    Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master doesn't show anything different (and it doesn't need to), it is an excellent option for those who have an Xbox and want to try this traditional drumming experience. The musical selection is quite decent and the unlockables will give you dozens of hours of play. You're not going to become a taiko pro, but you're going to have fun trying.

    Taiko No Tatsujin is an amazingly fun rhythmic experience that's going to hook you from the very beginning, even if you're not an anime fan.

    It may not be that much of a surprise but Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master! is massively enjoyable. While the songs range from easy to “surely only an octopus can hit all these notes!”, the challenge can be tweaked to suit everyone, and it turns out that a little drumming is a surprisingly relaxing pastime.

    The hit drumming series’ arrival on Xbox and PC is with several caveats, as without the famous Taiko drum controller, it’s thoroughly restricted. Thanks to a fantastic tracklist, however, the numbed sensation manages to provide infectious gameplay.

    The same fun drumming game you know and love... Just not as generous.
    Maybe the fact that it went straight to Game Pass had something to do    The same fun drumming game you know and love... Just not as generous.

    There's a few oddities like 'Last Christmas" and "I Want You Back" but a lot of the Pop, Namco and Vocaloid favourites are missing. The feature set and game modes seem to be identical to the others mentioned but the layout is much more like Drum n Fun. One thing I will say is that the Xbox pad seems ill fitting for this particular game - the D-pad is too low for extended play and is a little stiff. You can of course change the controls (Type 2 is my preferred anyway).    … Expand
