In the United States, Patapon 2 has been news mostly due to the game’s unique digital-only delivery method—in other regions the game comes on a UMD, in a case, just like every other game. We’ll explore how downloading the title works, but we’re also going to talk about the game itself, as it has gotten somewhat short shrift in our coverage so far. No matter how the game gets to you, there is a wonderful strategy title here.
Last week Sony sent us a review code for the game, which was entered into the PlayStation Store to unlock the 361MB download. After that, the game launched off the Pro Duo card like any other PSN game on the PSP, complete with a digital manual. If you delete the game to save space, you can download it again. When you buy the game on May 5 at retail stores it will come with a code inside a UMD case, or you can download the game directly from the PlayStation Network on May 7. Both versions will cost $19.99.
