The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Whereas some music games imitate Guitar Hero, Patapon dares to be different by blending rhythm with intense action strategy. Build up your army, equip them for battle and beat the drums of war as you lead your patapon across the earth. As the Mighty Patapon, you use a number of beats that tell your army what to do, and to be successful, you'll anticipate your enemies moves and time the beats correctly, building up combos to win. With loads of challenge, stylistic visuals and a catchy if not minimalist soundtrack, Patapon succeeds in creating something wonderful.
