GAMEGUIDEDOG.COM NOW PROVIDES A complete and best online walkthrough strategy game guide for: Patapon. This precise WALKTHROUGH GAME STRATEGY GUIDE is/will be available for you right in your members area and compatable for the Playstation Portable PSP platform.
Every now and then, gamers are treated to a title that's so engaging, so enjoyable and so indescribable that it's hard to put your finger on it. Sony has capitalized on this situation time and time again with their rhythm games, literally creating the genre. For example, they introduced the rapping beats of Parappa the Rapper in 1997. This was soon followed by Vib Ribbon two years later which re-invented music tracks as game levels. Frequency and its follow-up proved that keeping time with tunes was engaging and fun. Now comes the most recent rhythm title from Sony – a little UMD disc known as Patapon, which is not only one of the best rhythm games ever released, it's also one of the best titles for the PSP.
The Patapons have a very unassuming appearance. Their small, cycloptic frames belie their fierce warrior spirit which made them strong enough to force evil from their land. Unfortunately, the glory has long been lost, as the Patapons have been driven from their homeland by the evil Zigoton army. Even worse, their inspiration, a deity that they revered and called "Almighty," disappeared with their magical drums that motivated them, causing the Patapons to fall into disarray. Only one of the tribe known as Hatapon believed that Almighty would return to lead them to glory, and when the god does return, Hatapon picks up the banner of the tribe and leads his tribesmen against the Zigotons.
At the onset, the game seems deceptively easy. The game quickly gives you the first drum beats for marching forward and attacking. A thin square outlines the screen, blinking with the beat of the background music; you use this to time your button presses. Timing is everything, and you must input the correct sequence in time with the beat to execute the move you want. In-game controls amount to little more than this, so you'll be able to give your full attention to issuing commands. The trick comes from building up combos so that you can activate Fever mode, which boosts your stats and is necessary to implement other drum commands later in the game.
It gets tricky anticipating the enemies' movements, requiring that you remain one step ahead. If you think a boss will attack, for instance, you had better tap the beats for a defensive maneuver before it pounces. This might mean that you'll have to replay levels a few times, since harder enemies can quickly deplete your army. You will also need to plan your troop layout before each mission. Replaying levels is key to success, so that you can earn more money, supplies, weapons and armor to appropriately outfit your patapons for war. You then need to make sure that they are in the proper formation for the task at hand. For instance, if you go hunting, you probably want the ax-wielding patapon away from the front, because they might scare the prey. Alternatively, if you're going up against a fire-breathing dragon, and another type of patapon is susceptible to fire, you might want to make sure they're in the rear for that level.
