I agree OP, it's annoying and boring. The gameplay concept might have supported a decent flash game, but a full-blown PSP game with a sequel? No.

Let me guess, you'd rather have a game where you run around and mindlessly kill people for no inherent reason?

not just "on the list" but "on top of the list". Patapon2 is actually IGN's best PSP game of all time.

Me too. It is actually one of the few games I won´t trade. Patapon 1 was pretty easy to complete but the sequel has proven itself too bee hard and I have yet to complete it.

How does one describe theevolution of taste and how it is culturedover the years?

If we all liked the same thing, looked the same way, dressed in similar fashion, well, then I suppose we would be living out some Orwellian nightmare. Wouldn't you say that to be the case? Diversity is what makes life interesting, at least to me. And while I appreciate getting on "SOCOM" and making new ventilation holes in the side of some punter's cranium, I couldn't live on a game like that alone.

I bought "Patapon" on a whim when I found it used for $12.99 (must have been a banner week at work to blow my bread like that). I took the game home and it sat on my shelf along with a few other titles I had stocked for a rainy day and eventually, it found it's way into my PSP. I'm not a music game fan although I played "REZ", then "Frequency", "Amplitude", and eventually became pretty good at "Guitar Hero" simply because my roommate and other friends were playing those games so I'm more than familiar with the formula. But "Patapon" breaks out of those conventional music formulas in ways that make the game fresh even though it's rhythm-based in nature. There are strategic elements to your attacks as far as which warriors and other support units and where you set them in your formation, and I must say that the artwork is fairly unique on the platform, and evokes "Samurai Jack" impressions that make me smile like a baby with gas. Combine that with the infectious theme, and to me you have a very fresh, different game to play for when shooting people in the mellon gets old.

Not everyone likes Vanilla ice cream. That's why there's chocolate, strawberry, and the like. If you don't like vanilla then no problem, just step down the counter and I'm sure someone will be glad to serve you some strawberry. There's nothing wrong with the game or the people who play it any more than there's something deficient about a SOCOM player...

... although if you listen to the racist, homophobic nonsense on the headset being tossed around, you might come to a slightly different conclusion...

... But the world of games is wide and varied, and I say thank the powers that it is, and that we have such a vast multitude of flavors to find and combine out there as consumers.

Right?

i rented patapon and i had a good time playing it for week. and I liked the demo of the sequel. people like it because its a unique game. there are not many games like patapon. why do people like any type of game? everyone has different taste. Read the reviews, try the demo, decide for yourself. end of thread....

I think it's a great game, but you kind of have to move along before it gets fun because thats when the customizing starts getting really fun

I personally didn't like it, but I'm not gonna bash people for enjoying it. The game has a cool concept, but I just couldn't get into it is all.

I have played Patapon before and I didn't like it. It felt pretty boring and I got tired of it very quickly. The idea that the game is trying to bring is innovative, though.

I've played and liked the original Patapon- it wasn't bad. The aesthetic was charming- equipping and setting up your army tended to be fun as well.

The main problems were that spells were way too hard to pull off, the unfortunately necessary extensive replaying of hunting levels was a major turn off, and the game's rythym was sometimes inconsistent- leading toa fewmajor control issues.

These problems were the main reasons that Patapon is unquestionably in the 'love it or hate it' territory.

Suffice to say- I still liked Patapon. But not enough to have any interest in replaying it or buying the sequel.
