Edge Review: LocoRoco 2

Edge writes: "It's a common misconception that fat things are jolly, but one that the relentlessly rotund and cheerful LocoRocos do little to dispel. It's impossible to play LocoRoco 2 and avoid smiling, singing along and laughing. 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.

And for LocoRoco, there is no higher purpose than simple amusement. The visuals are as exceptionally stylised as those of the first game: flat slices of colour, free of textures, cram into every millimetre of the PSP's screen, filling out the collection of bizarre creatures and weird environmental features that make up LocoRoco's world. It's all completely coconuts, of course, but as you fight off angry bees, bop big-eyed monkeys from their trees and collect a 'Yummy Nut' it becomes clear that LocoRoco 2 has the kind of skewed humour that works."

Why does everyone always forget to mention the two Syphon Filter games when making a "psp has/doesn't have games list"?

In my opinion those are pretty much the best games on there. Especially Logan's Shadow.

Just as it's fun to insult PS3 for no real reason in terms of proof or necessity.

Funny, I'd rather have the 20 decent-great games PSP releases every year than the multitudes of Nintendogs and Pokemon.

geda5599d ago

sweet, so that's like an 8.5 for edge standards?

LeonSKennedy4Life5599d ago

No, it's on the PSP.

That's a 10.

5 franchises that should come to PS Vita

PS3 Attitude: "The recent release of LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation Vita has opened the floodgates for massive franchises to appear on the system, with the heavyweights of Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty to follow very soon. The Vita could always do with more games though, so we’ve been discussing which franchises we’d most like to see on Sony’s fledgling handheld."

i would like to see the doom franchise on the vita. good times

SandwichHammock4217d ago

LOL. I sees what yous done therez.
Doom and Vita go hand in hand. ;)

TENTONGUN4217d ago

lol why do you want it to fail? thats cold

GribbleGrunger4217d ago (Edited 4217d ago )

I don't care if that was trolling, it deserves a bubble!

oh, come on you disagreers, it was funny

Godchild10204217d ago (Edited 4217d ago )

I only agreed because I found it funny. I think the Vita is far from being doomed, I have had it since day one and the downloadable titles have made the Vita worth it. Yes, I believe it needs more retail releases, but it's hard to deny the games it has had this month.

I was contemplating the use of /s. Should've gone with my gut I see.

TENTONGUN4217d ago

i see, went right over my head

rpd1234217d ago

Yeah I always think about that too. People might not get it without the /s and think you're a giant asshole. But I understood you were being sarcastic without it.

OhReginald4217d ago

skyrim would be definetly possible. If it happens I hope it gets developed properly knowing bethseda's track record.

erikthegman4217d ago

Fanboy goggles aside, Lost Odyssey would be beautiful on Vita

KMCROC4217d ago (Edited 4217d ago )

Do you really see this happening

a role-playing video game developed by Mistwalker and feelplus and published by Microsoft Game Studios (sound like it would be cool,but something tell me their will be a whole ton cash exchanging hands & demands on the developer to change it some what. if it happened)

stefhutch204217d ago

Yeah, Lost Odyssey on Vita is a nice idea, but I'm 99% sure the IP is owned by Microsoft.
