I first played LocoRoco 2 on a whim after I found it within a Lego Harry Potter case. When the game first loaded, I was astounded by the colors and sounds that were definitively not Lego Harry Potter. One my confusion subsided, I couldn't resist trying it, despite never having heard of or played the first game and man, am I glad I did.

LocoRoco as a series is one of the most unique concepts for a platformer I have ever seen. The idea of titling the levels themselves to move this little gelatinous alien blob into all sorts of hijinx is an experience like no other. My younger self was completely infatuated with it.

LocoRoco 2 as a sequel builds on the first game in all the ways it should, my only complaint (as cliche as it sounds) is that there isn't more of it! I pray to one day see another traditional LocoRoco game as farfetched as that probably is.
