This one was still amazing. The only aspect of it I really didn't like was the lack of the army from 1&2. It's part of what made me love them initially... every single unit felt customized and unique. Not to say Patapon 3 wasn't fantastic, but it felt like I had switched from a military strategy to an RPG.
this game... I loved this game to death. Sat on the floor of my room, on my psp playing patapon 3, and having a good time. But my psp no longer works so I used an emulator instead. I still play it.
Leora Ojadi Emulators are absolutely free. And how emulators work is simple. It plays any game console or portable on a mobile device or mostly PC. The best psp emulator is ppsspp on andriod and PC. Download it and then you need a rom. Roms take up TONS of storage depending on what console it is on. Psp roms are very heavy on storage. So search up patapon 3 roms. Then once you download it, extract it and boom. Its not the best way to explain it though
All the contrary. Grinding in Patapon 3 is atrocious, and the fact that you can die easily even in this grinding sections makes the levels horrible designed.
the only thing i didnt like about this game was the lack of a army. what originaly hooked me into patapon was the second games demo and i liked the idea of controling the will of a army to the beat of a drum.
Some aspects to it are great but I hate the fact that it can get complicated. It would be better if it was like patapon 2, simple, but if patapon 2 had options like buying and selling items.
i swear if patapon comes out on ps4 id be sooooo happy. Played patapon 3 on my cousins new psp vita and oh my god. its gorgeous, addicting, and charming. want. :c atm just playing it on an s3 with PPSSPP xD
A story that engrosses you and makes you care about the characters, great action, impeccable graphics and gameplay and a riveting musical score. The multiplayer side is also extremely polished with astounding levels of customisation and many different modes to play through. There are very little (If any) problems with the game. It is just great. Naughty Dog's new game "The Last of Us" has been dubbed as "Game of the decade" now too! I recommend you watch any review of it!
@Lannnyto They get most of the games that they review early, like 2 weeks or so. But it depends on the games, they get call of duty games early but they are only able to release it the day comes out for everyone to buy. It takes longer then a day to Play, Write, film and edit a review for any game :)
I found out about patapon from my friend and i got it. After 6 months i was playing in front of another friend and he told me he could get me papo 2 and i was like theres a papo 2? I must have. So after a while i found patapon 3 when I was on the web and i told Him if he could get papo 3. So he got it for me and downloaded it. And right now i have over papo 1:175 hrs, 2:150 hrs, and 3:230 hrs.
Patapon 3 both improved the series while at the same time downgraded a bit. The thing I hated about this game is the fact that all levels are almost the same wherein in the 2 previous games there's a variety for what's going to happen in each level. I also hated how bosses are rare, don't have a level system (The earlier bosses will just be one hit when you're lvl 30+), and the fact that the game focused more on its multiplayer feature, making the dlc bosses only possible to defeat in multiplayer and requires a really strong weapon so that you can just 1 hit kill it. There's no thrill and enjoyment in that. I prefer the challenging bosses in Patapon 2, like Zuttankarmen, hard and challenging but still possible to defeat with the right tactics.
@Smattless Lol say that to the 99% of the fanbase of the game that loved it and preferred it than the other 2. It's way different than mobile games,have you ever seen any grinding-rhythm game? No. This one is special and the music keeps you motivated.
I really want one of these games but when I arrived at all the relatively close game stores, all thay had was number 1. Should I just buy it or what??? Plzz help me!!!
I love how he leaves out that most of the bosses are just rehashes from Patapon 2, with only two or three new bosses. The world is lacking in mystery and doesn't have changing environments that effect the whole stage (except for snow) and doesn't cleverly hide little extras within the game. Also now the bosses have a "rage mode" that they go into. This means no more tells for what they're about to do, so the player doesn't have time to react to an instant kill attack which means can't be dodged.
Now this is a good reviewer and I'm not just saying that because he gave the game a good review I say that BECAUSE in every game this dude reviews he's always unbiased and actually gives a good explanation to justify his score unlike the rest of the IGN team THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK HE DESERVES A PROMOTION
Great review actually :o Listening to it made it clear what your score was and makeing it fair Complicated is bad along with the grinding. You laid it down perfectly and precisely, even saying at the end specifically that. *clap*
@ZillaVenom It's only complicated if you're about eight years old. In all honesty, I found this game's class system easier to figure out than both P1 and P2's (Also the heroes look way sexier in this game)
aww man, I was disappointed that hey didn't add the bird-rider patapon class :( I mean they have 2 Horse-rider classes but no bird-rider :P oh well, still ... HELLA-EPIC GAME!!!!
Can anyone suggest me should I buy Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, Patapon 3 Tactics orgre Let Us Cling Together? Which one is worth to buy and can play for days? Or should I just wait for MHP3 and Final Fantasy Type-0.Plz Thank You.
if they were to made a new patapon game, it would be in android. and the system battle would be the same, but getting new class and rare weapon it would be in a gacha by using gem and lastly it would be a online game.
I Just Love Their Cute Voices.I Find It Thrilling.Especially The Stuff They Say On Fever.Are Those Just Made On Computer? I Mean Like,How Can They Stuff So Hard To Pronounce?Example:When The Horn Hero When You Pick The Archer When He Uses Uberhero Mode He's Like:Charchapacha! I Can Only Pronounce Some Of Them.
@IndependantMinority i think they are realy serieus....look how much action strategy and music and rythem so it deserves a 9..dont be fooled by its cuteness and its simplisity
There are no announcements on it. In fact, not many fans of Sony have played Patapon. We can only hope Japan Studio will make a 4th game on Vita, or on iOS and Android at the very least, because Patapon 3 is a better hunting game than most hunting games on the Vita.
9.0 is fine by me.. I was expecting it to be 9.5, but hey.. they're right .. it is a little bit complicated and tutorials were longer and better explained in previous games, but hey .. That was fine by me.. It pumped me right into the action .. As a note, story missions are actually difficult.. Especially if you play in single player.. That's something I've actually enjoyed .. greater satisfaction when finishing them ..
@mak7070 lol no, ign is biased if its mario theyl jack the score up to a 9 , if its xbox the ad a 0.5 to it lol, there there sponsorship =P this guy is a honest reviewer tho
@dodopoopinpoop I understand your point, but when i mean hardcore gamers Idont mean blood and masacre like GTA4 (I detest). I dont like Mario because I find it boring after 10min (but i loved it when i was a boy). Hardcore games includes awesome gameplay and story (which is what i look for). Meanwhile in Nintendo, you have recycle concepts from first party games that becomes boring quite quickly, but third party games (better games most of the time) doesn't get much opportunities in Nintendo.
Spend 50 hours grinding in Patapon 2 to make the best grinding team, to use to grind more materials for ultimate patapons and I did not even finish the game. So i will not be picking this up, until i one day start playing patapon 2 again.
Wow. A comment from 2 days ago? This game is a hidden gem. This series has to make a comeback. Too bad we didn't get a release in the Vita, that would've been awesome. Oh well, I'm going to dust off my PSP And start a game of Patapon 3. Cheers!
First, why is this guy sounds so excited all the time? Second, being hardcore isn't something to lower a score, it's something to point out, obviously, but it's not a NEGATIVE feature, gotta disagree on that one.
I still play this in 2019, like if you do as well...doubt anyone will be watching this now anyways
Lol the bid is 4:20 +1 long xddd
Well y'all ain't alone
I'm here watching this vid in quarantine, stay safe lads
yessir
Hell yea
This one was still amazing.

Not to say Patapon 3 wasn't fantastic, but it felt like I had switched from a military strategy to an RPG.
A must-have for PSP owners and certainly one of the best exclusive game ever created for the playstation portable.
Who said for psp owners? (Looks at emulation )
I put over 72 hours in the patapon 2 demo, so when I got the full game, I was op
Lol same! I had almost every heavenly and ancient item too! Too bad my save that had 200+ hours got corrupted... :(

We're in the same boat lol. My psp may be broken but alteast theres ppsspp
Broken because it can't keep a battery charge? That's what happened to me and Amazon sells third party batteries that brought my PSP back to life!
All it would take for me to buy a vita would be Patapon 4
Here to will the Patapon 3 Remaster into existence 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Wait hold on, complicated is a negative? Isn't complication a good thing when combined with grinding?
Mnignephjollhyyst LXIX yeah lol if you play 1 and 2 it’s not complicated

I think patapon is definitely one of the greatest rythem games of all time
Good ol days One of the best psp games ! still playing it right now. Pon pon pata pon!
4:00
Just because you're playing on Sony's machine doesn't mean they made it.
Pyramid, Japan Studio. Sony published it.
I still don't see why ign don't do longer reviews, You can review a whole game in 4 minutes
It is sad that they've stopped making more patapon games
i swear if patapon comes out on ps4 id be sooooo happy. Played patapon 3 on my cousins new psp vita and oh my god. its gorgeous, addicting, and charming. want. :c atm just playing it on an s3 with PPSSPP xD
Waifus n' Syrup your wish has been made
TheOne Boi really?
@Regalia It's coming soon :)
@panamcspana Yeah, it seems as if the narrator/reviewer is actually EXCITED and you can feel the exuberance in his voice.
The only complaint I have is the visual style. They went from simple and cute into Final Fantasy-esque weapons, and characters.
I agree that Patapon 3 easily can bore you.....
I Always feel sleepy when Playing it lol!
BUT STILL I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!♥♥♥
Kudos for choosing Yumiyacha, almost no one chooses him at the beginning :o
Still amazing in 2023
Same

My biggest problem with the game is that you only get to pick 1 ending per save file.
I found out about patapon from my friend and i got it. After 6 months i was playing in front of another friend and he told me he could get me papo 2 and i was like theres a papo 2? I must have.

And right now i have over papo 1:175 hrs, 2:150 hrs, and 3:230 hrs.
so should i get this one or the second one?
grinding never bores me thats the reason why im still playing it
It seems that you didnt played the other two.
i have almost 700 hours in patapon 3 and i still love it
600h - P3
75h - P2
~40 - P1

@Smattless I respect the original comment's opinion because it's true,but Patapon 3 is far away from horrible.
I probably preferred three in my teens but as I got older I preferred 2. You nailed it though!
@griffinith Im pretty sure he does mention the fact that most bosses are from the previous game...
I really want one of these games but when I arrived at all the relatively close game stores, all thay had was number 1. Should I just buy it or what??? Plzz help me!!!
I dont know the ropes. Should i still get it?
I love how he leaves out that most of the bosses are just rehashes from Patapon 2, with only two or three new bosses.

Patapon Multi Raid/Strikeforce. Looks awesome!
All three Patapons are having a limited time bundle on the PS Store. Get them all for $15! (The price of one!)
"Dance by a try, hoping to get what you need" So true!!!
@XAnonymousdX one of those rare occasions where that spam thumbs attempt actually applies to a game.
amen brotha

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK HE DESERVES A PROMOTION
I never played a patapon game, what are they like?
Great review actually :o Listening to it made it clear what your score was and makeing it fair
Complicated is bad along with the grinding. You laid it down perfectly and precisely, even saying at the end specifically that.
*clap*
@justWatchin97 do you mean to say that playing games that you don't really like is less sad?

@shihtzued If you get bored by Patapon, then how do you love the game?
My online voucher doesn't work, I don't see an expiry date on it, so it still must be good.
What's wrong?
Never heard about Patapon & Patapon 2 but i'll buy this game forsure.
it looks revolutionary.
WHAT IS THIS ? I HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK! I love THIS.
Can anyone suggest me should I buy Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, Patapon 3 Tactics orgre Let Us Cling Together? Which one is worth to buy and can play for days? Or should I just wait for MHP3 and Final Fantasy Type-0.Plz Thank You.
@Allan9798 have you played patapon??
@SuperMyquest Wow u really don't go on IGN do u?
Dammit now I can;t decide whicj is more addicting its either metal gear solid peace walker, loco roco, shin megami tensei persona 3 or this game
Great review Greggy.

@SOBTAM Both are equally good, but patapon has a little bit more challenge or if i may say unfair levels
good review Greg!
Now free on PS+
@Gamer5449 yes u can and if u have a psp buy this game and if u havent seen ign declared Patapon 3 the 2nd best PSP game of all time
When will this be available for vita
Patapon 3 was a huge downgrade compared to 2. One of my most dissapointing games of all time.
@IndependantMinority i think they are realy serieus....look how much action strategy and music and rythem so it deserves a 9..dont be fooled by its cuteness and its simplisity
This game has such epic music that even chuck norris would dance
Ha! With Vita, any patapon can be paused by pressing the playstation button. I still hope this one and patapon 1 also go on the psn store
Want to see this on PSN
People forget! This game ain't just cutezy wootsy. It's pretty hard core.
How do you record on a PSP?
naughtyfish is princess patapon and represents purity (even though she behaves the opposite which is lust)
3:28 - 1337 score :D
Score? you mean dmg right?
Kameron EX Yep.
Infact perfection hardly exist in this world.
why is complicated a problem?
I wonder if this can be played on psvita )
I played patapon 1 and 2 on psp back in the time )
Greg Miller is like the only person at IGN to play on PS3.
Is there coming a fourth game to the Vita?
There are no announcements on it. In fact, not many fans of Sony have played Patapon.
We can only hope Japan Studio will make a 4th game on Vita, or on iOS and Android at the very least, because Patapon 3 is a better hunting game than most hunting games on the Vita.
***** Huh, well yeah, that would make sense. Too bad though, really. :/
Impossible. The story of the last 3 games is over. They made it to Earthend. Now what they NEED to do is put the Patapon trilogy on ps4
We may never know
Patapon remastered may be a success
They might make a Patapon 4 or some other side
Vita?
Wats that._.
I still play it in 2020 is so awesome
para cuando saldra átpon 3?

After playing the first one...and second one, I think I just hung my hat on this title. Patapon is exhausting. period
It wasn't broken at all for me. It was completely bug free, sorry if it was for you though; that's a real bummer :(.
what about the karmens why dosnt appear on the game , whats the matter
