"Patapon 2 is an often overlooked classic that you should definitely play if you haven&s;t already. With that said, it doesn&s;t quite feel modernized or remastered enough in this iteration yet it still manages to be packed full of charm …"

"Sorry that a series like Patapon, still unique in the rhythm game genre, is struggling to find peace among the pixels of its new editions for PlayStation 4."
