Sony Computer Entertainment America has released a few screenshots on the upcoming drum/rhythm game Patapon. A Game that reminds me alot of the colorful and playful Loco-Roco, Patapon is a Rhythem type game where your have to lead an army by using your rhythm (or what you have left of it). For more on Patapon. Just check out the Japanese website here. It should be heading over to the US around February.
Features and a description of the game, as described by SCEA:
Rhythm and Action Collide – Master up to six different drumbeats to command the Patapon troops to march, attack, defend, power up, retreat, and use magic. Combine the various chains of drumbeats to address each unique level, leading the Patapons to victory over the Zigoton enemy forces. Strategic Gaming – Patapon delivers a strong element of strategy by requiring players to properly customize and build up the Patapon army, arm each soldier with particular weapons and armor, and position them correctly for battle.
Mission Variety – Take part in more than 30 specific missions including hunting, escort, and boss battles, and explore numerous vivid environments along the way. Players will discover and access more than 100 items and weapons throughout the adventure.
Unique Art Style – French graphic artist Rolito, noted for his abstract art style seen in collectible toys, animation, and websites, lends his skills to create a variety of unique characters and environments, bringing the Patapon world to life.
Mini-Games – Five music-based mini-games allow players to earn bonuses and upgrades to further customize the Patapon warriors.
Music – Captivating and dramatic original music builds dynamically as players march and encounter enemy battles throughout each level.
I love those graphics. I am a big Loco Roco fan so this game really appeals to me! I’m definitely going to have to check it out.
