Patapon
21 July 2008, mid-morning
I finished Patapon yesterday night. The game is so very enjoyable. The concept behind Patapon is a little hard to explain: it’s part rhythm game, part strategy. You control an army of little eyeball men, and you get them to do stuff by banging out drum beats that correspond to keys on your PSP. You send them off to fight a rival army, hunt animals, or fight giant monsters. (The trailer may explain things better than I just have.) The story line is simple, but cute. The art style is awesome. The only issues I have with the game is that you can’t pause a battle mid-fight, which makes it a pain to stop playing on the go. Besides that it’s a great little game. If you have a PSP you should definitely grab a copy.
