soo.. let's get rollin'. we love katamari is EASILY one of the top playstation 2 games. katamari damacy was the most original game i've seen in a long time, but it was flawed because of how difficult it was. we love katamari also suffers from this once you reach a particular stage, but thankfully it lasts a lot longer until you reach that stage. in that stage, you have to roll up very big items like the statue of liberty and many cars, buildings etc. a great deal of fun, but not so fun when you barely miss the goal over and over and over again and have to keep re-playing the same level. there's no way to switch to an easier mode, so you're stuck. it even made me question if this game should have a time limit at all. some of the levels don't have a time limit and they're still fun. overall, i like the time limit but it's simply too unforgiving. god help the young child who picks up this game or katamari damacy, because they will struggle mightily.

one thing i love about we love katamari is the controls just feel better.. in katamari damacy, it was pretty hard to pull off the power move where you quickly move the analog sticks up and down.. then when you did it, you just crashed into some wall anyway. pretty frustrating. here, it felt easier to me and more fun. there's also many wacky levels such as the underwater level and a level where you pick up lots of candy, a gingerbread house, and then hansel and gretel! very cool.

besides difficulty, my only other complaint is katamari does get old after a while and scrolling through the text is annoying. but it's a great rental that will give you a fresh new gaming experience for a while.

one the best game ever

I'm lost as to why so many people LOVE Katamari!? This is a horrible game for anyone over the age of 3. I played this game for a total of 15 min. and turned it off. I wish I could have those 15 min. of my life back. After 1 min. I was shocked it stunk so bad, considering all of the good reviews, but then I decided to give it 14 more min. just to see if it got any better. Well it didn't. Rolling a ball around of junk and collecting more junk to add to the ever growing ball is plain idiotic and boring to me. I still can't believe how boring and stupid this game was, as well as how incredibly bizarre it was! You roll up various things in a ball, while listening to the horrible japanese techno playing in the background.

I've played thousands of games in my 24 years of life, and "We Love (I Hate) Katamari" is in my bottom 5. In conclusion, I think most of the reviewers must have been on drugs while playing because "We Love Katamari" is garbage or it should only be used as a paper weight or used to freak out some old folks!

Fun= -5 stars (if I could give it negative stars), Overall= 2, only because the graphics weren't terrible, they were just bad, and I do give the game credit, somewhat, for being original.

The fun keeps on rolling (yeah, I know)

The reviews I read when this came out seemed to suggest that this was just more of the same, and that that got old. Not so! says I. Yes, it's more Katamari, but that's what you're probably looking for if you played the first one. It evolves the missions by tweaking the goals to be a little more than "as big as you can, as fast as you can." It also takes you deeper into the personality of the King. Every part of the game is turned up a notch or three more from the original.

In short; if you liked Katamari Damacy (and what the hell is wrong with you if you didn't?) then you will, well, love We Love Katamari. I guess that's where they got the name!

katamari rules!!!!

If you liked Katamary Damacy, this will satisfy your "rolling" needs. Still lots of fun to roll up random objects around the Katamari world!

Just Fun

As far as complexity goes, this game offers close to none. Still, one can have fun playing this game in pretty much any state of mind. It doesn't require alot of skill or thinking. As a result, even people who aren't good with a video game controller will pick it up fast. Mostly, it's hilarious watching people scream and run away as you roll at them with your katamari.

More Katamari Goodness!

The first Katamari game was an instant classic, and the followup incorporates challenges designed by the fans themselves. If you don't know this series, the premise is that the stars have disappeared from the sky, and your character must roll up objects on earth to turn into new stars.
Accompany whimsically trippy graphics with a catchy Japanese pop soundtrack and the megalomaniacal thrill of collecting stuff, and I call it a winner!

The environments are indoors and out, and include the cosmos, where you can visit the stars you've created, a racetrack, a pond, and a school. Also, you get more characters, more backstory with the King, and a cooperative mode.

I looked for this game for months in game stores and major retailers, but it was always sold out. And with good reason: Katamari fans must have it, and new players immediately love it.
