  1. Once again, the LocoRoco 2 soundtrack takes center stage for me, with some great tunes scattered about the levels that are only aided by the different noises the LocoRoco and other creatures will make that seem to run in tandem with the music at times.
  2. It is a game that is definitely the perfect game for any gamer in the family, from the hardcore to the most casual.
  3. Still hands-down the cutest franchise on the PSP, LocoRoco 2 adds enough new ideas to its already unique gameplay to make it a great improvement on the original game.
  4. It’s one of the happiest pieces of software ever released, constantly throwing tunes, trinkets and new tricks at the player simply to amuse them. [Jan 2009, p.93]

    Essentially the same as the first LocoRoco, but that's not a bad thing. Minor gameplay additions in terms of enemies, friends and platforming. Music mini-games added, which is a good thing. More alive and more populated than the prequel. All and all, a worthy upgrade and an excellent starting point for those who never tried the first one. PS: A demo is already out on the PS Europe store. Expand
  2. An imaginative and original game that utilizes unique gameplay and fun visuals. LocoRoco 2 is light and breezy and has that classic easy to learn/hard to master learning curve. The music is lively and the colors jump out at you. This creates a great energy running throughout the game. The game is a joy to play even if its lightness means that it won't be particularly engaging or involving. Expand
