Patapon 3 Demo Moves To Your Beat Today
But enough gushing about the PSP's best tribal war sim. As to why this is relevant today, it's because the latest iteration has a demo available on the PSN Store today, and you can be playing it as soon as your PSP gets on the network. Patapon 3 continues the fine tradition of using war drums to tell your Patapon to attack, defend, or maneuver, but also adds some new features to the mix. The headliner of all these is infrastructure connectivity--yes, Virginia, there is an Internet. Sony's Xmas-in-July means you can play co-op or versus against strangers so you can, at last, prove whose rhythm is stronger.
Most interestingly, the addition of Superhero Patapon look to give the battles a more epic feel with fewer Patapon being scattered after enemy attacks. Add in legendary weapons and items to go along with those huge masks, and it looks like Patapon 3 will be the latest to allow a sort of Monster Hunter feel to its co-op challenges. The versus mode looks similar, but with 4-on-4 action.
If this sounds up your alley, then you'll want to check out the Patapon 3 demo by logging into the PSN Store from your favorite Patapon-playing device. And if you catch the Fever, the only cure is to enjoy this demo until the game proper comes out in September.
