Similar to Fantavision (a fireworks game released on the day of the PS2 launch), Chuchurocket is somewhat of an oddity: a puzzle game with very simple graphics that doesn't fully utilize the power of the new console.
Although I'm usually a fan of this genre of puzzle games, I find that Chuchu Rocket lacks depth in its gameplay, which seems to be identical from level 1 to 100. Regardless of the level, the mice move in straight lines, turning right when they hit a wall. There are two types of dangers: cats and voids. It's a bit lacking in terms of variety.
The difficulty is also strangely managed: sometimes too easy, sometimes challenging, but too often completely random; the levels progress with boredom. Nevertheless, I persisted in finishing this game because there's something fundamentally oddly satisfying about seeing these lines of little mice narrowly avoiding enemies
Hard to really recommend it
