High: Ha! You walked right into my den of Lizardmen! In your mauled face, hero!
Low: I got a Game Over in stage 3-3. I have to retry from stage 3-1. Again.
WTF?: I'm not sure if the cannibalism is a good thing or a bad thing.
I'd be very hard-pressed to pick another game on the PSP which is as memorable in terms of audio and visuals as this one is. It stands out, has its own style, and is impossible to mistake for anything else. has personality in spades. What it does not have is gameplay.
Every time I hit the Power switch, I'm reminded of why it is that Sony's cult platformer has won so many hearts. Quite simply, no game is as unfailingly happy to see me as LocoRoco, and I really can't help but beam a smile straight back at it.
Wisely disregarding the recent claims that the game carried racist sentiment through its depiction of the black LocoRoco, Parents needn't be concerned about anything here.
