Taiko Drum Master (also known as "Taiko no Tatsujin") is a drumming game for the Sony PlayStation 2 based on the popular Japanese arcade game. A drum simulating the taiko is played in time with music. It is made by Namco. The home version can be played with a TaTaCon, a special controller which looks like the face of a Taiko drum. Players control one of the two main characters - WadaDon, a red-faced and blue body taiko, and WadaKatsu, a blue-faced and red body taiko.

Don is the main protagonist of the Taiko no Tatsujin series. He is a taiko drum with a white edge and four legs, a red face (which appears to be moly orange), and a light blue body. Don's dream is to share the beauty of Taiko with the world. Three years have passed since he moved into the Wada House, and he's become quite popular around town. He has a monstrous appetite and sometimes has expensive shopping at the Wada House which may take over for the worst. He usually ends his sentences with "Ta-don", meaning "Ba-dum" in Japanese. His nickname is "Don-chan". The voice of Don is Narahashi Miki.

This lively game from Namco is based on Taiko, a traditional Asian style of drumming and dance. Though similar in concept to the contemporarily released Donkey Konga, this PlayStation 2 title is actually based on an arcade game that predates both console releases. Using a special drum controller, players are challenged to keep the beat with style as the music plays. The North American version of Taiko Drum Master features more than two dozen songs, including covers of pop hits such as "Material Girl," "Love Shack," and "My Sharona," familiar classical music like Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" and Bizet's "Carmen Prelude," and original themes from Namco games such as Ridge Racer and Soul Calibur II.

GAMEPLAY:

Symbols moving horizontally along a timeline show what to hit and when. Home versions distinguish single and double strikes, arcade versions hard and soft strikes.

Successful play builds up a life meter. If the meter is past a certain point by the end of the song, the song is passed.

In the Japanese version, subtitles under the symbols give the pronunciation of the sounds (for example, "do don do don") using a traditional system called kuchi shoga.

Despite the game's cute and childish appearance, many players find the game quite difficult to master. Players need to accomplish 75% of the drum chart to pass, which can be very challenging on harder levels.
