   No better and no worse than the original - but still an absolute joy in nearly every respect. This is a must-have title for the PSP. Read more

   • Downs: Perhaps a little too short. The Mui Mui house could be developed into something that's actually worthwhile to do. Added mini-games are stupid.
   • Ups: Such an uplifting game. Platforming and puzzling perfection.

   Imagine that someone told you one of the best games on the PSP didn't have a well-known franchise character, gameplay that pushed the tech of the system or was a port of a PS2 title. You might not believe them, but almost two and a half years ago, Sony introduced LocoRoco, a unique puzzler that was engaging and addictive. Read more

   Closing Comments It may not be nearly as deep as the first game in terms of levels, but LocoRoco 2 delivers the same kind of visual flair, solid gameplay and musical addictiveness that the first game had. By expanding on the number of mini-games and diversions, the game adds a ton of content to the series, and provides plenty of things to do for those players that feel a strong need to unlock everything within the title.

   LocoRoco 2 isn’t better than the original and it’s certainly not worse. It’s more of the same, with a few tweaks here and there – and that’s just perfect in my books. I’m not sure whether the series has a third game in it, not without bringing something new to the table, however I wouldn’t say no to another ‘expansion’ a year or so from now either. Read more

   LocoRoco for the PSP is back, and as cutesy as ever. Fans of the original game will have a fair idea of what to expect from this sequel, but there is a descent amount of new game play to label this as a worthy follow up title. I also believe this is the first full PSP title available via download of the PSN, as well as on UMD from your favourite retailer. If you’ve never played a LocoRoco game before you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a childish kids game, not so. Read more

   Just like the original Loco Roco, this game is addictively fun. You control the gravitational direction of the gameworld to manipulate the Loco's. It's fun and quirky with music and animations to match. The only thing that stops this getting an excellent rating is that it is noticably shorter than the first Loco Roco. Read more
