4 out of 5 stars Katamari Fever once you figure out how to get everywhere   August 28, 2008
Starting the game was a little challenging. Had to use the manual to try to figure out where we wanted to go (multi-player). When we accidentally "flew" off course we couldn't find our way back to the planet and had to restart the game to get our footing.

Sounds like it wasn't great and it wasn't. BUT, once we actually got to start playing it was fun. Still trying to figure out the pool table action but it's still cool.



5 out of 5 stars overlooked Katamari title on your favorite next-gen console   August 13, 2008
Beautiful Katamari is the only Katamari title available for next-gen consoles and luckily (for me at least) it's exclusively on the 360.

Graphics are HD sensory overload in the most wonderful, cohesive way you can possible imagine. Lots of cultural winks for those of us obsessed with Japan or familiar with their popular culture.

Level design is dope with plenty of places to explore and keep coming back for more~!

Its all-new soundtrack is worth the admission price alone. Tons of cameos from 80's J-Pop stars coupled with that really nice beat production that we've come to expect from the Katamari series.

Great intro for those of you who never played Katamari before and a great new addi(c)tion for anyone who's already played the series.

Get it. You won't regret it.
And that rhymed.

Katamari is a good series and this title allows you to play it on the xbox. For those of you who havent played previous titles picking this up will be a good thing. First off you will be able to enjoy a game that is unique and addictive.In the process you will be gaining points for your gamerscore, if you care about things like that. Overall it is very entertaining and easy to get into. You will find that the premise of rolling the ball around is much more fun than you think. Adding to the experience are the characters, the KING, being the most enjoyable. Only downside is that it is short and can be beaten very quick.


2 out of 5 stars Squeezing the last drop of profitability out of a future classic   July 28, 2008
Namco must have fired their innovators & replaced them with the laziest programmers on the planet. Beautiful Katamari feels like a quick port to a new platform without much thought or creativity put into the effort. The levels, the graphics, the story; they all seem like contrived reincarnations of what has to be one of the more entertaining game titles in the console world.

I absolutely LOVE Katamari Damacy - it's the only reason my PS2 is still plugged in. This one, however, lost my interest fast. It's difficult to explain, but the magic is gone. The controls are a little more cumbersome, the motion a little more difficult, the graphics seem no better (in fact, they seem a little less interesting for some reason - maybe frame rate? maybe depth blur?), and the experience has not bested its predecessor in any way whatsoever. I would forgive it if it did *anything* better than the original, but it doesn't.

I would only recommend this to people who can't play the original because they don't have an appropriate console; otherwise, it gets a thumbs down from me.



5 out of 5 stars beautiful katamari   July 17, 2008
after a day of dealing with desperate adults who are mean to kids and hurt them this game is a wonderful fun mindless escape which requires only a moderate amount of dexterity. also it is pretty and filled with things that i don't know what they are; and that allows me to be even more mindless. :) love it.
