    The single worst game introduction I've seen in my life. Getting through the tutorial is a real chore. The story is an uninspired and annoying thing to sit through.
    Great concept, extremely poorly executed.
    The off beat sounds withing the game are extremely annoying to from the get go.

    Instead of revamping the local wireless as either couch co-op or friends list parties, The dev team thought it was more appropriate to delete it and call it a day.

    I have loved this series' campaign and aesthetic since the psp, and multiplayer was one of the driving forces of it. Being over a decade later means there is NO excuse for this lazy rushed PORT. If anything it is Demastered.

    You get more value from buying the 2008 version

    I Pray to IT that we get a multiplayer patch because I WANT TO LOVE THIS SO BADLY

    I couldn't even get past the tutorial because my controller inputs was not synced to the game and there is no way to re-calibrate it. Game is literally unplayable.

    Garbage, totally unplayable, no sound optimizing, horribly buggy. PS4 Store Review is a LIE this game should never have been released in its current state.

    DO NOT BUY, or Refund asap if you can.

    I loved playing the Patapon games on my PSP and I was quite excited for this release. Unfortunately, input lag completely destroys this game and makes the experience irritating, to the point that the tutorial might not even be possible for you to complete.

    I tried adjusting my TV settings as best I could, and using headphones as other users suggest. Unfortunately, it stayed laggy and infuriating.

    It’s impossible to not love the little one-eyed fighters but then again the remastered version is only for the ones that truly miss them. And they probably have the lag free PSP game already. [05/2020, p.83]

    When you and Patapon 2 are on the same page of its rhythmic song book, this is a treat of a dance party. You won’t be able to resist getting down to this sick beat. [Issue#173, p.89]

    Great musical rhythm strategy, which sadly suffers with input lag in the console version. Sometimes only headphones can save the situation. [Issue#301]
