Loco Roco (PSP)

I was bought a PSP recently as a bit of a fun gift, its well known that I have a bit of an addiction to gaming, and what better than a playstation i could carry around? My shiny new toy came with LocoRoco, and while I am usually an RPG player I wanted something I could play on the go, without having to compose that evelasting question "ok, now i havent played this in a couple of weeks, just where the hell am i in the story?...ok stuff it, i'm starting a new game" LocoRoco delivers all this and more, it is a lovely little compact game, engaging and endearing, Appealing crossmarket, and the proof as they say, is in the pudding, I couldnt ...  Read the complete review

This game is great fun, buy it! Although it would probably win awards for being the worst, and shortest, review on the net the above sentence sums up my feelings about this game perfectly. However, as I don't want to be run out of the DooYoo village by any lynch mobs I will of course elaborate......

Bought this as saw it in a catalogue and had heard it was very fun. All in all that's true, locoroco certainly is a fun game for all the family, the controls are simple, using the L and R buttons to tilt the world and pressing simultaneously to cause your blob to jump. Simple story, being to defeat the "Moja" who have caused harm to your planet and to rescue your friend locorocos who have been scattered throughout the world. The game includes puzzles to solve, items to collect to build your own loco house (which perhaps I doubt many people are actually bothered to do) and minigames, which are quite fun but require unlocking. ...  Read the complete review
