Forums - Sony Discussion - Patapon get a 9.2 from IGN and Editor's Choice Award!

http://psp.ign.com/articles/852/852601p3.html

9.0 Presentation
From the story to the mini-games and its action sequences, Patapon is an enthralling underdog tale with excellent characters.
9.5 Graphics
Visually engaging, it feels like you're playing a cartoon instead of a videogame.
9.5 Sound
The songs will get stuck in your head for days – not in an annoying way, but in a toe-tapping, giddy and mind-pleasing manner.
9.0 Gameplay
Simple mechanics belie deep gameplay through the adventure, although it would be much better if you could pause and buy weapons and gear with items or Ka-Ching.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Put the game down, and five minutes later you'll want to pick it back up. The only thing possibly hampering you is the amount of time you can dedicate to one game session.
9.2
Outstanding
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

 

That is pretty impressive!  Patapon looks like a great game, but I am still glad to see reviewers feel it deserves such a high score.  I thought it might just be a niche title, but with scores like this it will definitely have sold more units than before.

 Who is going to buy this?  I am still itching for a PSP.  Maybe I will break down and buy one by the end of the year.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

i dint see ny info on this cause i dint bother to look but i hear bout it more and more so im in deliberation mode bout it



I HATE THE DEMO, I'VE ONLY BEATEN IT ONCE, BUT I KID YOU NOT I'VE PLAYED IT LIKE 30 TIMES XD I need this game to hurry up! It's so addictive!



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

yeah i played the demo and this game knocks it out of the park! must buy for PSP owners



The addition for demos for the PSP is a badass feature I must say. Very progressive and innovative on Sony's part, although it theoretically could have happened sooner.

Hmm, I wasn't really looking forward to this because of being constantly compared to LocoRoco, but after reading up on it and seeing a few videos, I think it may be worth a buy.



I should be the demo playing very soon



I've got to grab the demo, but even if I don't play it before release, i'll buy this game off the scores alone. It secured Game of the Month rights in EGM over Devil May Cry 4 also. Sony is finally coming together and giving PSP owners what we've wanted...original software.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.



Just another game that's making me wish I had a deeper wallet so I could just run out and pick up a PSP regardless of bills and other more demanding costs.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

God, i need to finish my thesis so I can break down and buy a PSP. Too many good games!
