This game needed a price drop. I got mine for $20 from Value City. It's almost a year since its release and it is still $40 at 90% of the places selling it. I highly recommend this game to anyone with a PSP. It is a gaming experience unlike anything before; great use of the L and R buttons.
^if you've got a PSP, and you aren't totally $20-ish bucks sold on LocoRoco just yet, there are downloadable demos available of the game to get a feel for it. That's what sold me on the game, personally.
[quote name='distinct101']so does this game appeal to anybody? Heard great reviews but wanted to know from actual gamers if its that good.[/QUOTE]
I think Katamari Damacy really is the best predictor of whether you'll like LocoRoco or not... if you can get into the quirky, simplistic play style you'll likely enjoy it quite a bit.
