A friend and his comments on twitter.

Toro's Friend Network

This game is exclusive to the PS Vita, and it's free.  Toro is the mascot for PlayStation in Japan, but his image is rarely seen in the U.S.  Basically, it's a game where you meet other actual people on the PlayStation Network and work together to progress through the game.  In the process you add them to your friend's list.  It's a fun way to meet new gamers, but it's probably not everybody's cup of tea - the actual gameplay is pretty basic and somewhat akin to those mobile games where you upgrade something so that you don't have to wait as long to upgrade something else.  There are parts where you battle opponents, but it's pretty straightforward and doesn't require much skill. It's mostly about meeting new people, and for that purpose it's decent.
