    This game gets way too much credit for its pros and enough flak for its cons. Be prepared to have no idea about certain elements of the game as they try to play up the mystery portion of the game. And then enter battles where you could be involved anywhere from 5-35 minutes depending on how well equipped you are. And the only way to get well equipped is to fight the same guys atleast 5This game gets way too much credit for its pros and enough flak for its cons.

And then enter battles where you could be involved anywhere from 5-35 minutes depending on how well equipped you are. And the only way to get well equipped is to fight the same guys atleast 5 times. For how long it takes to beat this game it gets real repetitive real fast. Its innovatove gameplay and deep custimazation are intriguing for about ten hours but after that you find yourself just wanting it to be over as tapping circle circle square circle about 5000 times is not fun.… Expand

    After racking up over 40 hours of playtime on this game and still not being able to beat the final boss I have to conclude that they've made the game too hard to be enjoyable They took a game that was accessible to all and made it so difficult that even hardcore fans of the original will find themselves getting bored and giving up rather than completing it The evolution system should After racking up over 40 hours of playtime on this game and still not being able to beat the final boss I have to conclude that they've made the game too hard to be enjoyable They took a game that was accessible to all and made it so difficult that even hardcore fans of the original will find themselves getting bored and giving up rather than completing it The evolution system should be simplified, abolish the levels, it takes far too much time and far too many rare items (which can only be gotten from fighting the same boss 20 times or so) to get powerful rarepons And for the love of all things eyeball make it so that the hatepon (flagbearer) can be upgraded somehow, it's incredibly frustrating when you've got a team of levelled-up, well-equipped rarepons and one swipe at your weakling hatepon ends a mission and loses the 50 items you've just farmed from a boss fight.… Expand

    An extremely unambitious sequel. [Jan 2009, p.92]

    Very similar to Patapon, but it just about gets away with it. Partly, that's because there's loads more stuff (units, weapons and consequently strategic depth), partly because the core mechanic is still top fun (albeit exactly half as fresh as before), and partly because it seems ludicrous to criticise a game about dancing, warlike eyeballs for lack of originality. [Feb 2009, p.96]

    The little creatures from Patapon are back and well in this sequel that's basically the same game with a few additions that turns the game into a better and more profound experience for those who love music and strategy. We'll enjoy once more a strange but satisfying world at war, in which our only duty is to protect and serve the little and charismatic Patapon warriors.
