    This would have been a fun game if they had stuck with the gameplay of the original PSP title. You can no longer tilt the entire world, only select platforms. Also, as there is no way to save your progress, you can loose two hours of play if a few of your LocoRoco get eaten.

    How could they screw this up so badly? I loved the PSP game. Instead of more of the same, we get a treasure hunt for Locorocos that rarely listen to you, in rooms too large to keep track of them, and aggravating touch-screen mechanics for some of the most necessary puzzle elements. This is such a disappointment. Did the developers ever stop to wonder if any of this was actually fun? GiveHow could they screw this up so badly? I loved the PSP game.

    This is a screen saver for children, except the controls are so floaty they would have trouble. The music is its only good part, but grows tiresome quickly. Worst $7 i ever spent, ever.

    It always amazes me when the big mags review these $7 games with the same criteria they would a $70 game. Gimme a break! It may be short, but you paid 1/10th the price for it. Since it's a reviewers job vs hobby and they get the games for free I think they lose site of this. If Halo 3 is 10 hours and costs $60-70 and this game is fun for 2 hours and costs $7...

Don't you think that means job well done? It may not be the same huge blockbuster experience but it's fun none the less and occupies your time nicely. This game is good in the same way that flOw was good, an "entertaining experience" more so than a traditional game and it deserves a play. P.S. Another cool Sixaxis title would make a Wii fanboy proud. Expand

    I really like this game.
    The low reviews this game got from some of the major reviewers make no sense. The game is short, true, but you pay what you get. The game is cheap. It cost me 3 euros. It's well worth that money.
    But if you take time and try to save ALL the cocorecchos the game will take some time to finish. I love to shake the controller to wake up the dudes that are

    I didn't gave this game an 8 because one important thing is missing: a Save game option. I never give 10s, and a 9 is just for really fantastic games.

    Unique and clever game that definatly is worth the money it costs. We've got several hours of gameplay out of it and we still are playing it. It seems short at first but each play opens up a new 'gate' which expands the area quite a bit. Plus it has 3 mini games to find as well. My wife loves this game.

    You'd expect this to be a Wii title, but it really works so well with the pad. Music will make you die of happiness. Buy this game for

    This game is excellent. Much more content delivered than expected. Hours of unique gameplay. I love how it's not just a port of the PSP game. There is still lots of tilting to be done via SIXAXIS, but they implement another mechanic to get the locorocos to places you'd like them to go. I also love how you shake sleeping locoroco 'fruits' off vines with the SIXAXIS.

    A cute and fun title that's unfortunately marred by quite a bit of sitting around and waiting.
  2. The pure charisma of LocoRoco Cocorrecho will win you over, though the game itself is over before you know it.
  3. You can't really fault it for value, because, for GBP 1.99, the few hours of brilliant entertainment you get here are well worth it. A big, warming, chain reaction of delight that you'll want to revisit again and again.
