This game for the playstation portable was designed and made by the same developers as Loco roco. Which lets be fair was an addictive brilliant game!! The box is a yellow/orange colour with the small eye ball warriors on the front. Very eye catching indeed. Now this game is a rhythm based game. You have to guide your little guys into fights throughout the levels. Your little troops look like eyeballs with arms, legs and weapons. They do actually look very good, although simple but very effective. The graphics as I just mention are relatively simple, nothing in 3d here. But none the less they are more than adequate and with the style of game look ...  Read the complete review

This game is possibly one of the most frustrating yet fun games on offer on the PSP. The basic idea is that you control an army of eyeballs, which you build up by collecting materials, and try and defeat other eyeball type armies and an array of large monsters. This process is done by, from what I can tell, a combination of good rhythm and a whole load of luck. Let me explain. To make your Patapon army move, attack, defend etc... you have to hit a combination of PSP buttons in a set order in time with the beat of the game. This gets a small amount of explanation in the game but I found it was a large case of practice makes perfect. You aim to continue to hit ...  Read the complete review

Patapon is another game for the PSP that increasingly demonstrates Sony's attempts to branch out and offer "quirky" games like Nintendo have made an art out of. It is a pretty successful effort, though; a rhythm game that incorporates RTS elements, with you controlling four different drums, which when played to the noted rhythms, will control an army for you, and the goal is to maintain the rhythm to keep the army marching to their goal. Is the idea nuts? Absolutely. But does it work? Yes. This isn't a game with supreme depth, but the RTS (Real Time Strategy) elements mesh a lot better than I ever expected they would. Aside from marching the army, ...  Read the complete review

With the PSP being a handhled console, it can't help but have a lot of puzzle games out for it. This is another one. Although this is very distinct & unusual. Paptapon is a puzzle game that has been crossed with a musical game. It is viewed in 2d from the side like Lemmings or Worms. You control a group of soldiers on screen called Patapons. They are capable of different actions like advance, attack or retreat. The thing that makes this game realyl novel is the way you issue your instructions. No traditional point & click here. Each of the 4 buttons on the psp represents a drum beat. An instruction is 4 of these drum beats one after the other. Which ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game as it was made by the same people that made Lococroco, and I wasn't disappointed, the music, sounds and graphics are excellent. It's a rhythm based game (like Parappa the Rapa) where you guide your patapons (troops) fighting through a variety of levels. You control your little eyeball troops (they look really cool - see the cover) by tapping in specific 4 beat rhythms on the psp face buttons. And depending on which buttons you press depends on what action they do, attack, defend, march etc. It must all be in time to the quirky music though or they will just look at you a little confused. If done correctly they chant they rhythm back to ...  Read the complete review
