Give LocoRoco 2 A Try In Your Browser

If the thought of waiting until next week (or until some as-yet undetermined date, if you are in North America) for LocoRoco 2 is making you feel all wobbly, help is at hand.

Until November 21st, the self-explanatory Games.co.uk is hosting an 'official minigame' demo with a selection of levels for you to ooze and flop around.

All the usual LocoRoco oddness is present and correct - if you are not humming the 'You've got some musical notes' theme after five minutes you have a stronger will than I.

LocoRoco 2 And the Ouchie Bee Sting

LocoRoco 2 is an awful lot like LocoRoco. Sure it has a German blob and swimming and a rhythm game, but all of that is just a few more cherries on what I've always felt was a wonderful sundae of a Playstation Portable game.

I sped through a single level of the game at Tokyo Game Show earlier this week and quickly found myself falling back in love with the cute graphics and catchy nonsense music. The controls remain great and, unless my imagination was playing tricks on me, feel a bit more responsive than the first time through. More »

LocoRoco 2: Afros, Home, Luft Balloons and Water

LocoRoco designer Tsutomu Kouno knows better than to mess with a good thing and LocoRoco was most certainly that. Taking direct control away from gamers, the light-hearted gelatinous-filled title instead had gamers shifting the world around the characters to move them.

Personally, I loved the game. It was packed with character, catchy music and made-up language. LocoRoco 2 looks to be all of that and more. Maybe, just maybe, a bit too much more, but really we'll have to wait to see.

To kick off his demo of the game Kouno brought up a level and showed us the familiar blob bopping along the cartoon landscape. The controls are the same, but now there are some new additions to the characters' moves. You can, for instance, now swim though water levels with the same sort of controls. More »

LocoRoco 2 Trailer to Listen to

Sony's PSP title LocoRoco is back with a cleverly named sequel: LocoRoco 2. And it's brought annoyingly catchy music with it! If you watch this trailer at least twice, you'll have that tune stuck in your head all day. Once, even.
