Fun and Cheap
I am not your normal video game junkie. The last real game I played was Link on Nintendo. I just can't stand most new(i.e. FPS) games. This game however, is fantastic. Just the right amount of strategy, mixed with the rythym part on the buttons, to make me play it all the way to the end. The graphics are cartoonish, but very crisp. I really like the little eyeball critters! And you will sing the chants in your sleep for weeks(Chicka chicka pata pon!). If you are looking for something new and different, you will love this.

Great Fun!!
This is an extremely fun game. You guide your army on a variety of missions, whether it be hunting for food or marching them to battle, you command it all with the beat of your drum. You get to build your army, equip them and also build up Patopolis. Great stylized and simplistic art and really cool but simple game play. It's addictive but easy to pick up and put down. I'd give this to younger kids knowing they'd be able to play it and not get too confused. Great overall, recommended for anyone willing to try something new.

One of the Best in 2008
The game is simple and elegant in nature and gameplay, and has its own unique art style that makes it look modern and/or appealing. Lead your mythical people into war. Singing and Dancing. Beat the war drum in bloody battles. Hypnotic play.
