Patapon 2

The first Patapon was an infectiously addictive title that perfectly combined rhythm and strategy gaming into one sweet package. Now, the sequel is here and it has me chanting with joy all over again. With more content and gameplay, it's a must-have title for PSP owners.

THE VERDICT by Tae K. Kim Tae K. Kim's Avatar Assigning Heather the Patapon 2 was a serious mistake because she would not stop playing it during work hours. Do you know how jealous we got listening to the sounds of "Pata-pata-pata-pon" coming from her cube; it got so bad that we nearly moved her desk outside so we could get some peace. After reading her review, it's obvious that they've managed to capture the addictive fun of the original, which means I'll be getting my hands on it as soon as I can. Then, I'm going to camp out near Heather's cube and play it when she's trying to do something important. I can't freaking wait.

A Fever You Can't Sweat

The first Patapon concluded with the lovable Pons sailing away into distance, victorious and free. The sequel finds the Pons shipwrecked on a strange new land after a heated battle with a sea creature; unfortunately for our plucky little heroes, this land is also inhabited by the masked beings known as the Karmen. You take on the role of the Pon leader who must deal with the antagonistic villains while figuring out a way to resume your journey towards Earthend.

If you loved the original then get ready because Patapon 2 offers a whopping 80 missions as well as an array of mini-games. The main mode retains the feel of the original, with you marching your Pons across the playing field using various drum beats. Each action, whether it's advancing your troops or attacking an enemy, has a different pattern that you have to beat out on your drums. The mini-games, which are incredibly fun and cute, are a welcome diversion but they also reward you with supplies and upgrades that will help you progress through main levels.

Rancid B.O. is redundant, Rudden. It's like saying you got a cheap Woot shirt.
