We Love Katamari Description

The critically-acclaimed, crazy katamari-rolling game finally comes to European PAL PS2's, after being one of last years biggest hits on import. Much-vaunted game designer and children's playground architect, Keita Takahashi, he has the following to say about the game: "Basically, this is a silly game that doesn't involve a whole lot of thinking, but if you will just laugh and sing along as you roll, roll and roll, I'm sure you will find it to be a lot of fun." This is a massive understatement. Players will most definitely find We Love Katamari a whole lot of fun, and if they've not experienced the gaming genius of Katamari Damacy already, then they are in for a real gaming treat. We Love Katamari features the diminutive yet determined Prince, with an assortment of celestial cousins and the eccentric King of All Cosmos. The barking mad storyline is as follows - the King of All Cosmos grew to stardom after taking all of the Prince's katamaris and replacing the stars. His fans knew no bounds and wished to see more katamaris fill the sky. The King of All Cosmos desired to appease all of their requests and recruited the Prince and his cousins to help. Now they are tasked with rolling up even more clumps, each larger and more different than the one before. In We Love Katamari, players will find themselves in various new locations around Earth as the Prince and his cousins roll up different katamaris according to the fans' requests. We Love Katamari continues the series' trademark graphical style and musical excellence with an original soundtrack and hundreds of brand new items including Koi fish, angels and famous Earthly landmarks to roll up. The Prince's celestial rolling has no boundaries; as his katamari grows larger, he can roll up literally everything in his path - from underwater creatures to mountains and even the Eiffel Tower itself! We Love Katamari is wrapped up in a unique graphical style with an inimitable soundtrack featuring some of Japan's most loved artists. With over 40 Fan requests to complete, a brand-new 2 player Co-operative Mode and the chance to roll up your friends in Battle Mode, We Love Katamari will have players smiling and singing for hours. Never has surreal seemed so normal.

This is one of the funnyest games iv played and on of the most unusual as well as you have to roll stuff up and aventualy it gets bigger and theres a cool level where you get to roll up an entire city. the graphics arnt the best but it dose have freaky noises and a brillient sound track so I would advise you to try this before you buy it

Definitely a game I would recommend to rent rather than play. It's a completely unique experience, which is good fun to play for a while, but the problem is that the game doesn't really develop - it's all just basically rolling up stuff according to the instructions for that level - and then you begin to notice the graphics are pretty weak and how repetitive the music is. Don't be put off by the last couple of comments, the first few weeks I had this game I really enjoyed playing it.

A difficult game to describe - you basically do just roll stuff up using a large ball. It sounds dull but is actually really good fun and pretty addictive. Graphics and sound are nothing amazing (although the description is right - I have found myself walking around humming some of the annoyingly catchy songs!) but that's not really the point of this game. It has a fairly surreal style about it but tends to be amusing rather than annoying. Not a massive game, it's probably taken me about 10 hours to complete (though there are other things I could go back and do). Certainly one to rent if you want to try something different.

This was a very fun game which is suitible for young all the way up to people who have arms and will put a smile on on even the grumpiest mush. This game does get boring after a while tho. But all in all top notch
