    If you like rhythm games and games based on push the button at the right time, this game is a delight. The art is totally kawaii, the music is great, and the game is totally addictive. You can play two players, has an online mode based on ghosts that is very fast and fun, there are hundreds of objects to unlock, no micro transactions, the level of difficulty is medium / high, but theIf you like rhythm games and games based on push the button at the right time, this game is a delight.

This is a game made with love and I recommend it totally. I wish you could try it, I bought it and I have not stopped playing it. Among the songs come several of anime series and even the Japanese version of LET IT GO. I bought it in digital at PSN Store USA and it's located, on my PS4 it appears in Spanish, so I assume it's also in English. From now on I am a fan of this game !!! Sadly, RockBand 4 Drums don´t work (I hope Namco patch it), but playing with the normal controller is fine, but I want to try the drum controller that Namco made for this game.
    8/10 but when Namco add support for Rock Band Drum I will score it 10/10    … Expand

    Taiko no tatsujin is a great simple yet addictive game. Though I think it's way too over priced.

    Really good rhythm game. Purchased it in sale for like 15$ and loved it. There's even couch multiplayer.

    Muy buen juego, me hice adictivo apenas lo probé, a comparación de los demás juegos de la franquicia este no ofrece muchas cosas y no tiene online en tiempo real para jugar con amigos, la selección de música es muy genial por lo que no es muy necesario estar comprando dlcs de música, aunque recomendaría solo comprar las que crees que suenan geniales

    When you get down to it, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session is a two-button rhythm game with an obscure soundtrack. It certainly has a lot of personality, but there's just not enough to the game to hold your interest once the novelty wears off. Perhaps it would be different if you had the opportunity to play it with a drum controller, but we're not being given the opportunity to find that out for ourselves.

    Despite the lack of a physical Taiko drum controller, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session is a great game for rhythm fans. The songs are excellent, and although the amount of available DLC songs is overwhelming, there are more than a handful of tunes anyone can have a good time with. Better yet, the challenges presented by the bingo cards and online play give you plenty of incentive to start getting better at the whole soundtrack, and it's something you'd like to see utilized in other rhythm games. In short, Drum Session is well worth checking out.

    All in all, there’s enough happening in Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! that can keep you entertained for a long time. If you’re looking for a challenge, you can try filling out all the Bingo cards, beating your own high scores, and playing with friends and strangers online. There are fun rewards and lots of familiar songs that make this game feel nostalgic yet new at the same time. While there was opportunity missed by not having the drum controller available here, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is still enjoyable by itself.
