Patapon 2: The Art of War Game Review–It WILL Stick In Your Head

March 28th, 2009 Posted in Casual, Music, Offbeat, Online, PC, Reviews by Steve Anderson


If you’ve ever played Patapon, you’ll be happy to know there’s a free to play version of Patapon 2: The Art of War out there, and you’ll be happy to know that it’s available on Newgrounds.  Not in fact stolen, but rather created as a public service for Sony to use to promote Patapon 2.

In Patapon 2: The Art of War, you’ll take command of a legion of tiny little creatures and send them marching off to battle.  You’ll have essentially two commands, executed by a drum rhythm–march forward with pata pata pata pon (left left left right on your keypad) and attack with pon pon pata pon (right right left right on the keypad).  You’ll gather an army, take out a tower and kill a dragon in your three-stage sample quests.

Simple, clever and catchy beyond all reason or common sense, this short game should get somebody a job with Sony, because it’s pretty sweet.  It’s got ME interested, and music games are not normally my speed.

One caveat, however–the title is NOT just hyperbole in headline form.  The tune WILL lodge in your head.  Good luck getting it out; took me nearly two days to forget pata pata pata pon…oh great.  Now it’s BACK.
