Patapon hands-on at IGN.

"We first caught a glimpse of Patapon at E3, but we had no idea what the title was about. It appeared to feature a side-scrolling tribal feel to it, with many small creatures taking on beasts that were easily four to five times their size. However, we didn't really know what the concept behind the game was. At this year's TGS, we were finally able to get our hands on the title, and it was quite a surprise to discover that it was primarily a rhythm game with action elements."
