We Love Katamari is a game with an identity disorder. Many times during the game, it calls itself Katamari Damacy, even though that was the name of its predecessor. But that's okay, that's just one of the many many little strange, funny, quirky, incredibly fun things about this game.

So do I like this game? Let's just say, over the past month, since I got this game, it is the ONLY game I have played. That is very, very rare for me to only play one game. Enough said, this game is worth well more than the $30 you pay.

Addictive Roller-fest from the Tekken guys

From Namco (The Tekken developers), comes an hyper realistic, uber-violent beat-em-up brawler. None of the previous was true except for the Namco bit. You could say that "We Love Katamari" is bursting with ideas. As a european gamer, I've never had a chance with "Katamari Damacy" but if it's as good as THIS, it must be complete heaven. You can collect cousins (Playable characters), presents (New costumes) and more. Between missions, there is the utterly bittersweet tale of The King of All Cosmos. *SPOILER WARNING* He starts out as a poor little guy (Much like The Prince of All Cosmos) with no family except an abusive father that hit poor Kingie and threw his Second Place trophy he won from a boxing tournament into the lake (Well... not like The Prince). Awww... then he ran away from home and met The Prince's mother. They fell in loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove and were in looooooooooooooooooove. Then The Kingster met his father again. *GASP* Mr. Daddy was about to hit him but Kinger fought back and WON!!! Then... back at home, Kinger saw Daddy-O dug up his old trophy along with all his stuff. Kinger started weeping and ran to his father... I haven't unlocked the other bits. *END SPOILER*
Yep. "We Love Katamari" has more ideas than me. And I have LOTS of them.

The graphics are unfortunatly, heavy back-to-basics stuff. You can see the pixels in the game itself better than in 15-year-old MegaDrive classic "Sonic The Hedgehog". The cloeups are painful and just plain bad looking. Fortunatly, when your Katamari (Big sticky ball... love it) grows bigger, the camera gets further from the K-Ball (Nickname for Katamari. Hee hee) and that means: No more close-ups. And for a game with graphics like an extremely well rendered PSone game, that's a good thing.

The music is surprisingly good. Even though the game itself has a childish atmosphere, the music doesn't... mostly. My favourites are "Katamari on The Swing", "DISCOSTARPRINCE" and "Katamari on The Rocks". "KOTS" is a popocktronica-ish lively (and uber wacky) kid song while "DISCOSTARPRINCE" is a techno affair. "KOTR" is an uber cartoony kid-fest that sounds good. The Effects are awesome but the voices... well... they are not so nice. Also, when you meet The King, terrible Game Boy music starts torturing your ears.

The manual is the cheesiest thing I have ever seen. Full of crayoned pictures and short captions like: "Uh-Oh--- An Alligator! STOP!" and "Round & Round", "Here! Here!", "Oh No! It's The Bogeyman!!!". But the cheesiest is: "Everyone gets along when you roll the Katamari like this.". Oh really? By rolling up tiny, screaming people and destroying the universe to make stars that you rool up to make other stars that you rool up to make other stars (etc.) does everyone get along? Erm...

Like I said before, "We Love Katamari" is very addictive. I bought it today and I've been hooked. You roll and roll and roll and lose track of time. Much like "American Idol".

I ordered this game a good few weeks before my anniv. I orded it for my boyfriend. However, several days after it should have arrived (i have it extra time just in case) I called to ask about it. I was told (by gamestop) that Amazon had listed the item when it wasn't in stock. When I said that I needed it by the weekend, I was told basically there was nothing that could be done. So I asked to have my shipping refunded. The guy on the phone with me actually laughed and said "good luck with that". I was totally unsatisfied and asked to be transferred to a manager (who was not available at this present time). I left a voicemail for the manager to call me back, and I still have not heard from him and its been almost a month. I'm not sure who the blame lies with. All I know is that I will never order from game stop again. The customer service is terrible, and they basically refuse to help anyone, who through no fault of their own, was shafted in the deal. The package arrived 2 1/2 weeks late, but it did arrive. And we have really loved this game. Kudos to nameco.

5 STAR FUN

THIS GAME IS SO FUN IT MAKES UP FOR ALL THE CHEESEY WEIRD JAPANESE PLOT AND HORRIBLE GRAPHICS. THE PLOT TO THIS GAME IS SO WEIRD YOU'D SWEAR YOU WERE READING SOMETHING A DRUNK 5 YEAR OLD MADE UP. AND THE GRAPHICS LOOK WORST THAN SOME PS1 GAMES BUT THE GAME IS BY FAR ONE OF THE FUNNEST PS2 GAMES EVER. A MUST HAVE. SIMPLE TO PICK UP AND PLAY YET COMPLICATED ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE VETS. FUN FOR EVERYONE. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO PLAY THIS GAME.

I can't wait for the sequel to this sequel

Katamari Damacy is a great game. There's nothing else out there in the American market like it for PS2. If you know and love it, then you will enjoy "We Love Katamari" as well. Gameplay is nearly identical, which is good because that's not something that needed improvement. The levels are similar, with similar visuals, but it feels more expansive overall. More thought was given into challenges, including finding the Prince's cousins. I find it to have excellent replay value, as well.

I never played the first Katamari but this one I picked up out of impulse. I heard from everywhere that it was great but I was afraid that my friends would find out that I bought it because the cover is all colorful and it looks like a kids game while you're playing. Everything is all colorful and whimsical and theres rainbows and crap. Plus, theres skipping. You can skip around the landscape in the level selection menu and if you pass another person like you, they follow you, skipping and singing. It's very very very gay. And yet, it's one of the best games I've played. It's original and just tons and tons of fun. Plus, it's incredibly addictive. I had to go somewhere the day after I got it and the whole time, all I could think about was this game. I couldn't wait to get home and play it. The game is awesome but they could have at least made the cover less colorful. Maybe have a gun and a couple hobos in a back alley on the cover just so I wouldn't be embarassed when people are looking at my game collection and see a title with a heart on it and colorful creatures around a colorful house... ugh.

Excellent game!

Thought the first Katamari game was addictive? This one is worse. It's just like the other, only you have more levels and different types of 'quests,' like cleaning up a room and rolling up 1000 cranes to help out a friend who is sick. One of the best parts is you can play as any cousin you have found in a level, and there are dozens more royal presents. In fact, you can wear 2 at once!

The King is still hilarious. In fact, every time you beat a major level, you get a short little cut scene about his past. You even get to hear him speak (in Japanese) at the end. That was a huge treat for me.

Many people complain about the graphics. I think the simple, blocky graphics greatly suits the game. It would lose its charm if the graphics were as good as a newer Final Fantasy game. The bright colors, funky sound and even funkier music just make this game adoreable while making you uttering over and over again "What in the world...?"

There's only two complaints I have... the multiplayer and the length of the game. The multiplayer is still lacking; there aren't many levels to choose from and it can get a little old after a while. Also, the game is relatively short. I beat it within 3 days of playing it maybe 2-3 hours a day. However, this can easily be combatted with the side quests. You still have to find all the royal presents (sometimes there are more than one in a level), cousins (39 in all; there are 4 you have to find in one of the last levels), and about 3 extra levels you obtain after you 'beat the game.' The ending credits is even a level. This is why it loses one star... it's really more of a 4.5 star.

In conclusion, We Love Katamari is a GREAT game. It'll have you hooked. I reccomend it to anyone who can hold a controller. That's the only skill you need to play it. :) And a sense of creativity, of course!
