Namco's Taiko no Tatsujin series is a great rhythm-based game which, unfortunately for the rest of the world, has never been "exported" to North
America or Europe. Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS: 7tsu no Shima no Daibouken is the second installment in the DS series, following Taiko no Tatsujin DS. The game was released in April 2008 and it is already enjoying the appreciation of fans in Japan, by managing to bring together some of the most beloved Japanese artists together, especially for the fans to enjoy. However, eleven classical songs are featured - which makes this title more complex than its predecessor. Still, some of the songs are only available as unlockables, and we have them here for you, together with the other things you can unlock while playing.
