Had it not been released at the remarkably low price tag of $20 USD, Patapon might have been overlooked by many here in the States. That’s not to assume that the game is bad or a ‘budget title’ in any way. In fact, this may very well be the third most satisfying twenty dollars you spend on a PSP title.
