Taiko Drum Master

THE GOOD:
~If you're into Japanese animation, the graphics and audio will please you.
~The game is a lot of fun to play with friends, or even alone.
~The track list is familiar to Americans, instead of one of obscure foreign songs.
~Different difficulties, minigames and plenty of unlockable songs provide for HUGE replay value.

THE BAD:
~The "cuteness" of the game will turn many players off, especially males.
~The minigames can get repetitive after a time.
~The drumsticks can cause blisters or bruises on hands.
