Patapon demo announced, comes with exclusive content

According to recent word from Gamestop, the company will be offering a free Demo of Patapon with all preorders for the game. I wrote a preview on Patapon earlier this week and when I heard this news I had to share it, in case any of you are as excited for this release as I am. Starting this coming week, if you preorder the $19.99 game with Gamestop you will recieve a demo with a few sample levels on it. This is a great opportunity to test out the very original gameplay in this title and find out if it appeals to you or not (you can always change your pre-order if you don’t like it). Also included in this offer is a special bonus, a weapon totally unique to the demo called the “spear of protection”. How exactly the weapon works hasn’t been revealed but reports will likely roll in this coming week.

Another added bonus is the ability to import this weapon into the final game via a save file on the PSP, and for a demo thats not a bad perk at all. Weather or not Patapon will live up to it’s hype is yet to be seen, but I know I personally am hoping for a sleeper hit in this title. Keep your eyes here at PVG for demo impressions later this week and a full review when the game is released February 28th.
