Reviews

"Like the first game, Patapon 2 is quite amazing. It's both more creative and deeper than the original, yet so simple to play. All you do is tap buttons to the beat to move your army and have it attack. In between missions, you outfit your troops with equipment and abilities. Patapon 2 adds some great new units, including the flying Toripon unit, and hero units with special abilities. Using these at the right moment in a fight can really save your ass.

Patapon 2 also has some great new levels. There is a lot more happening now, with more structures and forts and big ass monsters breathing fire on your loyal minions. As before, it's all wrapped up in a slick and unique art and music style. There's nothing else like Patapon out there."
