    Ultimately, this is a deceptive product. It looks infantile, but it's epic in scope. It's no cakewalk, either - even on the easiest setting, you can still expect to get spanked if you make a wrong move. For while the Patapons obey you, you must obey the drums - Patapon 2 makes you a slave to the music. Read more

    • Doesn't mess with the winning formula of the original, Enough new units and items to keep things interesting, Cheeky sense of humour, Amazing graphics and sound
    • Still quite difficult, even on easy, Not much else

    8.0/10

    Patapon 2 doesn't drastically change the formula, but substantial tweaks have been made across every aspect of the game. The hero abilities add a new layer to the core gameplay, the new units are brilliantly realised, and the multiplayer game mode is a welcome addition to the series. If you've yet to check out Patapon, then there's still nothing else out there quite like it, and players of the previous game should find new things to love in the sequel. Read more

    • Hero abilities add a new layer to the gameplay, Excellent audio and visuals, Multiplayer is fun and offers new items, Incredible number of varied mission types.
    • New branching evolution system can be fiddly.

    Patapon 2 is a game you really have to play to understand what it's on about… and even then you probably won't have any more clue… but at least you'll be grinning from ear-to-ear. A great title, regardless of whether you go for the UMD or PSN version. Read more
