As usual though, there is no love for Canada...

It could be assumed that the usual difference of who is discriminated by a skill testing question likely has part of it, among other legal differences.

Next thing ya know, Atlus won't be sending the bonus cd's with our copies of Y's.

Y'know I never made that connection with the "bad guys" till someone pointed it out, showed me various pictures and finally explained what the hell it was all about and why.

Racism is so pathetic.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.:

What my, perhaps simple, mind still can't comprehend is the fact that when you play as a black guy landing down headshots on white people its no biggie, but the moment a white protagonist in africa is shooting down black zombies its drama all over the place...

@zelfmoordkonijn: Its because of slavery. Blacks were looked down upon, sold and killed because of the color of their skin, while (I believe) that has never happened to whites. While in the past (and now) whites could never know what that was like, I think we should be getting to a time where we can look past what has happened.

Although I could just be an ignorant person, I dunno.

I am Native American, and my people had it the worst. But we are not always bringing up the race card, and have a Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton saying everything is racism.

We stay quiet in our concentration camps, oh I mean "reservations" ...and Casinos to boot.

Was that a claymation cutscene slipped in there, or am I just bleary-eyed too early in the morning?

Regardless, I'm pleased at its release. Yeah, I read the review and I know there are some things lacking, but agreed re: all the feel-good spirits. I don't mind repetition if it brightens my day. I'll pick it up as soon as I finish Patapon.

@Shadowed: Who knows! It's VERY strange the game doesn't have a US release date.

Still, it's a PSP game, nothing stopping you from importing it.

I wasn't even aware they were making a sequel, let alone that it was out. Is this an import or something? Sorry if it was in the review. I didn't read it as I don't have a PSP.

@yoshirox85:　If you didn't read the review and justify that by the fact that you don't own a PSP, I'm not quite sure why you're responding in the first place. If you are curious, the review is kind of, you know...right there...so cluttering up a comment board doesn't make a world of sense, to me.

Hmmm, might give this one a try some time. The original was good, but lacked variety.

Shorter review than normal? Is this a characteristic of portable games or is this game exceptionally light on content (...perhaps lending to your dislikes with the game)?

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): Could it just be Plunkett's general distaste for all things Sony shining through with a bit of low-grade trolling?

@Nightshift Nurse: Mile High Colonic: I actually had no idea he didn't like Sony. The review itself seemed to me to be more positive then not... I was just wondering why it's so short.

...

Now about Nightshift Nurse, I swear this is the name of some hentai anime! You dirty dog you :D Clearly I would never watch such filth :3

Hmm, I own the game and own the first one (made me buy a PSP), and it strikes me that there really is enough new stuff there to warrant a sequel. There is also much more variety.
It has been a while since I played LR 1 though so my memory of that may be clouded a bit.

I would recommend this game to pretty much any PSP owner though who is into quirky content. Also it's a great game to have your kids play (in my case my niece) since it does need virtually no explanations.

That is an epic failure in terms of controls. The tilt thing is ok, I guess as a game mechanic but the sensitivity is horrid. And why do I need to hit the left and right arrows simultaneously to jump? We couldn't map that the the "Up" arrow? There is also a wicked delay between me saying "Jump" and it actually doing it.

Redesign this to work with my mouse and let me click to jump and then maybe. Otherwise it can die.

@Slothboy: It more closely mirrors the actual gameplay by hitting both buttons to jump, and it basically...works on the PSP version of Locoroco. Flash games designed to promote console games usually suck anyways.

Or, if you wanted to be all illegal and such, you could just download the PAL beta version leaked last week.

Locoroco 2, while not having as many levels as Locoroco 1, is a much, much much better game. The level design is top-notch and more varied, and also a bit harder to complete 100% (yay!). There are quite a few minigames, from races to 4-player shoving competitions, even a shmup. There is a stronger "gotta collect them all" urge in this game, as tow of the minigames require playing levels over and over and over to collect enough parts to complete them- but that is OK, as the levels have more going on it won't feel as much a cop-out move. Levels also "poewr up" once you collect enough notes (though they actually get easier, so maybe "power down" is more appro), and have some nice features like...a map! They're also populated by a lot more creatures this time around, which makes some scenes a little more disgusting.

It will probably also get in the news again for being "racist."

If you even had a passing interest in Locoroco, this game is a must buy.
