Patapon

You knew they were on the move; now, they’re here. The Patapon are a tiny tribe, eager to conquer their foes – and they need you to lead them through a colourful world quite unlike any other. However, there’s a catch – they only understand rhythms.

Patapon is a new type of game where rhythm - not button-bashing or special moves – is key. The aim is to lead the Patapon through missions such as hunting enormous beasts and taking enemy castles – communicating your commands by beating different rhythms on your PSP buttons. Each of the four PSP buttons makes a different beat – it’s down to you to combine them into commands that translate into orders to attack, defend and so on. As the game goes on and you get better, you’ll learn more and more signals to control your Patapon.

You’ll lead your tribe through stacks of different missions - each mission requires you to equip your Patapon with the kit they’ll need, choosing from a hundred different items ranging from swords to hot air balloons. The key to Patapon success is striking the right balance of these different tools for each mission – and, of course, getting your beats right. With 30 different environments to conquer and 50 different styles of mission – as well as extra downloadable content – you’re going to love the Patapon beat on PSP, the handheld entertainment system that offers gaming, web access, movies, music, photos and more.

Key features:

• A unique, original game designed specifically for PSP – there’s no other title like this on the market.
• Cool graphic style – developed by cult graphic artist Rolito, distinguished by his work with PlayStation and MTV among others.
• An experience you can’t put down - the rhythm is going to get you. These catchy beats won’t let you get the Patapon drums out of your head…
