Interesting, unique and fun.July 13, 2008 idle gamer I really enjoy this game its simple and has a musical toon that will stick with you long after you finish the game, but thats a good thing. The point of the game is to hit buttons with the beat to command your native army to move or attack. Its simple, fun and u can play for short bursts of 10min which I like a lot. Even my sisters son thats 11 years old liked the game even though its a little cartoony for his taste.
Definitely different ;-)July 11, 2008 Bec's Mum(Pgh, PA) This game is so wierd it's actually cute - loads of fun! It's kind of a "Simon" sort of thing at the beginning - you match the rythm the game sets for you - the square border around the screen will flash the beat and you copy it, then as you progress it gets more involved and harder. I love the graphics and colors in the scenery too, but MAN does the "PATA-PATA-PATA-PON!" chant get hopelessly stuck in your head!! LOL Addictive little game, really nice for $20.
A rare game I couldn't force myself to stick withJune 4, 2008 Michael Rothermich(Hermann, MO) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Typically read a lot about a game before I buy. I like RPGs and was intrigued by the rhythm component after thoroughly enjoying Puzzle Quest (a very different but also "mixed" type game). Found out I apparently don't have any rhythm. Gave up on the game after several hours and the first 5-6 levels. Never qualified as fun for me. Gathering levels were too repetitive, but main complaint was that in order to do well in the battles and keep my army in "Fever" I had to ignore what was going on in the battles to focus solely on keeping with the rhythm. That is, when I had overpowering force and was decimating the enemy, I couldn't watch my minion wreaking havoc, but had to keep focused on the screen border to not loose the beat. Obviously given it's popularity, non-rhythm challenged people are not having the same problem.
good short gameMay 31, 2008 John S.(Seattle, WA USA) This game was quite fun for about a week. That's how long it takes to go through the game to the end. The story itself isn't all that interesting. The game play however is very innovative. It's a real-time beat based strategy game. You need to drum out your commands to the patapons as you attack, defend, run away, or psychic yourself up for an attack. So, timing is very important. It's very easy to learn and can get into it pretty easily. However, the whole game is like a tutorial in other games. As you go through the different stages, different patapons are available to you and other resources.
However, the usefulness of the different patapons are in question and why there's no further game play, such as one-on-one matches. In short, this game is good for about a week and then things just get repetitive. No discovery of new levels, units or spells.
One thing I can say is that they spent more time on the graphics, which is quite good. The artistic aspects of this game are outstanding. The music is slightly different for each of the stages and the background for each of the stages are very tastefully done.
Buy this game if you like to play a new type of game and enjoy the little eyes fighting big monsters. Seems like this was geared towards girls as you can find japanese TV adverts on youtube.
Also, checkout the walk throughs through google search.
PSP Must haveMay 28, 2008 Srinath Padmanabhan I bought this after reading reviews at gamespot. It is a wonderful game. Just keep one thing in mind you cant play the game without volume. So if you want a game to play during travel, you better gave a great pair of headphones :)
