So, I just got a PSP, and I want to get a fun game you can just pick up and go with. I hear good things about lumines, and the loco roco demo was okay. What would you recomend?

Here's what I have so far: MGS: PO (I like it), Burnout Legends (I like it), Wipeout Pure (meh) and Metal Gear Acid 2 (havent played it yet)

locoroco is absolutely retarded..I'd never purchase that game.. lumines is WAY better and actually pretty fun if you have a 2nd psp and playing against someone via adhoc..

LocoRoco is a GREAT game.  The levels take anywhere from 1-2 min (racing through) up to 15 or 20 (for those really challenging levels).  The goal isn't so much to beat the game; it isn't that hard.  It's to find all the berries and beat the time trial. 

I LOVE playing LocoRoco.  I still pick it up and play, and I've had the game for the better part of four months.

I have Lumines and Loco Roco, and I prefer Loco Roco over the two games.  Lumines is still an excellent games.  But Loco Roco seems to be more fun to me

I've got only two games for my PSP, and that is LocoRoco and Lumines. Both are great, so buy them both :) although I prefer LocoRoco. Another game worth looking into is perhaps Daxter if you are into 3d-platform games. I've also preordered Racthet & Clank : Size Matters for the PSP. I've got all the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games in the series, and they have all been very (and still are) great games.

Of the two definitly Lumines (1 or 2) both very fun and ideal for play on the go. If you like that sort of thing then Every Extend Extra is fun as is Bomberman. Or go for a fun driving game and get ATV Offroad Fury Pro

Both are good. But Loco Roco is a better buy all up. Lumines is good, but we've seen it all 20 years before with Tetris. Al least Loco was original.

I would take Lumines over LocoRoco. LocoRoco is a good game, but I find myself playing Lumines more then any other game I have. Time just flys by when you are playing.

I'm in this same situation. I don't know what to get. I have Lumines, Daxter and Ridge Racer. Any suggestions? The LocoRoco demo is fun, but i can see it getting old. Any recommend Katamari for the PSP?

personally i love LOVE lumines, i am addicted to that game.  I keep getting to level 87-90 and then lose.  But i will eventually get to 100.

Loco Roco is a great game too, just I play it in spurts.  Not something that you can play for hours on end, especially while listening to the trippy music. 

Go with lumines of the two and pick up one of the greatest hits for 20 dollars too (wipeout, burnout legends, tekken)

Here's a solution for you if you have an extra 10 bucks. Buy both.

I dont understand how people like locoroco.. you're a fat liquid blob that breaks up into smaller blobs or makes 1 big blob.. you tilt the screen to determine which way you will roll.. it wasnt very challenging to me.. more of a 8-11 year old kid game IMO..

The challenge isn't in getting to the end, it's in finding all the berries. The way you move is different from any other game, the music is AWESOME, the singing is cute. LocoRoco is a really solid game, if you don't just want to race through to the end. Take the time to find all the Berries and MuiMui's, and you'll have a LOT more fun.

I would prefer Lumines slightly, only because I don't like the controls for Loco Roco... the tilt controls are really annoying when you're trying to stay on a small platform, and the thunder+little blobs command is really finicky... often you have to press it multiple times, or settle into the right spot, to get it to trigger.

As for Katamari, I really didn't care for it without a second analog stick.  It just feels off.  (The controls are complicated enough as it is.)

I have two PSPs... one for games and one for homebrew.  The homebrew is version 1.5, which actually works with Lumines without requiring a patch/upgrade, so that game is always in my 2nd PSP.

And besides, it's one of the few games my girlfriend will play with me.

Loco Roco is a crappy game. It's too easy, and the graphics don't display the potential of the PSP it's so boring and repetetive. BOO!
