Looks like it may be worth getting - even if I already have several other versions ;)

Never played a Katamari game but this sounds interesting. Just hope it has more gameplay than Noby Noby Boy which, while weird, got old quickly.

I'd buy a PS3 just to hear the inevitably awesome J-pop theme tune.

The removal of the PS2 backward compatibility is now clear. As I picked up Katamari for PS2 the other day for £1.99 and with the smoothing filter on I see no need to purchase this iteration no matter how much of a fan I am. Clearly great news for the people who have never experienced this title and who don't have backwards compatibility. Though I cant help feeling its a bit of a con to those who do!

Never bothered with the Xbox 360 game because it retailed at a stupid £39.99 price point from memory and I understand that it sold very poorly, probably because of that and the lack of advertising.
If this is a £20 or less downloadable PSN game then I'll definitely pick it up but anymore and I'm less tempted because the concept is so simple that I don't personally think it's worth any more than that. It's perfect for a budget priced PSN game though. |

@myiagros exactly, the original is the one Namco should have supported but didn't so while I enjoy the chance to play the game when We Love Katamari came out, and might be interested if some of those levels from the original feature, I have to say it leaves a sour taste in my mouth to see a publisher making sequels when the creator didn't want to make them.

I loved We Love Katamari, so I'll definitely be getting this unless it somehow ends up being rotten.
The Katamari Damacy soundtrack went down a storm when I put it on at work a few sunny, silly Friday afternoons ago. |

@ Nexus 6: This will be a bugger if its download only, as i dont have the facility to download anything.
An offline PS3 misses out on some real gems. Flower and Super Stardust HD are brilliant games, and there are many more on there (Echochrome is a nice 10-minutes-at-a-time puzzler, the PixelJunk games are consistently good). Arguably they're better than many of the full-price releases and among the best titles released this generation. Oo... Wipeout HD too! And Forbidden Siren... Okay, I'll stop now. |

Some of you are crazy. I haven't played Katamari since I love and that was the best one on my opinion the first was right behind it I just don't see why some of you think that BC is going to make this game irrelevant. Dude, this si 1080p 60fps katamari and it has a lot of new stuff with the much better graphical features. For 30 dollars it is perfect. Of course if they release this for 60 dollars their sales will plummet.

"this si 1080p 60fps katamari" well let me think about this for 2sec' shall I buy the HD version with a few extra features for 30 quid or I could pick up the PS2 SD version for 2 quid!!!! Well as I don't have an HD TV and my PS3 is backward compatible the PS2 original it is! Also I would have been very interested if this sku would have ever been released were all PS3's backward compatible. |

I quite liked the xbox version, although after buying at at pretty much full price I felt a little ripped off, It should really be a download only game priced at around £10 - £15

A. It's not the original I'm talking about it's We love Katamari which was released in Europe. B. I don't need luck as you see by these photos that I already have a copy for not £2 but £1.99. http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt329... http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt329...

"There's no escaping the fact that aside from a couple of minor inventive additions, Katamari Forever is more of the same, but the welcome news is that it appears to be an awful lot more of the same."
Waaaayyyy too harsh. It's the same, but not a same that's been done to death, as per FPSs, Zombies, Nazis, Street Racing, WWII, Survival Horrors, Poofy Haired Jap RPGs, 3rd person post apocalypse New York etc. No game, particularly a sequel, is going to be totally original, but it sounds like they're having a good go at mixing the beloved original with new ideas, and pumping up the pretties to the max. When the same is so bl**dy good as Katamari, you can hardly complain. Sold. And I can't wait for the inevitable KD costumes for LBP. Sackamari FTW! |

This is an instabuy for me. Always loved this series. Even the PSP version, which suffered horribly from the lack og two analog sticks. The music, the mood and the nuttiness of it all is simply brilliant, and I love the sound of the Eternal Katamari mode. The only thing that's annoyed me about the game is the time limit.
Definitely looking forward to this. |
