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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
@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 :)
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.
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*
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
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.
@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!!!!
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!!!
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 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.
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 ..
@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
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.
@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.
I liked this review! My only dislike is the cursing. I wold like to show this to my younger siblings (ages 8/9) and wold like it if I could do that with confidence rather than be annoyed and angry that they heard a curse word. Thanks!
@dodopoopinpoop Yes, Nintendo has lately come up with inovating ideas, but that doesnt mean its better. Motion games might not become part of the future in gaming, there hasnt been a game that uses motion play to its potential but it always has been an interesting idea and NIntendo made it more open to us. 3D might work with gaming but no one i know can handle playing long hours of 3DS. Some other company may polish Nintendo's ideas (for better or worse),but motion play and 3D needs work.
I think I'm going to buy it now I just finished the second one now and I'm already going to play the third in row. Quite funny in fact because I also played two right after the first one
@Gamingsince01 YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Go buy Patapon 1,2, and 3. Cheaper than Black Ops AND much better deal! The game is hardcore, don't let the cute graphics fool you, but it's fun and very entertaining. All 3 together cost 40$...what're you waiting for?
It's a bit complicated, and 9.5 isn't that far from a 9. Maybe at the time when Patapon 2 came out, the reviewer had different standards? Oh well, I don't really care about the score anyway, just go buy this game or download it, because it's awesome and fun.
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.
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.
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 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
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!

Anyone 2018?
All it would take for me to buy a vita would be Patapon 4
Good ol days One of the best psp games ! still playing it right now. Pon pon pata pon!
Wait hold on, complicated is a negative? Isn't complication a good thing when combined with grinding?

I think patapon is definitely one of the greatest rythem games of all time

Still amazing in 2023

so should i get this one or the second one?

@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!
@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)
The only complaint I have is the visual style. They went from simple and cute into Final Fantasy-esque weapons, and characters.
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!!!!
@shihtzued If you get bored by Patapon, then how do you love the game?
good review Greg!
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!!!
Thanks for the video. Now I know what game ill be getting for my PSP
I dont know the ropes. Should i still get it?
Buying this tomorrow. thanx Greg!
@Allan9798 have you played patapon??
I still don't see why ign don't do longer reviews, You can review a whole game in 4 minutes
Finished the 2nd one Need to get this for my PSP Go
@griffinith Im pretty sure he does mention the fact that most bosses are from the previous game...
para cuando saldra átpon 3?
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.
@vaevictusama Thx for replying. But how long will dissidia 012 final fantasy last? Tell me plz Thank You.
Never heard about Patapon & Patapon 2 but i'll buy this game forsure.
it looks revolutionary.
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
@SOBTAM Both are equally good, but patapon has a little bit more challenge or if i may say unfair levels
@XAnonymousdX one of those rare occasions where that spam thumbs attempt actually applies to a game.
amen brotha
Can't wait to get this it looks so much better than most psp games
All three Patapons are having a limited time bundle on the PS Store. Get them all for $15! (The price of one!)
Hey can someone tell me if this has an import feature if have a save from Patapon 2 or 1

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
I still play it in 2020 is so awesome
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
I wonder if this can be played on psvita )
I played patapon 1 and 2 on psp back in the time )
greg is one of igns best.
I have all 3 and they are all EPIC!
Is there a way to get patapon 3 dlc on vita?
what about the karmens why dosnt appear on the game , whats the matter
I never played a patapon game, what are they like?
can someone type the pause song here please?
Need a patapon 4 with touch screen drums
My biggest problem with the game is that you only get to pick 1 ending per save file.
I think I'm going to buy it now I just finished the second one now and I'm already going to play the third in row. Quite funny in fact because I also played two right after the first one
how u pause??
just bought today! cant wait to play!
@Gamingsince01 YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
Go buy Patapon 1,2, and 3. Cheaper than Black Ops AND much better deal! The game is hardcore, don't let the cute graphics fool you, but it's fun and very entertaining.
All 3 together cost 40$...what're you waiting for?
@Lannnyto What am I waiting for?!? Thanks for the advice.
P.S. Any game will always be better than black ops.
@Lubuking101 it's very addicting actually. you can't say that until you actually play it :3
Wished they released a collection for vita with all dlc plus more
People forget! This game ain't just cutezy wootsy. It's pretty hard core.
This game has such epic music that even chuck norris would dance
3:28 - 1337 score :D
Score? you mean dmg right?
Kameron EX Yep.
