Overview
LocoRoco 2 is a platform video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. It is the sequel to LocoRoco and the third game in the series after LocoRoco Cocoreccho!. It was released in Japan and PAL regions in 2008 and North America in 2009. A remastered version was released on December 9, 2017 for the PlayStation 4.
Like the original LocoRoco game, the player controls are the same, as they once again play as the planet. The shoulder buttons are used to tilt the world to maneuver the LocoRoco, and pressing both of the buttons simultaneously causes the LocoRoco to jump. The single large LocoRoco can be separated by pressing the circle button or through specific points on the level, while individual LocoRoco can merge back into a single being by holding down the circle button.
Having successfully defeated the Moja Corps, the LocoRoco settled back into their peaceful life. However, Bon Mucho, the Moja Boss, is not willing to accept defeat, so he devises a terrible song that can suck the life force out of living things, as a new attack on the LocoRoco. Armed with this fearsome song, the Moja boarded their meteorite and set off once more on a mission to conquer the LocoRoco planet. Back there, the LocoRoco finds the new MuiMui house, but right after, the meteor comes crashing down onto a Nyokki, and the Mojas start attacking again (sucking the life force out of living things, and as usual, eating LocoRoco).
LocoRoco 2 received "generally favorable" reviews, on review aggregator Metacritic. During the 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated LocoRoco 2 for "Outstanding Achievement in Portable Game Design".
