LocoRoco Cocoreccho!, Skate Demo Available Today on PSN

Just played through, maybe half of the first level?

As you'd expect, it's adorable and disgustingly cute.

Instead of tilting the whole world, you control a butterfly. By mashing O, any nearby LocoRocos flock to your position. Mash it harder, they move faster, jump higher and further, etc.

At the start of the level, you have only one LocoRoco, but you gain more once the blob touches another, thus waking him or it from your slumber. Without your guidance, the LocoRocos just move through a level in a loop--there are gates that require a set amount of LocoRocos to get past, and you can raise a lever near them to stop the constant flow of LocoRocos and keep them all in one spot.

There are little levers and gears that you operate by tilting the Sixaxis. It works pretty well.

Thus far, I'm actually it a bit more than the PSP iteration as I feel like I have a lot more precise control over where the LocoRocos are going and what they're doing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to it, because I've been hearing the same song loop endlessly since I started writing this and I think it's going to drive me insane.

looks great, now if i had a reason to get a ps3...
come on, price drop!

So how exactly does this compare to the PSP title? I really liked that. And for 3EUR I'd like to try this one, but it seems it's not quite the same?

hum. Was really hoping for a standard Rocco. Anyone try this?

I only played LocoRoco for about two minutes in Gamestop, but it seeme like it would be a perfect fit if adapted for the motion-sensitive Dual Shock controller and made available via the PS Store. I guess they had other ideas, though.

hah those graphics are awesome. Seriously, I love how developers are doing more fun things with gfx besides rendering beads of sand with extreme precision.
