These adorable blobs will roll their way into your heart and sing their way into your head...

Nov 27, 2006

For months now, a broad array of videogame news outlets - GamesRadar included - have been extolling the virtues of LocoRoco, using phrases like "the next Katamari Damacy" and "the happiest game ever made." Spend some time with the free demo, and it's easy to see why - LocoRoco's unique gameplay and lively, wildly happy aesthetic are impossible not to love. But how do they hold up over 40-plus levels? Pretty well, actually. The gameplay is unchanged from what you might have already played; you ...

LocoRoco updated hands-on

Hands-on with three levels of bizarre, bouncing blob opera

Aug 3, 2006

We hear LocoRoco, the aggressively weird action game about singing blobs, is all but tanking after its release in Europe and Japan. Having finally spent some time with the full game, however, we honestly can't understand why; unless something drastic changes before its release next month, it's going to be brilliant. Compared with the high-energy free demo, which packs in a ton of cool stuff right from the get-go, the complete LocoRoco dials it down a bit, parceling out its goodies a little ... » Read Full LocoRoco preview

PSP: But it isn't the camera that shakes, it's him

May 12, 2006

No visit to the immense Sony stand in E3's cavernous West Hall, and the accompanying PSP peninsula, would be complete without a quick pause for a spot of LocoRoco. And to bring a big beaming smile to your face and the warm touch of a little sunshine into your day, we've nabbed a bit of footage of the gelatinous platformer in tilting action. And talking of tilting, we wonder if there will be any chance of a PS3 conversion of the game to take advance of the new pad's wobble-detection ability? ... » Read Full LocoRoco preview

Hands-on with LocoRoco

Singing blobs, bright colors and irresistible cuteness

Apr 26, 2006

We have no idea what the little orange blobs in Sony's upcoming LocoRoco are singing, but it sure is catchy. As we tilt the game's 2D landscape to roll them around their colorful, impossibly endearing world, the little guys lip-sync to a cheery, all-gibberish rock song that makes us yearn for the game to hit stores. As one of our editors put it, "I feel so happy I could cry!" Catchy tunes and cute visuals are just two of the things that make the one-level LocoRoco demo we tried awesome. ... » Read Full LocoRoco preview

Simplicity is key in Sony's hands-off platformer

Apr 25, 2006

Tuesday 25 April 2006 The challenge for PSP developers has been one of scale, a struggle to shoehorn console-quality gameplay into the more limited capabilities of the portable hardware, so it's interesting to see Sony itself taking precisely the opposite tack, and making good on the industry's tried, tested and long-overdue love affair with simplicity. That simplicity is evident in every aspect of LocoRoco. Apart from the obvious control scheme, which utilises little more than the shoulder ... » Read Full LocoRoco preview
