Really Fun and Charming Game
I bought this game for my PS Vita (It runs well on the system). The game is really unique and fun. It's a mix of squad tactics and leveling your characters. You command three squads of 3 or 6 Patapons with various abilities. Then you can play through the campaign levels and go back and farm any area if you want more supplies to develop your Patapons. There's also a bunch of items available from enemy drops that you can use to arm your squads.The Patapons are really cute, and I always end up grinning while I'm playing. You drum out commands to them for defensive or offensive posture or to advance, then they do their own little battle chant following each command. The game has a certain difficulty because it's realy sensitive to how precisely you drum out each command. If you're just a tenth of a second off, you'll take a slight penalty. So you as a plyaer get better over time as your little army of Patapons develops.The learning curve is a little steep...

Great game
If you look carefully at all the other reviews the only reason they are rating it low is because there is no UMD and you have to buy off the PSN. Big deal. I will say that at times a manual to explain some things would be nice.Now to the game. This game is almost not really Patapon 2 but more like Patapon 1 redifined and expanded. There is no change in the graphics but there are significant changes to the 1st one with more classes of patapons, and more types of challanges. There are also more jujus and more materials to create your patapons from. They also incorporated an evolution tree to build your ultimate patapon (which includes not just different characteristics but now you can lvl the patapons with the materials thus increasing their strength). Therefore the base of the game is there and they simply expanded on it. They also added the hero class, which has several types of classes to choose from each with its special attack.My only major complaint is that the game...

The adventures of the brave Patapon tribe continues in Patapon 2. The highly anticipated sequel to Patapon, one of the best PlayStation Portable (PSP) games of 2008, Patapon 2 is packed with double the content of the first game, plus exciting new features sure to satisfy fans of the original. Continuing their search for the secrets of their ancient past, the Patapons find themselves on a strange island where they will encounter new enemies and creatures. As the Mighty Patapon, you must guide our small heroes through this dangerous new land with the power of rhythm.
The story of the Patapon tribe marches forth as they continue their hunt for the mysterious land of 'Earthend.' This time, after taking to sea to find the fabled realm of their ancient ancestors, they are shipwrecked on a new and strange continent and are depending on you, their god, to lead them safely through this perilous new land. As you guide the tribe through this new world using specific rhythmic commands tapped out on your mystical drum via the PSP's face buttons and equip your troops with weapons and armor, you will come face to face with a new tribe of enemies-the Karmen, encounter a mysterious and mighty Hero Patapon and uncover the ruins of Patapolis, a mystical place long spoke of in Patapon legend. Multiplayer One of the most exciting new elements of Patapon 2 is its inclusion of multiplayer via a PSP ad-hoc connection. Supporting up to four players, this play option actually consists of two modes containing a link to the single player campaign. During multiplayer action all players assume the role of the Hero Patapon, but are not limited to a single form. Players' Hero Patapons are fully customizable, able to take the shape of any of the Patapon warrior classes, and allowing players to show off their distinct, one-of-a-kind heroes to the world. Working together, players embark on a series of mission of increasing difficulty, designed to test their skills as individual warriors as well as team players. But even the most powerful of Patapon Heroes who venture into this online adventure will find that he/she needs something extra to carry the day. In a nod to the Karmen, the tribes' new enemy in Patapon 2, here players will ultimately have to don a ceremonial mask to obtain the strength to survive and succeed. But to secure a mask players will need to have obtained a certain item during their time spent playing through the game's single player campaign. Once produced players will have to work together to transform this item into the mask. Key Game Features:
Patapon 2 features new and improved 'Fever Mode' functionality. Fever Mode is a state in the game reached when players have successfully completed a certain number of consecutive combos, effectively ratcheting up their Patapons' fighting ability and efficiency in battle for as long as they continue adding successive combos. In the original Patapon, activating and maintaining this mode provided an ever growing rhythmic challenge as the game progressed, but was not necessarily manageable for all players. Patapon 2 eliminates this potential issue by giving players an option to play at an easier level until they get the hang of the game's rhythm, at which point they can switch back to the standard play mode if they wish. Also new with Patapon 2 is 'Fever Alert.' Through this players are kept aware of the agitation level of their Patapons via on-screen alerts, allowing for precious seconds needed to string together the necessary combos to extend Fever Mode when need be. |
Patapon 2: addicting & fun, even for rhythmically challenged
SHOULD YOU BUY THIS GAME?If you're into RPG, strategy, or rhythm games, this game is for you. If you don't know what the fuss is about, and are wondering if you should buy this game, I strongly recommend you download the demo. This game can be challenging to the rhythmically-challenged (RC), such as myself. However, playing the demo got me hooked, so i bought the game and haven't put it down in two days. If you are RC, this game may frustrate you, BUT Patapon 2 has implemented two major improvements over the first Patapon that makes P2 more enjoyable for those who can't keep rhythmn. Before i tell you about the improvements, here's some basic info about the game.BASICS: You control an army of cute one-eyed tribesmen and on each level you try to move them from the left side of the screen to the right in typical 2D side scrolling action. You will be faced with obstacles and enemies. You can attack, defend, and continue moving forward. This is where the rhythm part of...
