Patapon



Patapon

A great new game for the PSP from SCEA, from the same guys who made LocoRoco. LocoRoco was funny, addictive and the music was childish/exciting. This one promises much more. As the mighty "Patapon", you've got to get your war drums rolling to the rhythm, keep up the beats and get your tiny soldiers worked up to a feverish pitch. The game involves strategy, concentration, intelligent use of materials and the demo promises a lot more to come on Mar 28.The other great thing about this game is the graphics. May look primitive, but is quite amazing and the animation blows you away sometimes. Simple, not stupid, small, not tiny , Patapon promises to be a great strategy/fun game. You have quite an army at your disposal with your Yaripons (Javelinmen/Spearmen), Tatepons (axemen) and archers / horsemen and others follow. Like you can see, they look like eyeballs with legs carrying weapons which you can upgrade from campaigns. Will keep me occupied for quite sometime when it comes out.
