The Story
Living peacefully on a faraway planet, the LocoRoco and their friends, the Mui Mui, help grow vegetation and look after nature, making the planet a pleasant place to be, playing and singing the days away. When the Moja Troop comes to the planet to take it over, the LocoRoco do not know how to fight against these invaders from outer space. As such, the player assumes the role of "the planet" that is capable of tilting back and forth, and bouncing the LocoRoco in the air, to defeat the Moja Troop and rescue the LocoRoco. The player will also meet many different characters along the way, some of which are unknown to the player. The player must find out how to interact with these characters, and find out what they know, while determining if they are beneficial or should be avoided as foes. Mui Mui can be found in secret areas within the game.

Key Game Features:

• 25 colorful new stages with hidden challenges to uncover
• Enhance LocoRoco by collecting music notes
• Play 6 exciting new mini games
• Challenge friends Ad-hoc 4 player battle
• New LocoRoco Actions: Climb into shells to roll and destroy obstacles, Swing on vines and Jump across grass blades, Sing together and collect notes, Swim underwater

Gameplay
The player controls the planet the LocoRoco inhabit to move the LocoRoco around. The player can also split larger LocoRoco into individual LocoRoco, and then recombine them. Splitting is required into order to fit through tight spaces and also solve many puzzles. (For example, smaller LocoRoco start singing when left idle for a while, which is required at the end of the levels.) There are 5 worlds to clear, each consisting of 8 levels.

The object of each level is to find and eat as many "berries" as possible to increase the size of the LocoRoco, to a maximum of 20. There are also "Pickories" and "Mui Mui" to find. The "Pickories" are used as currency for playing the minigames Mui Mui Crane and Chuppa Chuppa, while the "Mui Mui" unlock more minigames and music for the Loco House. The player must also be careful to avoid enemies, mainly "Burrs" (spiky obstacles) and "Moja", which can cause them to lose LocoRoco or even die if the last LocoRoco is lost.

LocoRoco2 equals FUN! (2009-02-27)
It's great to see that the occasional fun, creative game is still being developed. After watching the video for this game, I thought that LocoRoco2 would be kinda fun but I was worried that it would be too easy and that it would quickly get boring. I got the game a couple of days ago and LocoRoco2 is not only fun, it's almost addicting.

The mechanics of the game are pretty basic. You use 3 buttons to control the LocoRoco through about 25 levels. So it's easy to play but seriously it's not so easy that it becomes boring, it's just not stress-inducing like so many other games out there.

This game far exceeded my expectations. After playing for a couple of days, I continue to look forward to picking this game up. Seriously, it's only $20, do yourself a favor, pick up LocoRoco2, kick back, relax, and enjoy.

Addictive Fun! (2009-02-23)
I have never been the biggest videogame enthusiast since I am more of a puzzle and challenge kind of girl rather than action adventure or shoot em up game. I just recently purchased a PSP so I had a change of pace from my Cooking Mama and Super Mario Bros on the DS that you have to use the pointer for most of the time to play (sometimes I just want to play a good ole fashioned videogame). I turned this on and literally have had to make a large effort to put it down since! It is challenging enough that you have to think about things however it isn't to the point where you just get frustrated and give up and refuse to play the game anymore ha ha. I can see how if you are a crazy action fanatic this can get boring for you, however if you are like me and like the puzzles but don't want to be stumped into not being able to do anything in the game then this is the game for you. I am looking into purchasing the first one as well since apparently it has more levels yet the same type of play.

Try the demo first (2009-02-22)
I was disappointed over this game. It gets repetitious really quick.

Go on PSN(Playstation Network), and download the demo and see if you like it. It's okay.

The demo is only 64MB so I recommend trying the demo.

Blobs of Fun (2009-02-14)
One of the most brilliant games on the PSP is back for a second helping, and it does NOT disappoint. Really, this is one of those PSP games that will have your unit shutting off because you didn't notice how long you had been playing and how low your battery is running. Like its predecessor, LR2 is a classic because it is so simple to learn and easy to control, yet you need skill and practice to pick up all the berries, mui muis, and other bonuses. Apparently there aren't as many worlds in this sequel as in the original game, but there are more goals to achieve in each world, including collecting and playing musical notes. There are also new minigames, including some sort of jousting game with ad hoc multiplayer support. Game levels and graphics, plus the variety of game play, are again inspired. LR2 is quite simply a must-have for PSP owners, and one of the most exciting exclusive titles for the system. Just about the most fun $20 can buy you these days.
