You can only take so much drumming before your hands get tired. The game unfortunately only has a limited amount of song choices and after a good solid two hours of game play I know the words to about half of the available songs. On a happier point additional songs can be unlocked as one clears certain stages at certain difficulty levels. Additionally there was a myriad choice of mini games optional, which I did not explore, bent as I was on getting all the damn songs I possibly could before exhaustion overtook my bad self. The graphics didn’t wear thin luckily, though that could be attributed to the fact that the only thing the players eyes can focus on while playing is the tiny markings passing on the screen indicating a drum beat required. One other down-fall of this game (which I love despite its apparently short lifespan) is that it is a noisy game- there is no playing this at 2 in the morning without waking up the housemates, and maybe the people downstairs.
Despite my critique it is a lovely casual game, obviously intended for group use and enjoyment. Personally its one of those games I'll leave on when I host my next party. Translation: it rocks even when you’re wasted.
Note: platform= PS2

Taiko Drum Master is a game created for the casual game player. A fun and entertaining system which works in the same vein as DDR and Guitar Hero, Taiko Drum Master employees the use of rhythm, choice song content, and cute Japan pop graphics which manage to be so cute its painful, yet at the same time feels oh-so good. The casual nature of this game makes it fun to pick up and easy to put down... only to pick up again after about 10 minutes. The level of difficulty ranges in the simple to understand categories of "easy," "normal," and "hard," further stratified through a use of star ratings (5= difficult for the category, 1= for easy for the category)I think so far the most enjoyable factor of the game is its social aspects. Easy to understand, and engage with, the game encourages group use and through the employment of pleasing and humorous graphics and upbeat song/level choices, entertains the viewers.
Note: this is in actuality a PS2 game.
