Wow. I got this today - what a game. Pure beauty. Reminds me of Katamari but in ways it's a purer experience. Beautiful style with music to match. There are demos floating about so, if you get a chance, check it out.

I can't wait to try out LocoRoco.  Is there much dialogue or speech in the game?  I was thinking of finally picking up a PSP along with the Japanese version of the game next month -- along with the import Gitaroo Man Lives.

Or if I could readily find a copy of the EU version, that'd be even better.

All of the speech is LocoRoco gibberish so that's no problem. The only thing would be the odd tutorial early on in the game where little text hints pop up. They wouldn't really make life difficult if you were missing them as the controls are so easy.

There are places that ship EU games overseas but, as you probably know, our game prices are pretty extortionate over here. Here's one place I know some US people order from for EU games - http://gameplay.com/  I only ever bought from them once and it was quite some time ago but had no problems.
