Loco Roco review video (PSP)
Loco Roco is an innovative 2D platform/action game available exclusively for the PSP. The peaceful world of the LocoRoco are under attack by the not-so-nice Moja Corps. These evil outer space creatures want nothing but to capture the blissful LocoRoco and take them from their land of blowing flowers, lively creatures and pastel scenery. As the planet where the LocoRoco inhabit, players must tilt, roll and bounce the LocoRoco to safety.
Featuring unique controls utilizing the “L” and “R” shoulder buttons, players are tasked with controlling via “tilting or bumping” the landscape of the LocoRoco in order to help them navigate through the level and keep them out of harm’s way. With more than 40 stages, players control and guide the LocoRoco through vibrant, thriving and lush worlds filled with slippery slopes, swing ropes, and more.
Featuring six different types of LocoRoco that include their own voices and actions, players will be enchanted by captivating music that communicates the joyous world of these LocoRoco. In addition, LocoRoco features the rewarding LocoHouse, three mini-games, and wireless features.
It may look and sound beautiful, but is that enough to cover questionable gameplay? Find out in this Loco Roco video review.
To quote the video review: “Throughout the game you encounter different LocoRoco’s, who you can then play as. Before each level, you can pick between the ones you’ve unlocked, and by the end of the game you’ll have six to choose from. Unfortunately, there really is no difference between the different LocoRoco’s apart from their appearance and the song they sing. Their abilities are exactly the same. What’s worse, is that none of the LocoRoco’s are as cute or as lovable as the first one you play as. The same goes for their songs.
There’s no denying that LocoRoco is a fun and unique game, and definitely a game made to enhance the portable aspect of the PSP. But it’s kinda the videogame equivalent of techno music: it’s simple and catchy, but if you play it too much at once you might get bored.”
