Forums - Sony - IGN Review: Patapon 2... 9.5/10!!!

9.0 Presentation
The storybook opening leads into the same easy to navigate base camp, but this time you get explanations on how most stuff works. You're not totally on your own anymore.
9.0 Graphics
I was a bit bummed to see many of the same bosses pop up, but the new ones are intricate, the environments are colorful and the animations are slick.
9.5 Sound
There are new drum challenges for the tribe and that leads to a bunch of new songs that they sing back. The tunes are still cute, infectious and awesome.
9.5 Gameplay
The drum-based gameplay is as fun as ever, the mini-game levels are a beautiful touch that makes the experience varied and the resource-grinding never feels like a chore.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Again, I sunk 40 hours in before the end of the story and I still had stuff to unlock. I wish that the multiplayer wasn't just battling bosses from the campaign, but it's still fun.
9.5
Incredible
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Awesome another AAA game for the psp.



40 hours... holy..



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

Great review, those UK guys have been such bastards lately, being way too harsh on PSP games.



Sounds good to me! The first game was great fun so i assume this one will be just as much, if not more fun to play!



90% of reviewers seem to hate the PSP.

ONE 90+ game in four years? IGN and GameSpot have given it at least 10, I swear.
