The seventh Taiko no Tatsujin game for the Playstation 2 is another crowd pleaser with an engaging Battle Mode where up to eight players may participate. For solo drum masters, the Story Mode allows a gamer to travel around Waku Waku Bouken Land which is broken up into little areas. Land on each spot and and tackle the Taiko no Tatsujin games within. Four new mini-games are included with our favorite being the challenging Santa Taiko game where a Taiko drum travels over a city dropping presents to sleeping children below.The game features 42 songs at the outset of the game but an additional 6 tracks may be unlocked as certain conditions are met. The music ranges the genres of J-pop, children's songs, folk music, and familiar anime tracks from Futari wa Puricure and Naruto. The Namco original song, "Bouken Hiyori" is hot and all of the classical music remixes are great including "Beethoven's Turkish March" which is a lively and animated interpretation that plays fast and pounds it out with a driving beat in the background. Other notable songs include "Re:member" of Naruto fame, "Mahou o kakete" which is an Idolm@ster song, "Pecori Love Lesson," "Real Voice," and "Next Level." They're all gems and we're nabbing the soundtrack whenever it reaches market. «NCS Game Notes»
