What parents need to know
Parents need to know that LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival, a downloadable game for the PSP, is a cute puzzle/platform game that’s safe for all ages. Note, though, that its difficulty level, which is greater than that of its predecessors, may be above the threshold of younger players. Apart from certain enemies vanishing in a puff of smoke when bumped, there is no violence at all in the game.
Educational value:
The game requires you to use think creatively to solve the puzzles.
Positive role models:
LocoRoco -- the blob-like creatures we controls -- are good little guys whose only ambitions are to be together, sing, and make it to the end of crazy environmental mazes.
Ease of play:
More challenging than previous LocoRoco games, but that’s simply because the game places a premium on precision and good timing. The controls -- which have the player using the PSP’s shoulder buttons to tilt the screen left and right and releasing them to jump -- are as brilliantly simple and accessible as ever.
Violence:
Players can bump into enemies to make them disappear, resulting in a puff of smoke.
Sex:
