Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun is, in all honestly, a near-perfect rhythm game. Every piece of the puzzle that makes up this game is meticulously chosen to create a wonderful experience for newbies and pros alike. Beginners will be instantly engaged by the simple two-button gameplay, while advanced players will be able to test their strength on the insane speed of higher difficulty tracks. No matter which side you fall on, there’s enough content here to keep you engaged for a long time. »
« If you’re after a rhythm game that’s heartwarming, bold, and a hell of a lot of fun to play at parties, then you don’t have to look any further. »
« It’s not cheap, but then what’s the price of laughter and happiness? »
« The best rhythm game on Nintendo Switch, and one with a surprisingly fun party mode. »
« Polished, fun and incredibly weird at times, Taiko no Tatsujin is nothing short of a blast to play on the Switch. The translation isn’t great and the motion controls don’t quite work, but everything else here is a pure delight. The core gameplay is simple yet addicting, and the party games make this a title you can enjoy with just about anyone. »
« The beat is strong with this one. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'N' Fun is aimed at a specific audience, those that feel comfortable smashing away to J-pop and flailing their arms. And it caters to that audience perfectly. With more than 70 songs and dozens of minigames, it's going to keep players tapping and drumming along for hours, and likely humming the songs for hours after playing too. »
« It's been far too long since Taiko no Tatsujin saw a release in the west but Drum 'n' Fun! brings back Namco's rhythm series in a fantastic way. Even without a drum controller, there's still a ton of fun to be had banging a virtual drum in this charming rhythm game. »

« Amazing rythm game, it's the best taiko game that has been released on console. Now we got rythm festival, which is a nice taiko game and it's the first taiko no tatsujin with a subscription that lets you play hundreds of songs... But it's so limited in the "fun side" of the game. This one in the other side has everything you need, god music selection, a lot of dlcs... I don't know why Bandai decided to delete it... »
« Taiko no Tatsujin always feel different when played as arcade, instead of played as switch game. Anyhow it is one of the popular rhythm games in Asia for decades. »
« I thought I was gonna play so much of this game but I got bored of it real quickly. »
« I think this game is cool, I got it for cheap which is also a plus. I just never got into it enough to play it for long, the song choices are also banger. »
« This game is a blast to play. I got it on sale, so I'm not complaining at all. But it's pretty tough to play at times. The motion controls with the joycons work, but not very well. It's virtually impossible to do 'well' playing like this considering the lack of responsiveness sometimes, the random double registers, etc. You can use buttons, but it's not as fun doing it that way. And honestly, I was under the impression that the experience would be much better with the drum... but even that method disappointed me. Is it better? Yes. It's still not as responsive as it should be, though. So to play the best version of this game, with the game + drum, be prepared to spend a bit more money than it's probably worth. Song selection is fine. There's catchy stuff in there, but it could be a lot better. »
« Great rythm game, awesome music and a lot of party games (i didn't expect this, but they're really fun). »
« My Favorit game of all time!!! Taiko no tatsujin is so fun to play alone and with friends. the presentation is amazing. its reprensating the wonders of japanese colture!
