Gaming Rant: Loco Roco 2

Domo RHOMar-san, here's an interesting bit of news from the Tokyo Game Show held this year. A Loco Roco 2 trailer. For those of you without a psp (that includes me of course.... my ads don't pay enough to buy a psp sob) Loco Roco is a hit game for the psp.

The player controls the planet the LocoRoco inhabit to move the LocoRoco around. The player can also split larger LocoRoco into individual LocoRoco, and then recombine them. Splitting is required into order to fit through tight spaces and also solve many puzzles. (For example, smaller LocoRoco start singing when left idle for a while, which is required at the end of the levels.) There are 5 worlds to clear, each consisting of 8 levels.

The object of each level is to find and eat as many "berries" as possible to increase the size of the LocoRoco, to a maximum of 20. There are also "Pickories" and "Mui Mui" to find. The "Pickories" are used as currency for playing the minigames Mui Mui Crane and Chuppa Chuppa, while the "Mui Mui" unlock more minigames and music for the Loco House. The player must also be careful to avoid enemies, mainly "Burrs" (spiky obstacles) and "Moja", which can cause them to lose LocoRoco or even die if the last LocoRoco is lost.

The player can also collect "Loco House Pieces", which are saved and available from the Loco House minigame. They come in different rarities, rated from one star pieces (common) to three star pieces (rare). The player gets one for each "Mui Mui" they find in a level, but they can also be found lying around the level or obtained from other NPCs if a certain number of LocoRoco have been collected by that point. There are 144 pieces to collect; however 40 of them are special (each depicting a character from the game) and can only be obtained by finding all 20 LocoRoco in each of the 40 levels.
