PS2:
Taiko no Tatsujin with TataCon JPN
$85 ORDER
|
Powered by a catchy selection of anime and
J-Pop songs ranging
from the sprightly Hamtaro Theme to
the adventurous Love Machine, Taiko no Tatsujin
impresses with a likable selection of music tracks and
inspired rhythm gaming. Four new songs are included in the
home version, the most recognizable being the Klonoa 2
theme. Play mechanics are simple, with five
basic moves to tap on the TataCon drum controller as the
on-screen smiley face cues scroll across the screen. The
color and expression of the smiley triggers any one of the
following drum moves:
--
Red Smiley - Hit the surface of the TataCon
Blue Smiley - Smack the edge of the TataCon
Red Laugh - Blast a strong surface thump with both sticks
Blue Laugh - Hit both edges of the TataCon simultaneously
Smiley Overlaps Frame - Fire off rapid staccato with both
sticks
-
To help the uncoordinated masses with the
basics of drum rhythm, a Beginner mode taught by professor
Bachio tutors tyros on the basics of the game and how to
read the cue signals. Four other modes of play include an
Arcade Mode, Free Mode, Survival Mode, and a Mini-game mode
where one can experience such wonders as "100m
Dash" and "Boss Don Marathon." Each copy of
Taiko ships in a largish container which includes the game
software, a pair of drumsticks and a drum controller. Please
note that additional drum controllers are not available this
week, so you'll have to fly solo - updates once we have news
on stock.
Preorders ship today at the price of US$75. New
