A demo is now available for Patapon, a game that may just be one of the most unique offerings the PSP (or almost any platform for that matter) will likely see this year. Unsurprising, really, since it’s from the makers of LocoRoco. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I’m a complete sucker for games with a quirky art style (courtesy of Rolito) and original gameplay to match. Patapon seems to fit that bill to a “T” with what looks to be a combination of elements from rhythm games, action games and the customization options of an RPG. The full version hits about a week from now at the ultra-bargain price of $19.99, so hop to it!
