When Tokobot was first announced, I was really hyped for the PSP to finally get a fresh, innovative game of its own. With the possible exception of Lumines, the portable has seen and endless stream of racers, ports, and shovelware. While some of these titles have been good, or even exceptional, it was just nice to see a developer really try and expand upon what the PSP is capable of doing. Tokobot fills a canyon of a gap in the system's line-up, providing light-hearted, adventure-platforming action where only the iffy Ape Escape has been as yet.
However, unlike that title, Tokobot is a completely new game from Tecmo where a young explorer named Bolt controls a small army of cute, little robots who can join together and shapeshift into new contraptions used to navigate the ancient ruins which you are asked to traverse. Bolt can't do much on his own except jump and open doors, so its a good thing that the Tokobots are around to help you foil the plan of an evil general bent on taking over the world. All you learn is three keys and You will enjoy it. TRY IT OUT
