The next game I wanna purchase:

Use drum beats along with a cute and catchy soundtrack to deliver warfare.
You control Lil Cute Eyeballs armed for battle and fight monsters and other armies.
I haven't got the plot yet, but the gameplay got me hooked. Check the video below.


From what I can tell, is that you have to fight these red dudes and destroy their fortresses. You bring along siege weapons, shoot volleys of arrows and fight enemies twice your size!


Well, more than twice your size. Look at the size of that crab!


Some really funky rhythm minigames!


It's like a clever combination of Cute and Violence with Epic fantasy in the mix! Add that with the Most Spectacular 2D graphics for a handheld, this might be the game that will match the popularity of Loco Roco! (Yes, the game looks kiddy but I like that idea where you take control of the planet and save little singing Jelly things, and can't fight, by tilting with the L and R buttons. But still a unique experience!)

Here's a video of the PATAPON Trailer. Don't be surprise on how kiddy-ish it is. Come on, who would make war game for kids?
O wait, I forgot about Narnia.
Looking at the vid, I'd say it'll be an enjoyable experience for Kids and Adults alike.
Can you believe that this game is targeted for girls? What are they, nuts?



*UPDATE*

Found another video which covers some of the story in Patapon. An intro to the game.



One upon a time,
The Patapon Ancients, by the power of Almighty's drum,
gained Wisdom, Courage, Strength, and Miracle.
The Patapon Ancients,
guided by Almighty,
ventured to Earthend, in search of IT.

For the
almighty Patapons, no foe was too mighty,
no treasure out of reach, and no
land unconquerable.
The Ancients fought bravely in the name of Almighty,
and spawned legends which lasted generations.

But today, the
Patapons are far from their former glory...
