LocoRoco (PSP)
Jun 26th
It’s practically medicinal.
I was just feeling the usual Monday morning gloom, then realised that I had enough time to play a level before getting the bus to work.
I am now full of happiness and joy… Well, okay, I’m still knackered and wishing I could crawl back in to bed, but I’m not as gloomy.

I bought a new four-way extension lead so I could plug my PSP charger in by the sofa, instead of the kitchen.
This game is… just… love.

Oh my.
This is so good.
And it may be easy getting to the end of stages (so far), but finding all the fruit and secrets is proving to be… well, I’ve not done it on any of the levels so far.

We’ve seen the demos, now we have the real game.
It’s lovely. Very, very lovely.
Played through the first level a couple of times and then quit, because people round the office were threatening me with violence. I love the soundtrack, but I seem to be in a minority…
Loco Roco Demo
May 11th
A free UMD with MCV this week containing a Loco Roco demo.
It’s not the same demo, though.
It’s even not the same level as the other demo but in English.
It’s a completely different level. Best!
Well, actually, I’m not sure if it’s quite as good as the downloadable demo – fewer secrets, no singing – but it’s still a free level of Loco Roco excellence so I really won’t be complaining.

Excellent, I found a brand new area and got another little man.
There’s still that one I can see and not get to, though. I’m wondering if I have to use the wheels to launch me somehow, but I can’t see how.

It’s very, very replayable.
There are still secret areas I can see but not get to. And probably ones I can’t see.
Loco Roco Demo

Those lovely people at Sony have released a demo of Loco Roco for the PSP. I’ve just spent a good forty-five minutes or so playing it. And it’s wonderful. It’s a 2D platformer at heart, where you control a blob and try to get from left to right, eating fruit to make you grow. Left shoulder button tilts the world left, right one tilts it right, pressing both makes you jump. Press O quickly to split your big blob into little ones, hold O down to recombine them. It’s got lots of charm, bags of fun and tons of secrets. The obvious comparison has to be Katamari Damacy. Hoepfully this’ll be another – gnng – “wacky” game that crosses over to a larger audience.
(Well, at least in the States Katamari seemed to crossover. Over here it just seemed to die, as far as I can tell.)
It’s a sure buy for me, though I can see it getting too hard later in the game and making me cry.
If you have a PSP and you don’t mind updating your firmware then you really need to go and get this. Instructions over at Eurogamer should see you through. Go, go, go!
