    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

    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

    Patapon 2 PSP Price: $49.95 Classification: G Rating: 4 out of 5 Those tiny, eyeball-ish creatures, the Patapon, continue their march towards Earth's End, guided every step of the way by you, the player. As the silhouette-like terrain scrolls from left to right, your small army runs a gauntlet of challenges, including feisty enemy forces, destructible barriers, unpredictable beasts and even extreme weather conditions. The four face buttons on the PSP represent different... Read more
