I only say it's educational because I'm in my school band and this helped me get a really good sense of rythm and frankly it's not really a bad game I think it's hilarious.
i bought this game thinking i was going to love it but it turned out it was bad! i thought commanding a army by rythem would by cool but it just did not work. the only thing i like about it is the characters.
A fantastic game. When I begin playing this game I couldn't get the patapon song right. After months of practice I now have fantastic rhythm. This game teaches a person rhythm and how to manage you're troop and lead them to their goal. The game can get frustrating. You also play as the "almighty" that may be offending to Christians (like me). The patapons will pray to you and give offerings to you. The violence is a bit too much for little kids. Every time you defeat a boss you are usually rewarded with the severed head of the creature.
