I tried the US Toy Home demo and hated the enforced motion controls which is a real shame as the game itself looked interesting. I notice the UK version only has the option to buy it for £4.99 which is a bit sneaky of Sony, don't you think? Anyone interested in buying this game should be aware of that. If you can download the US demo first rather than risk buying the UK version outright as you may regret it when you realise you can't control the bloody cars!

@Beano.

Is it? I didn't see that. Are you sure you are not talking about the Snakeball theme?

Really Beano?

I downloaded the Snakeball demo from the US store. It's quite cute really. Seems to have quite a bit of depth to it.

...and they don't think to put Populous on the PC-PSP store where we got one trailer. ONE!

Have to agree with Darren. Toy Home is a must "Try Demo First" title so you can help push the "Must Not Force Motion Controls" idea to devs by not buying it!

Saw someone mention on another website that the Snakeball demo WAS on the EU store for a while but that it had been removed again after a few hours.

Don't worry SeesThroughAll, unless I am missing something there is no way to play it on the PSP. Without being able to remap the directional pad to the right thumbstick it is impossible to play properly (right stick scrolls the map). How Popolous got labeled as for PS3 AND PSP I have no idea. Fine on the PS3 but just taking up space on the PSP.

Wonder if some enterprising soul could create a firmware that allowed you to connect a PS3 controller to the PSP using a mini usb to mini usb cable?

Toy Home is nice for children.

That's probably the reason that the motion controls are so insensitive.

WARNING!

Do not bother with the UK PSN download of Warhawk OO Pack as it is incompatible with the US Blu Ray version!

Now to get blood from a stone...

Toy Home is only fun in 2P Mode, but that has entertained us for a few evenings!

DON'T BUY "Toy Home"

It's a REALLY BAD Micro Machines-esque spin-about. The graphics are worse than the PSOne version of MM.

I'm gonna ask for my money back from PSN. WHAT A RIP-OFF!
