Me and My Katamari

Postby Nate » Wed Apr 19, 2006 3:00 pm

Just bought this today, since it apparently came out recently. I haven't played much, just the tutorial and the level immediately after. The graphics aren't bad, a little lower res than the console versions, but...

The music so far seems to be all recycled from We Love Katamari. Granted, the songs aren't BAD, but it would've been nice to have new ones. Maybe there are new ones in later levels, I dunno, but the two levels I played had recycled songs.

It would be nice to have a run feature for the menu. It's kinda big, and it takes a while to walk from one end to the other. A minor complaint, but still.

My biggest complaint has to be the controls, though. I know, they did the best they could with the PSP, but this is why they shouldn't have made a PSP one. The controls just aren't as natural as they are with the PS2 controller. I find myself taking forever to make a turn, or only after the fact realizing I have my finger on the wrong button to move forward. Maybe you get used to the controls after a while. I don't know, but first impressions are very poor.

So it`s not as good as the past two?

I think 1 and 2 were tied, if not 1 was better.

It's a crazy Japanese game involving a small alien child who rolls around a magically adhesive orb, in hopes of rolling up a ball of...um, stuff. And people.

That's the best part.

That`s one way to put it.

It`s the most addictive gave ever made IMO. Yes, more addicting than Tetris but not as addicting as Creme Puffs. Sorry.

I wanted to get this game, but I'm saving for GUN and Blade Dancer. If I've never played a Katamari game before, would this one be good since I don't know how it controls on PS2?
