Default Patapon

So I just picked this game up last week, and it's got me hooked.

I haven't been this fascinated by a game like this in quite some time. It's hard to classify just what it is. It's got RTS, rhythm, RPG elements all combined together in a heady mix.

The characters are excessively cute, the music is infectious, and the gameplay is simple to learn yet deep.

Can not recommend this game enough. If you own a PSP, GET THIS GAME.

IGN gave it 9.2, and I have to agree.
IGN: Patapon Review

This really is the best game available on the PSP, bar none (God of War : Chains of Olympus is going to give it a serious run for its money in a couple days, but we'll see!).

I played the demo when it came out a couple weeks ago, and it was fun. I will probably get around to picking up the game at some point in time.

Yeah, I'll second this. This is a real fun game. I played it a lot before my brother gummed up my circle and triangle buttons...

You should get it. It's infectiously fun, in a Parappa the Rapper sort of way.

I'm now about 80% complete, taking the time to go through and pick up rare materials for the reaaaaaaally good Patapons and reaaaaally good gear.

I was able to pick up on that from the demo. It was the sort of game where the music haunted my mind for several hours after playing it.

There is a demo available for it that you could get off the PC version of the Playstation Store.

It probably will require a firmware update if you're using an older one.

You all might have told me it requires a firmware update.
