5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, worth the money :)

Game worked flawlessly on my Slim PS2, the TaTaCon works without issue. You may have to practice to see exactly how hard you'll need to be hitting it though to register hits (I'm used to barely having to tap on my Rock Band drumset), but not a big deal.

Also note this is for NTSC consoles only, and is in English. The PAL/Japanese version of this game is Taiko no Tatsujin (and there are multiple releases of this game, I think it goes up to 11).

If you want to use the TaTaCon on your computer (to play osu! for example), you will need an appropriate adapter. The current adapter I use from RadioShack (a PSX to USB adapter from like 2003?) does not work well with the PS2 TaTaCon (sensitivity and response issues). The Trio Linker Plus II was said to possibly work well with the TaTaCon, but I have no first-hand experience with this.

Also, the sticks that came with my box are labeled with "Taiko no Tatsujin". I guess Taiko Drum Master didn't get it's own sticks created for it :p (note this does not affect gameplay at all)

The media could not be loaded.
 I would have written this review much closer to when I had received this game.
First off, the game had came in early and I was ecstatic to boot it up later that night. That is where the problems had started. The game would not load. I did almost everything I could aside from swapping out the disc reader itself. Thinking my console was dying I decided to test 10 games, five psx and five ps2, of different condition. All of them worked aside from this game.

I only received the game itself, no drums, box, drum sticks, or anything else that says is included. There is almost no way to contact the seller. There is no phone number for them or any contact information. Luckily Amazon refunded me, but definitely beware. Disc and case for the game look good, but from reading other reviews and my experience, you’re likely not going to get what you ordered.

I bought this to use with the PC game "osu!" and boy does it work super well, I have also used it in a PS2 emulator playing the included game and that was super fun too, as you could tell I bought this mostly for the drum, as it was being sold new(ten years AFTER the original release :0) and works super well, if you plan to buy it for the same purpose as me you will need a PS2 to USB adapter with it, they go pretty cheap, and you will need a application to map the keys(I used JoyToKey as it is free and easy to use) the game itself is super fun and addicting, however your arms will get tired so take breaks often.
If your worried that only the game will come in, if you buy it new it comes in a big box with the games cover on it(the pic is the box, not the games case!) for $30 it was a hell of a deal!

3.0 out of 5 stars Only a breadcrumb for the Taiko-starving
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014

To anyone who doesn't know already about how fun Taiko Drum Master games are (and if you do, skip to the next paragraph), they are phenomenally addictive. At first it seems really simple, because all it is is just hitting the middle or the side, right? Well, as you might expect, it can get extremely complicated when they throw tons and tons of notes at you on harder difficulties. However, it's extremely easy to find that middle ground in Taiko Drum Master, much easier than DDR or Rock Band. As you practice, you learn to trust your ear and the rhythm more, and you learn and anticipate patterns. It seems like, as long as you pick a good difficulty, you are always learning something new, yet have an idea of what's coming up. This spot right here is the perfect spot, not too easy or relaxing, yet not too frustrating.

However, this game comes with a really small number of songs, less than 30 before you unlock anything. You're basically going to end up playing "I'm a Believer," "Lady Marmalade," and the theme song to Jimmy Neutron a million times over. There's no career mode option or anything; the only other game mode option aside from taiko mode is mini-game mode, which is really nothing that special. Even if you are a fanatic like me, it's hard to keep up your momentum when your options are so limited.

Since this is really the only Taiko Drum Master game available in America, it's hard for me to say it, but I can't recommend it to everybody. It's not worth it to keep one or two taiko drum controllers lying around for just one game. This game could be a great addition to the other taiko drum games you could get... if you're willing to import a Japanese PS2 and learn Japanese to navigate the menus.

It's a shame. Although this game is a great game that almost anyone could enjoy, Taiko no Tatsujin games are pretty much only worth it to those who already know what Taiko drums are and know that Tatsujin means master anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game is really fun! i just wish it came with a drumcon like they have it advetised.

I bought this a while back and it is in fact a fun game. it's just that sellers on amazon don't realize there's a separate listing for the game without a drum and list it here at a low price. if the price is lower than 10 bucks don't buy it. cuz chances are it doesn't have the drumcon. I fell victim to that. and the drum is unreasonably expensive. ANYWAY The game itself is a very family friendly and fun game to play. it has a pretty decent amount of songs but i think they could have made a better selection. the mini games are fun as well. it's great for casual gamers or family/parties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and addicting--a real winner!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2007

I love it! Truly not just for kids or teens. So much fun that when it got too late to bang on the drums for fear of disturbing the neighbors, I switched to the regular controller and made no noise at all--and it's easier because you don't have to be sure to hit the drum just right so my scores were higher. The songs are really great compared to what I've heard on the DDR games. At least with this one I am familiar with most of the titles. I honestly think that this would make a great gift for a player of any age. It will remain a challenge for along time because of all the levels. This is a real winner!
