Fun:
First off, I have well over 100 hours in each of the previous Patapon games and loved them. Patapon is a rhythm based side scrolling game. It is really difficult to draw similarities because quiet simply there is no other game like it.
This game tries to bring a few new things to the table.
I'll start with...
The Good
1 Just like the previous titles, the game play is very addictive.
2 Art style is phenomenal
3 Game play is unique and refreshing.
4 You can, for the most part, play it in 5 minute bursts when you have the time. I pick it up and put it down all night long in between other activities.
5 You can also play it for hours on end and to be honest there are likely hundreds of hours of game play here.
6 Its true, in this version you can level up your weapons at the blacksmith. This is important as it is hard to advance if you ignore this feature.
7 This is a big one, your patapons no longer die in battle. I am sure Sony realized that everyone was resetting their PSPs anyway. The prospect of having a character you spent dozen of hours developing lost forever was absolutely stupid.
Now for the bad.
1 Much like the 2nd game, there comes a point when you have to do a little level grinding in order to advance. This could be a lack of skill on my part, but I am an avid gamer and have played the first two extensively so if it is happening to me it will certainly happen to others.
...Edit Level your weapons at the blacksmith! I was not and it made things much more difficult.
2 This game is much deeper in terms of the extras outside of battle, for one thing thing they added multiplayer, but getting into a game is not intuitive and too be honest I found the process cumbersome.
More Good (previously undecided)
These are things I'm not sure that I like or dislike yet
1 You no longer collect materials to create your patapons at the mater tree. You now start with 4 basic patapons and all the later ones are evolve by leveling the ones previously unlocked. It's an interesting feature, but I find myself playing patapons I don't like as much to see what they unlock. I'm sure that's not all bad, but it can be frustrating.
Edit... In the in end, I liked this feature, I discovered that you can make vastly different armies with very different strategies. In this regard, this game is much, much deeper than the first two.
2 You no longer have JUJU, now you summon a djinni its much different (easier) but changes the strategy again not necessarily bad, just different.
Edit... This had to grow on me I definitely like it now.
Final thoughts
This is an absolutely stunning game.
If you'er new to Patapon, start with the first game. You will more than likely ending buying this one in the long run as well because more patapon is never a bad thing.

Fun:
i was speechless when i first put in the game into my psp there's some epic cutscenes in the game too plus there's many more upgrades then there was in the other games and i just love the uber hero there hero attacks can go from pretty basic to wiping your opponents out in a one hit knock-out if your looking for a great video game patapon 3 is something that almost all gamers will like,love,enjoy,and crave.

Fun:
I must say it has been a long wait for this game but it is certainly worth it! The new level up system makes creating your Patapon army interesting and challenging! Unlike previous Patapon games where you had tons of Patapons running around this one limits you to just four. However, thanks to the level up system and multiplayer options, this shouldn't be a problem.
I also love the addition of a blacksmith and store so you can upgrade the weapons you love and sell the ones you have fifty of.
This game will take a little time to get adjusted to because it's different than the other two Patapon games, but you'll soon find it as fun and addicting as the rest if you give it a chance!
