So, I finally got Patapon. There’s not much I can say about it that the video below doesn’t already explain. You tell the patapons to do certain actions by beating on your drums (in 4/4 time, usually.) Most of it just requires you to be able to keep a beat (which is a bit harder than it sounds,) although some commands require you to do a bit more work.

One thing I didn’t think of was how hard the game could be sometimes XD. Especially since it’s really easy to get slightly off beat when you’re in fever mode. Ealier in the game, being in fever mode isn’t that big of a deal. But later, messing up can really screw you over :-/ By screw you over, I really mean, you really want to get it back before you forces dwindle a lot when facing an onslaught.

In my opinion, the only annoying part of the game is some of the lack of direction they give you. For example, when they tell you that you need a certain juju in order to pass certain levels, you don’t really know exactly where that is (you can usually find them by killing certain animals.) Besides that, I would call it a nice pick-up-and-play game.
