Step aside lumines and tetris, here comes the new LocoRoco motive. This game has a fascinating gameplay built into it which is very simple.. The game takes place in worlds, and each world is developed with each stage. The stage are very simple and takes place with bunch of obstacles you have to overcome, its nothing difficult like tetris but a matter of great fun. Your basically this yellow blob known as Loco thats trying to find his way through the levels.. you as the player are suppose to guide this blob to finish each stage and level. There are many obstacles to skinny little pipes and large hills that you have to control the blob across. The levels get tougher when you get farther, but this game is nothing but addictive gameplay.

The game has some great tunes for you to listen while your blobbing your way through the levels. The music is cute, relaxing, and just plain awsome for any player to enjoy to listen too. Youll be able to hum your way through these tunes since its mostly young kids singing these songs. Youll get sound effects that are quite amusing, but yet sometimes can be a little annoying. Somtimeswhen they are seperated into little Locos they will yell out this crying noise just a normal baby, which sometimes can be a little irratating. But nothing that will drive you insane, since there are other sound effects from bouncing Loco around and making him roll into obstacles.

Controls are so simple that you wont have any trouble learning from it. once you pick this game up, you dive right into it with out any trouble and just start bouncing your way through. The shoulder buttons on the psp L & R are your basic controls to move the blob left and right through the levels. When you hit the L button or R button, the screen tilts to that direction and the blob will flow that way. You also get to use the circle button for different puzzles and obstacles that come your way. With a single press of the circle button the Locos will be struck by lightning and will cause them to shatter into little Rocos. Another command to give Loco is when your holding down the circle button, youll be able to combine all the little Locos into a huge Loco. Graphics are very nice, and colorful to see. Youll never get bored just looking at the Locos and the different types of creatures youll bump into. Each character is specially designed with different colors. The blob like effects on Loco are very well designed that everytime hes rolling left or right, youll notice the effects.
