first taiko i played! have a great amount of songs,, the downside is just i played on PSPGO ,,,,, the button is too small

also finishing the intense voice of hatsune miku EX on PSPGO is impossible for a damn 13 years old

the fighting per country is so fun xDDD

I'd consider myself somewhat of a fan of rhythm games and boy does Taiko no Tatsujin DX fall into that category. While I don't appreciate beating the hell out of my PSP buttons to ensure I hit every note or get the greatest number of drumbeats during a solo, that was hardly my main concern when playing this absolute gem. Playing through a song in this game feels almost like a fever dream. There are color splashes and insane characters popping out of every corner of the screen, notes flying at high speeds, the roaring of musical notes, and a constant bombardment of Japanese exclamations and song lyrics that I can’t begin to understand. It is a lot, but it is absolutely worth it. The song variety in this game is also great, there is everything from classical music to my favorite track from the Yakuza series – Machine Gun Kiss. I doubt I’ll play every song available on the base game, not to mention the nearly 100 tracks available in the DLC, but I won’t be putting this down anytime soon since it is such a phenomenal little time waster. If you have the chance to pick this up then don’t hesitate. You may not understand Japanese, but it won’t take away from your enjoyment of this fabulous rhythm game.

SURPRISINGLY DAMN GOOD TAIKO GAME. It's weird to me that a PSP taiko has one of the largest songlists out of the whole series at a whopping like 170 with DLC installed, which some MODERN taiko games don't even compare to. The single player is also quite fun, since you get to take over all of Japan with your QT shrine maiden friend and prove your taiko dojo is the greatest in all of the land. I also give it props for actually having legit difficulty in its singleplayer mode, where WE FINALLY GET TO GO TO ONI DIFFICULTY IN STORY MODE! IT'S NOT STUCK IN MUZUKASHII WHICH IS TOO MUZU E-Z! The only real problem is the fact that it's on PSP so that means you are kinda screwed when it comes to the controls, with nothing other than buttons to control it, making some beatmaps harder than usual since you gotta use the mushy PSP buttons to play. Overall this is unironically one of the best taiko games you can get
