    the only reason i'm giving this a six is because the gameplay is not as easy as others may lead you to believe. it was already difficult to get a perfect score on the first level alone. and it's all uphill from there. and when you're already all stressed out from the hard levels, the last thing you want to see is the over-eager smiling loco roco. but in terms of the only reason i'm giving this a six is because the gameplay is not as easy as others may lead you to believe. it was already difficult to get a perfect score on the first level alone. and it's all uphill from there. and when you're already all stressed out from the hard levels, the last thing you want to see is the over-eager smiling loco roco. but in terms of originality, music, character design, and world visuals, i have nothing bad to say about this game.… Expand

    I think the public has been slightly too generous with their voting. I don't want to take anything away fromt he game but a 9 or 10 rating seems a bit over the top. Loco Roco is a game the PSP desperately needed. Developers are finally taking a leaf from Nintendo's book: i.e addictive gameplay does not require amazing 3- D graphics. Loco Roco is pure genius, very cleverly I think the public has been slightly too generous with their voting.

Developers are finally taking a leaf from Nintendo's book: i.e addictive gameplay does not require amazing 3- D graphics. Loco Roco is pure genius, very cleverly thought out and the music is out of this world. Although the game has relay value, I disagree that it is a captivating game. Once you've taken on the first few maps, you will find it slightly repetitive and you ask yourself is that it? Its a beautifully executed game, original, unique, simple yet effective, the graphics are clear cute and colourful and like I said the music and sounds are just mesmerising. But after a few hours of gameplay, you realise the game does not have as much substance to get you really into it. The Mini games and wireless options are really for kids, nevertheless the main game is both for adults and kids. Recommend, but maybe not at full retail price.… Expand

    Muy buen juego con un gran arte visual pero bastante repetitivo y con minijuegos que dejan que desear.

    More of a minigame than a proper game, i had fun with it for a while, but its extremely shallow and boring after a few hours.

    The happiest game on PSP will cheer you up to no end. It's simple to pick up and play and equally hard to put down. This is the strongest handheld title we've played, well, ever. [July 2006, p.100]

    Aside from experimental unlocks and silly novelties, the LocoRoco experience is one of undiluted fun. If the tilting, blob moving puzzle-platforming doesn't warm your heart, then the catalogue of alarmingly addictive psychotic J-Pop tunes will have you dancing around the living room.

    One aspect of the game which is a bit disappointing is that it is a little easy to complete. We managed to get through the game fairly quickly, but it does increase in difficulty as you complete levels...A crazy game that really shows when a developer sits down and comes up with an original idea, it can be fantastic.
