, addictive fun... 0
I bought this game after finishing God of War: Chains of Olympus in a ridiculous time, and was looking for something to entertain me on the journey to and from work. To be perfectly honest, this game has provided that and so much more. The aim of the story is to lead the Patapon tribe to IT, whatever that is, which lies at Earthend. On the way you'll be smashing up some angry bosses, fending off the Zigatons, as well as making sure your army is well fed and watered. The gameplay mechanic puts ...

Patapon : a stroke of genius 0
Is it just me or are new, original, exiting games a rarity? There are games like Okami, Loco Roco and Ico that can breath new life onto a console. You don’t get many games like that anymore, you get sequels and new IP’s that can end up bad. Not that sequels are bad, just look at God of War 2 and Call of Duty 4. And new IP’s can be really good aswell just look at Bioshock and Uncharted Drakes Fortune, they were phenomenal. But then look at TimeShift and Kane & Lynch, which aren’t that good. ...

Pon Pon Pata Pon! 0
Patapon is an overall great game with a couple of rough points in it, but I can't wait for the sequel.The stile of the game made the graphics look amazing and for only twenty dollars the game is a grate value. The catchy songs will easily get stuck in your head. Also the boss battles are fascinating and may take a little strategy to win some of the later levels. If you're not musical it could take a little bit for you to get the rhythm down ,but when you do you will easily get sucked into the ga...

A shiny pearl of innovation 0
Let's say it right from the start: this game is AMAZING.You lead the Patapon tribe in their effort to break free from the evil Zigatons. You play the role of their god and you lead them by rhythmically beating on different drums (mapped to the PSP face buttons) to give them orders.It starts out like a simple rhythm game but after a few stages, its strategic nature surfaces as you are presented with various choices of units, equipment and divine powers to face the different challenges the game th...

This game gets annoying... 0
This is a cute little game, but when you get down to the nitty gritty it is a music based game that you need to listen to the beats. But besides the beat you are laying down there are external noises that can throw you off, and that is the were the game gets annoying. There are some other options that i wish were available, i.e. getting rid of a patapon for a better one, because with out that option you can be stuck with sucky patapon for the entire game which makes it difficult. Its just an ok ...

Patapon – A review for the rhythm impaired. 1

Those glory days are now over and it’s up to you to lead their army to victory once again, you are going to achieve this by hitting the buttons to a four beat tempo. As you progress along the game you are going to acquire songs that consist of four beats, this songs help you give commands to your army. There is a song to advance (pata-...

SCE Japan's Cave of Wonders 0
SCE Japan Categorising Patapon is a pretty difficult task – the game has shades of almost every genre that’s been proven popular on the PSP. At its heart, though, it’s a God game with shades of real-time strategy, as well as a keen rhythm / action hybrid, with RPG aspects lightly blended in. Oh, and there are a few rhythm minigames thrown into the mix as well, although they back up the RPG elements more than anything else, as your success in these games is rewarded with increasingly rare items...

Original concept makes it worthwhile for the open minded. 0
First of all let me say that a rhythm based tactical combat game mixed with a simple cryptic story will not appeal to everyone. However the game is refreshing in its own way. You have not played anything exactly like patapon and the gameplay itself seems viable, it just goes to show how many more possibilities there are in game development. You start the game by playing some easy missions just to teach you a few basic rhythms that you will use to command your patapon army. You later learn...
