ok, after playing the euro/us demo, i can honestly say that:
the game has superb presentation, cool game mechanics and invigorating atomsphere. it still does not qualify as a must-have title for me, but the 50CAD pricetag is essentially justified. i'm sold on it.
One of my friends put it down after two levels and refused to play it again when I offered it later on, saying: "I can't. If I play it any more I'll have to buy it."
I think the music is easy hypnotism in realized form.
after playing loco roco for hours on the psp, anybody think that loco roco would be pretty sweet on the ps3 with the 6 axis controller? pop up the controller to make the 'world' jump, and of course tilting the controller would move the loco roco's around. pretty simple concept to port the game over, all it needs is the execution.
at last - grabbed the only copy they had at the same store where somebody beat me to it last time. btw, is the current NA batch low print or something?
