One of the few Taiko no Tatsujin games to make it to the West (along with the PS4 sister game), it presents the current state of the arcade game in its best form for home consoles. It's got quite a variety of songs at launch, with plenty of DLC to satiate the need for more. There's great party games that I enjoyed with friends, and the recent online mode is a plus for this version. I wish I could play it as often as other rhythm games but I am not the greatest with this one, nor do I care for the harsh difficulty spikes between modes. Still, it's been like this for the franchise for years so I can't really complain there. I would recommend this as a great entry into the franchise, and happy drumming to you if you're able to acquire the taiko accessory only available to Europe and Japan.
