It took me approximately 16 hours to complete Patapon on the first run, which includes the time it takes to fully grasp the combat mechanic. Patapon is the rhythm action version of Tamagotchi, I really love my little tribe and hate seeing them get blasted away. The estimates on time of completion are spot on.

Speaking of localization, it's nice they keep the Jpn names for the Patapon army, like Yaripon (spear), Tatepon (shield), Yumipon (bow), etc.. not sure how many people get the names, most likely could've guessed. Of course Kami being god is a pretty well known word. If they indeed bring this game to PSN store, it would look so good on a big screen. 20 bucks is definitely a steal, will pick it up very soon.

Odd they don`t have Patapon listed, so I`m left wondering; are there others?
