This feature, as well as the use of the in-built speaker, is rarely utilised by games nowadays, so it's nice to see its use here. By eating special berries, LocoRoco can grow in size and you can use the Circle button to either split up or join together your critter.Īlternatively, you can use the controller's in-built motion sensor to turn the stage instead.
The game is incredibly simple: use the L1 and R1 buttons to tilt the world and hold both buttons to jump. I know, because it is the same thing that I have done. Varied, vibrant environments span over 40 levels, with six varities of colourful LocoRoco singing along to the bonkers-but-adorable soundtrack throughout the course of the game. LocoRoco Remastered is one of them, and whether you are one of those who discovered it a decade ago or those who look at it today with relative curiosity, I am sure that you will end up playing with an inevitable smile on your face for hours. It's no surprise, given that they live in the most joyous world imaginable. Its already available on the UK and Australian PlayStation Stores, costing £12 / AU 23 (£9.59 / AU 18.36.
You play as the life-loving, cheery-tune singing LocoRoco - strange blob-shapped inhabitants who, despite having their homeland invaded by a nasty alien lifeform, don't appear all too fussed by the situation. LocoRoco Remastered -the PS4 re-release of the 2006 platformer-is out today, May 9. In truth though that’s probably about the right length for the game, which might have started to wear itself a bit thin had it been any longer.Warning: a smile will be permanently stuck on your face whilst playing this game The Chuppa Chuppa course from LocoRoco Remastered makes a bombastic return in the sequel, having been expanded and made way more difficult and intricate than its predecessor. There are only 40 levels and it takes a bit too long before their difficulty raises above the trivial. The only real issue is LocoRoco’s longevity. But LocoRoco also has a cracking turn of speed at certain points, where it unexpectedly starts encouraging comparisons to Sonic The Hedgehog.Ī special mention must also go to the wonderful music, whose squeaky charm will have even the surliest gamer humming away long after the game is turned off.
The bright primary colours and squishy 2D backdrops are still a rarity on a Sony console, especially in a game that can be appreciated by all ages. But regardless of what resolution you play it at the game looks as fresh today as it first did over a decade ago. There are no other obvious changes to the game though, other than it runs at 1080p on a regular PlayStation 4 and 4K on PS4 Pro.
