Patapon Review

MIG-31

For a rhythm geek, it's refreshing to see gamers at large taking to beats en masse nowadays. Wherever it came from--Rock Band, Guitar Hero, what have you--this far-reaching integration of sound and music into gameplay is one that grows more prolific with each passing year.

And it's a good thing, too, because without this surge it's unlikely that a game like Patapon would have ever reached our shores, and that'd be a damn shame. Not only is Interlink's Patapon one of the best representatives of the rhythm genre, it's also one of the finest games yet created for the PSP.
