Honestly, I've been looking forward to this game since I first saw the trailer back in April. Now that I finally had a chance to play it, I can assure you it does not disappoint.
As expected, the intro sequence offers the same acid-laced-er-enthusiasm found in past titles. The gameplay is magnificent, the environments are zany, and the King of All Cosmos is still a narcissistic, yet lovable dick. It's The PS3 resurgence of Katamari just as it should be-perfect.wrong-prince
Upon picking up the controller, the first thing I noticed was how smoothly the game plays. The controls feel better than ever and handle like a dream. Additionally, the player can now jump by simultaneously pressing the L2 and R2 buttons, flinging the Prince and his Katamari into the air, adding a new dimension to the gameplay. It's responsive and useful. I'd high-five Namco if I could.

Sure, I was going to use these five VGMs regardless, but why ruin the spectacle of the moment?
The recently released Gravity Rush 2 leads us off with a jazzy battle theme before handing it off to Final Fantasy XI. Then, we turn our attention to Okamiden. Following that is some funk (the good kind) from Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio. Lastly, we roll on through with a catchy song from Katamari Forever.
Hey, you! Yeah, you! Click on the VGM volume name to hear the song on YouTube! Finally, check out the VGM Database for all past VGMs featured on this weekly recurring segment. Now, let's get on to the music!"
It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.
It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.
Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!
Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
The PS4 has many good games but gamers always love to think about the classics. Katamari is one of those classics that is needed.
I cant wait to add this to my PS3 Library. I know I wont play the hell out of it but I will definantly put it to good use on the days when I dont feel like shooting. Plus the music in these game are just amazing.
This'll be my first Katamari game!
