If you’ve had a long day at work, the Loco Roco games are a great way to unwind. ![]() Loco Roco 2Īlthough it offers more of the same world-tilting, rolling action as its predecessor, Loco Roco 2offers a wealth of new abilities (including the ability to venture underwater), catchy tunes, and adorable moments of cartoon whimsy.
