Celebrating the recent UK launch of Patapon 2, Sony Europe has teamed up with Netherlands-based online game distributor SPIL GAMES and developer Kerb to launch a Flash mini-game titled Patapon 2: The Art of War. Playable on PC and Mac, The Art of War features three short levels of basic Patapon gameplay with the arrow keys on your keyboard serving as the drumbeat controls (left arrow is your Pata, right arrow is your Pon). At the end of each level you unlock various background, character and enemy graphics based on your score, and then once all levels have been completed you get to make a wallpaper using the unlocked art.

Patapon 2: The Art of War is available to play now at sites like gamesgames.com and agame.com. The only catch is the game will only be available for one short week. Starting today, it will remain live until March 16th.

Already available in Japan and Europe, the real PSP Patapon 2 ships in the US on May 5th, as revealed last week in this new teaser trailer.
