Loco Roco 2

PSP
What a beautiful world
For a portable console aimed towards an older market and touting a bazillion multimedia functions, Loco Roco was a surprising but entirely welcome hit in 2006 that introduced lashings of originality, character and cuteness to a rather generic catalogue. I bought a PSP for it and the sequel has shaken some dust. Filled with the same pastel hued characters and landscapes, Loco Roco 2 builds upon the first game by adding far more variety to proceedings, without ever losing site of the original vision. There's more to collect, more to explore and more to do as you tilt and flick the surreal landscapes, bouncing and rolling the lovable, eternally singing Loco Rocos. If ever there was a cure for depression, this is it, as the grin stapled to my face is testament to why it should be prescribed on the NHS. Pure, digitised joy.
