No game better sums up the year that the PSP has had, as well as an ideal future for the platform, than Japan Studio's own Patapon 2. This is a game that gleefully defies simple description, with gameplay that is some mysterious ratio of side-scroller, real-time strategy, and rhythmic action, and a presentational style that is abstract and playful, but without completely whitewashing the tribal combat that is at the core of Patapon 2.
