This is exactly what I need…maybe. Patapon is a rhythm/action game for the PSP, where timed button presses rally troops, mount attacks, and set defenses for the highly stylish Patapon army. It looks like chains of well-timed responses to the on-screen prompts lead to more effective actions on the part of these diminutive warriors.
As a gamer who always seeks some sort of motivation in order to perform the tasks set forth for me, I feel like Patapon may have the ability to draw a new crowd to the rhythm genre. Look for this game on February 12th in the States, and on store shelves right now in Japan. Check it out:
