Patapon 2 Remastered is a fun session game, witch suffers from poor video quality, as well as some elements of audio accompaniment. But it is still interesting to beat the rhythm and watch the actions of funny little men. If you liked this game on PSP or are a fan of the genre, we recommend paying attention to this remaster.
Patapon 2 is a fun game of its time. It still feels like a relic of the PSP days with its big chunky menus and relatively straightforward gameplay, but if anything sets itself apart as much to warrant its own remaster, it’s the charm that comes through loud and clear.
Patapon 2 Remastered doesn't introduce anything new to the game, but is still fun to play for fans of the genre. Input lag can unfortunately rear it's ugly head, which can make an already difficult game, nigh impossible on harder difficulties. It's tough to recommend this one for any but the most devout of fans as there are a wealth of better rhythm...
Patapon 2 is still a very good game but the PS4 version lacks of polish.
