About LocoRoco
Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, LocoRoco is an innovative 2D platform/action game available exclusively for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Featuring unique controls utilizing the “L” and “R” shoulder buttons, players are tasked with controlling via “tilting or bumping” the landscape of the LocoRoco in order to help the friendly harmonious jelly-like characters navigate through the level and keep them out of harm's way.
In its first three months on the US market, LocoRoco has quickly become one of the most critically acclaimed PSP games to date:
"LocoRoco is a refreshingly charming, fun and unique game for players of all ages. It's a cinch to pick up but nearly impossible to put down." – CNN.com
"Kind of like a water balloon filled with tomato soup, the LocoRoco's flowing movements are hypnotic and mesmerizing. Add to that an upbeat soundtrack and you've got a must-have experience." – Los Angeles Times
"LocoRoco is definitely a landmark title for the PSP…." – Associated Press
"With imaginative levels on snowy landscapes or inside whales, LocoRoco uses charm and simplicity of design to create something near perfection." – The New York Times
