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.

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.

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.

Patapon 2 Remastered is a fun session game, witch suffers from poor video quality, as well as some elements of audio accompaniment. But it is still interesting to beat the rhythm and watch the actions of funny little men. If you liked this game on PSP or are a fan of the genre, we recommend paying attention to this remaster.

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 is a fun game of its time. It still feels like a relic of the PSP days with its big chunky menus and relatively straightforward gameplay, but if anything sets itself apart as much to warrant its own remaster, it’s the charm that comes through loud and clear.

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.

Patapon 2 Remastered doesn't introduce anything new to the game, but is still fun to play for fans of the genre. Input lag can unfortunately rear it's ugly head, which can make an already difficult game, nigh impossible on harder difficulties. It's tough to recommend this one for any but the most devout of fans as there are a wealth of better rhythm based games out there right now.

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 is still a very good game but the PS4 version lacks of polish.

Patapon 2 Remastered fails to compensate for the fact that the Sony PSP was a very different device from the PlayStation 4, and in the end, controller latency sinks this classic game adaptation. If the game had compensated for the particulars of its new home, it may have been immensely enjoyable – the core of a great game is intact. But as it stands, Patapon 2 is frustrating and unfun.

Patapon 2 Remastered brings a classic PlayStation title to modern platforms, and its the best possible version of the game.

A fun and funky sequel, Patapon 2's bolstered roster of cheerful eyeball folk make for another welcome trip soundtracked to the beat of Pata Pata Pata Pon. It's a shame then that the remaster feels incomplete, offering an experience that's fundamentally less comprehensive than the PSP original.

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 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.
