Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios, Japan Studio/Pyramid, PataponTM3 sees the return of the innovative, rhythm-based 2D action game exclusively for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system.

Players will go on multiplayer Quest with friends or go head-to-head on an epic four-against-four battle against other Patapon clans with network play (up to eight players). Patapon is a fully customizable experience, with different weapons and abilities that combine music and dance to create the only multiplayer portable adventure full of rhythm and war.
