Synopsis
The frog warriors spawned from the mind
of Yoshigiki Mine return for an encore performance
of last year's Keroro Gunsou Smash Bros clone.
Keroro Gunso (translation: Sergeant Frog), leader of
the Space Invasion Forces Special Advance Team of
the 58th Planet of the Gamma Storm Cloud System goes
on a reconnaissance mission to Earth in order to
learn more about the blue orb before an invasion
proper commences. Unfortunately for him, he is
caught by two members of the Hinata household.
Despite some early strife, Keroro and siblings
Fuyuki and Natsumi Hinata become friends... or in
the case of Natsumi and Keroro, master and servant.
The PS2 Keroro game plays like a Smash Bros of sorts where
characters such as Keroro, Angoru Moa, Giroro Gochou,
the Hinatas, and others complete in battle games,
button mashing challenges, and other simple
exercises that won't tax cognitive skills. Little
humorous references to Gundam and other manga/anime
properties pepper the mini-games. New stages,
updated gimmicks, and gameplay systems are apparent
in the new Keroro Gunsou. Up to four players may
play at once during the war games.
NCS Game Notes™
* At the outset, players may choose from 15
characters including the five frogs and the human
cast from the manga/animation. Keroro inside a
humanoid frog costume is also selectable as a
playable character.
* During the loading screens, Keroro wears a
bullfrog disguise and ribbits. In another sequence,
he dances between the Earth.
* The action takes place on isometric playfields
with objects scattered everywhere which may be
picked up and used. For example, mallets, bazookas,
and Uzi machine guns may be gathered up by pressing
"SQUARE" and used by pressing "O". Guns that run out
of ammo may be thrown with the "SQUARE" button to
serve as a projectile weapon. There's also a Gundam
body-length shield that may be picked up as a
defensive measure.
* Objects aren't the only things that may be picked
up. Opponents may also be picked up and thrown like
they were Sunday leftovers.
* Each battle only lasts for 1 round which makes for
quick battles. At the end of each round, scores are
tallied.
