Fun.

There is a demo on the PlayStation Store for Patapon.

Can't get into PSN or the store with custom firmware.

I'll go read a review for first one quick...

Hmm... praise is high, but I just don't see the draw in tapping the face buttons to a rhythm. I'll give the demo a shot though...

Well, I think it has the second highest Metacritic rating for the PSP.

It is more than just a rhythm game. It has RPG elements as you level up your soldiers with items and even create more powerful soldiers. It also has resource management elements as you can create a couple of somewhat strong character now to move you through the next few levels quicker, or struggle now so that when you get more rare resources you can create extremely powerful units that will last you much longer.

It also has side mini-games that act as side missions to obtain more resources.

They should do a Patapon PSN game for PS3

It definitely needs a pause. Otherwise it makes the game impossible to play if others are nearby and may wish to speak to you off and on.

PATAPON 2: It’s Pata-Pata-Pata-ON!!!!
Posted by Chris Hinojosa-Miranda // Associate Producer, SCEA

Dear peoples of the PlayStation Blog, RSS subscribers, Twitterers and beyond –

It brings me great pleasure to inform you that yesterday marked the anniversary of a very special day in Patapon history…P-DAY.

It was a year ago (plus one day) that millions of spear-wielding, music-loving, monster-fighting, stew-making, desert-crossing, drum-beating Eyeballs invaded homes across America with their hypnotic mind-altering songs. It was on that day that the skies darkened with spears and arrows; it was this day that Zigoton blood saturated the earth. Many Patapon’s fell during the great battle for Earthend… and those who survived… well you know how the story ends.

So to honor this great and momentous holiday, this Day of days, we here at SCEA feel that its only fair to officially announce that the tribal drums of war have started to beat once again… the dark hour of dance-battle is upon us…

Patapon 2 is in the horizon! Oh-Yeah!

(Click the link for the trailer which belongs here)

The team has worked hard to create a sequel worthy for all the Pata-Fans out there. We doubled the missions you play, amped up the number of bosses, added more Patapon troops, and revamped the Patapon evolution system to Darwinian levels.

Oh, and we added Multiplayer. WOO-HOO!!!

I know you all must have millions of questions, so know this: in the coming weeks we will be posting more Patapon 2 features, screenshots and gameplay videos and other sweet Pata-news right here on this Pata-channel. Fun news like…

PATAPONS ARE INVADING LITTLEBIGPLANET!

So get excited and mark your calendars! No longer will you have to resort to Kittens to pass the time cause we got more great things to come as we all march to launch!
