Patapon 2 Remastered Reviews
Overall, if you liked Patapon 2 back in the day, you're going to enjoy this release on the PlayStation 4. It doesn't do anything particularly special other than giving you the game you might have loved in 2009 on a bigger screen.
The Patapons are back, remastered and ready to do as your beats command!
Patapon 2 is still best-in-class when it comes to the rhythm-action genre but there are some areas where it doesn't hold up, specifically in its clarity and technical prowess. However, if you're looking for an incredibly engaging and euphoric game to help tide you over until 2020's big hitters start to drop, you can't go wrong with this remaster of this beloved PSP title.
Despite having the rose-tinted glasses violently ripped away, Patapon 2 Remastered is an easy recommendation to existing fans of the series.
Patapon 2 Remastered is really fun, but the gameplay is relatively boring and there are no extra and bonus compared to the PSP original game.

For the first time on PlayStation 4, the celebrated member of the Patapon franchise, Patapon 2 Remastered is available to introduce a new generation of players to the earworm of a game that plagued PSP owners.
All in all, Patapon 2 Remastered is as bare-bones of a remaster as you can get of a fun game. It has nothing in the way of new features, and the lack of compensation for input lag means that like many older rhythm games, it can be borderline unplayable on some modern televisions. If you can get past that, you can find a lot to like in this adorable and surprisingly difficult little game. Just don't blame us if you hear "pon pon pata pon" in your sleep.
The only other issue with Patapon 2 is that the rhythms will get stuck deep into your brain, and it takes ages to push them out. And then you'll load up the game again and it'll be stuck all over again. It's just that charming, bright, and catchy
Patapon 2 is an often overlooked classic that you should definitely play if you haven't already. With that said, it doesn't quite feel modernized or remastered enough in this iteration yet it still manages to be packed full of charm and challenge.
Patapon 2 Remastered is a great game conversion, but like so many other remasters, it feels cold and lacking in extras. Specifically, all three original PSP titles should have been released at once and not by dropper.

Lots of rhythm or not, you should pata-pata-pata-pon your way over to download this game.
The rhythmic beating of the drums in Patapon 2 Remastered summons not just your Patapons, but a sense of fun and merry not found anywhere else.
You seriously must possess two learning skills such as visual and audio modalities. Visual so you can see the pattern and let your muscles do the rest while audio help you hear the pattern making Patapons carry out your commands and building that momentum. I find myself on the edge of my seat, gritting my teeth while singing out loud just so I can time my rhythm and not mess the chain commands. It is quite enjoyable but failing too may times really drains my stamina.
With a new face and a screen worthy of the party it broadcasts, Patapon 2 comes to home systems with new levels. Having not lost an ounce of the originality and musicality it brought to the world, this series is welcome to the lot of new consoles, and it can still be played on Playstation 5 (if everything goes as planned). It's a shame that they cut out the multiplayer features, so they could have multiplied the fun.

Patapon 2 Remastered suffers the same affliction that its forebearer did, it’s too true to its origin, and despite being a brilliant title, fails to engender itself a new audience. The heart is still there and beats strongly, but it’s missing a few key appendages in 2020.
Patapon 2 Remastered is a fairly basic port of the game that really didn’t alter much and provides a generally solid sort of experience.
Patapon 2: Remastered is still a game worth trying with its rich content and ambitious structure even though it is behind in a few issues.
