I totally agree with this dude.
Demo came out yesterday and this game has mad wicked hooks.
Demo also has an exclusive weapon that you can bring to the full game as it lets you save your data after the end and you can continue from that point.
Patapon!

In that time, I've had a lot of fun games -- Lumines, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, etc. -- but in my opinion, Patapon is the greatest game this system has ever seen. There's a stunning art style, there's a super-deep equipment customization option for troops, the beats are catchy, there's a trumpet mini-game, the characters are cute, and there's such a tremendous feeling of accomplishment when you march through a level in Fever and wipe the floor with a boss larger than all of your forces combined.
For the past week, I've been coming to work, ranting about this game and watching the clock for when I can go home and play. The Patapons dance in my head and their beat rings in my ears. When I have this game in my hands and am watching the tribe march forward to hurl spears, I am truly happy.
Buy this game.

6 pages, too!
Need more exclamation points here.
Both threads are good actually. Maybe a merge can happen, but whichever wins must have lots of bold text and yelling.
Oh, wait, nevermind. I'm still waiting for my invisible shield to come in for my PSP because I make even more scratches in the friggin' screen.

The game looks like a shitload of fun, and it's pretty much solidified my plans to get a PSP as soon as possible.
best writing ever
US$19.95
Potentially the best game on the PSP and it's budget priced. Inconcievable! Soooo bought.
And I just finished the demo.
This is the greatest game evar.
The only thing I'm worried about is forgetting drum beats. My memories pretty horrible so I might have to get a notebook out and make some notes...

Fruit: Peaches, perhaps coconuts soon too!
Everyone must buy this game.
Do NOT bring Tatepons. They have a low damage output, and they tend to scare animals away. The Yuripons (Spear dudes) are CRAZY awesome at it. The Yumipons are great too if you can get to fever and stay there. They fire 3 arrows per attack in fever mode.
just tried it without them and got some meat finally!
Also i was having trouble maintaining fever mode but noticed that if you look at the edge of the screen it flashes at the proper beat. I used it as my guide and it was a cinch in fever mode! Thanks!

Gotta use the Playstation store download tool to use the XPD. Should be a FAQ or help near the download.
Yeah, that was the problem, thanks.
Man, I dumb.
I had a lot of trouble with this too. You need to have your PSP hooked up and in USB connection mode when you click on the xpd file as well.
1: I hope they're not hiding something like 10 more drum patterns in. They had the right idea making them simple and easy to remember, but there were a few times where I screwed up the attack beat. Keep them short, keep them simple, keep them happy.
2: For what amounts to a rhythm game, it's surprisingly tricky to keep a beat. I would say half the time I hit Fever, I would fuck up because their "Fee-vaaah" yell screws up the beat, making me start all over.
Other than that, holy crap, 20 bucks even in Canadia means it's bought. I'm actually dying to flip through the manual. I need to know what the hell these CNC and KB stats are between the different colour variations you can make.
Wow, this game is incredible.
While the $20 price tag makes it an instant buy, it also worries me: the Sony guys were saying it's because they want to get it to a potentially wider audience, but I sense that maybe it's really short or has some other reason a full $40 price tag would have produced some backlash review-wise. Also, censorship makes me a sad panda; in one of the trailers I watched the tree says "Listen to my song God DAMMIT."
Patapon AU$59.95
I heartily recommend that all AU gamers import a copy (via ebay and such) and avoid getting reamed on something that was supposed to be budget priced.
Last I checked the $AU was dancing around the US90c mark, so at the most this game should have cost AU$30, but instead its double.
The patapon demo is intoxicating. I played through it once normally but I didn't realize you could make super patapons by sacrificing different ingredients to the tree. I'm addicted now, and this is definitely bought'd.
The PSP is looking more and more awesome all the time, I might actually give my DS a black companion if you know what I mean.
You have an army of patapons comprised of 3 squads, each squad containing up to 6 of a certain type (archer, spearman, fighter, etc..)
You issue order to your patapons by "drumming" out certain rhythms, for example, advance is "square square square circle" (or pata pata pata pon), and attack is "circle circle square circle" (pon pon pata pon). Eventually you get drums for all four face buttons and a larger variety of war songs such as defense and retreat, as well as 'miracle' spells that you can bust out. If you don't miss any beats and chain up enough orders eventually your patapons go into a chirping, whirling fever of death where they start singing and whipping out special attacks as the background music ramps up as well. It's quite exciting.
The game is organized into small maps that take a few minutes to advance through, and you pick up money and spoils along the way. After you finish the map you return back to "Pataponia" and you can play minigames to earn more loot, talk to your patapons, create new patapons by sacraficing odds and ends you find, and probably more that isn't in the demo.
