You know those concept sketches where the colours are all rainbows of colours. That's what I would have liked to see in a 'next-gen' version.


Just glorious superfantasic vision.

Shame. I seem to remember the series creator didn't want any more Katamari games to be made after the first one, but it was out of his hands. Seems he was right to think no more were needed.

No wonder the guy who made the original refused to do sequels.

Glad he's spending time doing original stuff like nobbly noble something than wasting his time essentially making the same game over and over and over.

Edit: Damn beaten.

So if I've never played the originals, is this more like a 7 or 8? That is to say, it isn't a bad game, it's just a bad Katamari game, and I'll enjoy it if I lack a basis for comparison.

Shame there's no sign of a UK release for this and it's region locked. Curse you Namco!

"One of the better jokes is a level about collecting cold objects populated largely by Xbox 360 hardware."

You can stick your game if that's one of the better jokes.

who cares will still add it to the collection if/as/when it comes out here to go alongside my knitted Prince and Katamari ball :D Will have to do with poor PS3 PS2 upscaling for now though

Why the fuck do Eurogamer waste their time reviewing a game that probably will never see the light of day over here? If people want to know about BK, there are dozens of US websites that will sate their needs. Must be a slow day at the office. Eurogamer sort of gives it away, don't you think? Jesus.

Shame, might pick this up if it hits bargain prices but it just doesn't sound worthwhile at the moment.

Are there any roses to collect in this one? I got all of them last time, and was very pleased with the results.

"your job is to push it around a room rolling over objects small enough to stick to its surface"

Ahh, right. So that's what Katamari was all about. My faith in my "don't bother looking any further this is a load of old bullshit journo creaming twaddle" ometer is restored once again.

I think this score is probably unfair, considering that it was reviewed by people who already played the PS2 games. Add a couple more points if you're a Katamari virgin.

"Seriously get a life."

Considering you have posted this on an Internet games site, I'd say that's a little hypocritcial.

Please leave it at this Namco, don't milk it for every penny, it deserves to be left alone before it gets totally ruined.

Two pages on a game with no PAL release date, and Pro Evo, one of the biggest selling games in the PAL region every year, gets one page.

Where's the justice?

Or, to put it another way, what the bejeezus are you guys playing at?

Never bought the original game, its sequel, or the PSP version, and I expect that most of the 360's audience didn't either.

Therefore - it'll be like Halo - where most people hadn't played a decent Halflife, UT or Quake 3 - so they rave about Halo like it made a new genre.

I'll pick this up when it goes cheap.

Pro Evo is a promo review.

Infomercial that gets EG an extra chunk of gaming freeness and freebies.

Maybe. Maybe I'm wrong. Framerates, anyone?

@"NickM40A3": I'm sorry to say this, but... holy fuck dude, get a life. Talking down to people on the internet over downloading an MP3? How pathetic can you get? You're worse than your Zelda blasting friend. Worthless tosser.

Original was fantastic. Sequel was good. The demo for this one was meh. Sad.

Oh well. Not so dissapointed that the PS3 version was canned.
Real shame for all the folks who haven't had the pleasure of the PS2 originals though. It really is that good, and more bonkers than a bonkers thing being bonked. etc.

It's not that Namco should abandon it, they just need to get it done right. I'd love to see a photo realistic next gen version using the original gameplay.

Having not played a Katamari game before I'm well hooked on the demo. Will be picking this up on release.

As an utter Katamari fanboy, I still intend to get this. The Horse Armour dlc grates though.

I said it before but if this game had been sub-£25 RRP, ideally £20 online, then I'd have bought it but seeing as the reviews have been very unimpressive (mostly 6/10ish) and it was out months ago in the US (Movietyme sell the 360 version for £19.99), it just isn't worth the £35+ asking price IMO. I can't see this game selling very well anyway when it's been released the same week as Lost Odyssey and Frontlines so I expect it will hit the bargain bins very quickly.

/fingers crossed! LOL
