This is overrated. Sales are deserved for a developer trying something new on the psp though. Especially for the locoroco crew.

Funny fact though: the first titles in the series (loco roco, patapon 1) sold ok. Not so much for the sequels.

Wow, I can't believe this sold this well. I guess that's why they shoved another one out so quickly. It sounds like they should have let the second one cook a bit longer. I'm not sure why they felt so rushed to release another one so quickly.

I'm glad it sold well cause it is a fun game when it's not ridiculously, unfun hard. Very good and fun concept. Maybe those who play the guitar or are good at rhythm have it easier.

I will buy the sequel provided it is much, much easier. It's actually the first game I've bought that I haven't beaten in years (Morrowind was the last one, so yeah, 5 years).

Yep... its pretty much 60$ at this point. But I think that in bigges countryes like the UK and Germany the price was ~ 30 EU ( ~ 30 $ ).

nomorehalo posted 12/10/2008, 07:57
@CrazzyMan
Is it really $60 in EU?! Since it's still sold more than US, I don't want to know how many sales they've thrown away by selling it at such a ridiculous price.

I would definitely buy this game, But paying 60$ for a game, which in NA cost only 20$.. is not my way of doing.

This Game is Definitely Absolutely WORTH those 20$. =)
Shame on you americans and japanese. =]

@Aj_habfan, well, it`s FUN, atleast for me, to overdo IMPOSSIBLE things in games. =)

Anyway, i hope this game will reach 1 mln. LTD and will become cheaper here in Europe. =)

Argh, okay, this game is way too hard, it's not even enjoyable anymore. It's super easy level, super easy level, IMPOSSIBLE, super easy level, super easy level, GO QUIT NOW. The developpers must have forgotten they were making a simple rhythm based game, not a freakin RPG.

Definatly . The game is extremely small barely filling 10% of the UMD . Development cost was probably low and it will probably reach the half million. Great investment if you ask me :)

Man, I'm so happy Patapon did so well! Granted it did get released at a Greatest Hit price point, its still a wonderful game and I hope it has legs! In my opinion, the 4 greatest exclusives will be released within the next 5 weeks and this is the first one(GoW, WildARMS XF, and FF7:CC are the others)! Everyone go buy it!

Fun game with a harder difficulty then you would expect. I am about half way through (if the reviews are correct about the 15 hr play time).
This game is the perfect lead-in to March which will probably be the greatest month in PSP history; GoW, FF7:CC, WildArms XF, etc. If you need a mobile MP3 player, video player, game player, get a PSP. All the reasons are there now :)
