Unfortunately lacking the taiko drum controller, buttons must be tapped in tune to the on screen action. Control soon become intuitive though and there is a wide spectrum of songs from J Pop classic 'Festival Ninja' to 'Dragon Sprit Medley' via 'Lupin III' and 'We Will Rock You'. Three mini games too: making a wolf dance, fighting a sumo and building robots. Undeniably bizarre with smiling squids, dancing dogs and samurai turles; but when it brings the spirit of a Japanese festival into your home it can't be bad. Also known by its English name of Taiko Drum Master Portable.
