If you really liked the original games or the PS2 game, you'll love this one!
You can play through about 40 different songs and three different difficulty levels. Songs are mostly Japenese songs by different artists like J-Pop, and there are songs from games by Namco too. You can also play an endless game where you specify the number of minutes and it randomly picks songs to play.
Controls are simple, you use the D-pad to hit the drum on the left and the buttons for a right hit. Use L and are shoulder buttons for the side hits on the drum. If you press select before a game, there is also an automatic mode, where you just watch the computer play. Pretty neat when the game starts to get hard!
There are also three different mini games.
• A disco dancing party with a character dance in the middle, you have to hold down the bottons shown on the screen. As it progresses, you have less time to enter them in.
• In the second one, you fight against other people with little sumo wrestlers. You have to rapidly press etheir the D-pad and the bottons, or L and R. If you press the wrong one, you will pause for a few seconds and that gives your opponent an advantage to push you off the platform.
• The third one is very cool. You hold the PSP vertically and use the anolog stick to control platforms. Electric Taiko drum parts fall from the top on to the platforms and you tilt it side to side to let them fall down into barrels. Put in enough and you form a drum. Goal is to make as many drums as possible in the time limit.
There are multiple player modes that include the game sharing option. So overall, the game is very fun and entertaining. Just note that it's in Japanese and I don't know if they are going to release an English version.

Actually... there are only 38 songs and 4 different difficulty levels.
You start off with 34 songs and 3 difficulty levels... then, you unlock 4 more songs and the forth (hardest) difficulty level.edited: Aug 24 2005

I actually own this game and while I can't agree more with the reviewer, I would say that beating this game is quite a bit more easy than it's PS2 counterpart. I own the first two Taiko Drummer titles for PS2 and they are infinitely harder than this PSP version. Granted I own the drum sets for the PS2 version and getting the contact right in time with the music is just harder, but it also is more fun overall. The Japanese releases over here (I live in Sapporo, Japan) are really slim lately, so when this one hit, I definitely knew this would be my next purchase.
Again, this game is a complete blast if you are looking for something different, but if you've played this series on PS2 it might be a tad on the easy side for you to complete.
