Product Description
Featuring more than 20 missions in a variety of environments such as swamps, volcanos, gorges and deserts, players will outfit a Patapon army, collect resources, and grow their tribe into a devastating fighting force. Patapon presents a variety of warrior types, along with a wide selection of weapon and shield upgrades, that players will use to strategically customize and position their army as they progress through the funky adventure. Players will easily get caught up in the addictive action by collecting rare weapons and items as the adventure unfolds, and by earning more points to upgrade to new Patapons. Additionally, Patapon features five unique music-based mini-games to earn additional upgrades for the Patapon army. With vibrant character designs by popular French graphic artist, Rolito, Patapon introduces a unique, 2D art style incorporating abstract shapes, colorful environments, and larger-than-life boss enemies.
STORYLINE For years the Patapon tribe has lived in the desolate frontier, driven from their home by the evil Zigoton army. Behind the Patapons' cute exterior, lies a fierce warrior spirit that can only be commanded by the beat of their God's war drum. They wait for the day that the "Almighty" will return, to lead them against their enemies and bring them back to their homeland. Finally, their wait has come to an end as the drums of war are heard once again.

5 out of 5 stars patapon phenomenon   August 23, 2008
this is a great game. it allows you to explore your rhythmic side and your strategical side.
rhythmic side,being able to push the right buttons for the right notes and strategical side, by being able to customize your weapons for a better chance to win the battle. win the battle and get ka-ching [money], get ka-ching and get more customizable, strong patapons.

overall:
awesome game,might have some hard levels but worth the effort to win them
very easy to start a new game, and to understand the controls
will keep u busy for a long time!

enjoy!



5 out of 5 stars Addicting and Fun   August 13, 2008
I have to say,it's difficult to put this game down. Using your four main buttons on the PSP you tie together strings of rhythmic beats while the little Patapons keep the beat and repeat everything you hit. Each beat has it's own command that tells the warriors whether to attack, defend, move forward or start a special chant. Successfully completing a certain number of rhythms in a row will result in frenzy mode which makes the little guys attacks much faster. This game even comes with a great story line that is pretty easy to follow.
While fighting you'll even be able to pickup upgrades which will apply to certain warriors to help you progress in the game like armor, weapons new drums, food and materials for crafting new warriors. Lots of little side areas to to give variety to the game.
If you're looking for a fun and addictive, yet easy to play game try this.



5 out of 5 stars Fun and Cheap   August 4, 2008
I am not your normal video game junkie. The last real game I played was Link on Nintendo. I just can't stand most new(i.e. FPS) games. This game however, is fantastic. Just the right amount of strategy, mixed with the rythym part on the buttons, to make me play it all the way to the end. The graphics are cartoonish, but very crisp. I really like the little eyeball critters! And you will sing the chants in your sleep for weeks(Chicka chicka pata pon!). If you are looking for something new and different, you will love this.


4 out of 5 stars Great Fun!!   August 2, 2008
This is an extremely fun game. You guide your army on a variety of missions, whether it be hunting for food or marching them to battle, you command it all with the beat of your drum. You get to build your army, equip them and also build up Patopolis. Great stylized and simplistic art and really cool but simple game play. It's addictive but easy to pick up and put down. I'd give this to younger kids knowing they'd be able to play it and not get too confused. Great overall, recommended for anyone willing to try something new.


5 out of 5 stars One of the Best in 2008   July 22, 2008
The game is simple and elegant in nature and gameplay, and has its own unique art style that makes it look modern and/or appealing. Lead your mythical people into war. Singing and Dancing. Beat the war drum in bloody battles. Hypnotic play.
