We Love Katamari Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the games-i-want-to-play dept.

Balbanes writes "Tim Rogers reviews We Love Katamari. He calls it Katamari Damashii: The Videogame." The original is probably my favorite non World of Warcraft game in the last year or two. I can't wait for this game. This article has a lot of commentary on the gameplay, the music, and more. And really, if you haven't played it the original you owe it to yourself to try. The infectious music and hysterical gameplay are a serious treat.

    Half way through the first paragraph I wanted to shoot myself just to make him shut up. Then I remembered the back button. That was close.

      I'll hold him, you hit him.

      The guy needs to hit Enter a little more often.

    So, in other words, it is your second-favourite game. Just say it, god damnit.

    sex but not too much sex

    Excuse me for asking, but what the hell is too much sex? Can such a thing exist?

    An outstanding market concept that few if any had really tried - a new game that was cheap to develop, with little or no marketing, priced to sell. An unfortunate side effect is that there was very little big media attention payed.

    Maybe the second part of their strategy is to continue to release cheaply developed Katamari games in the hopes that as the ball is rolling it will pick up more and more fans, thus eventually drawing big media attention.

    This is not the greatest game in the world. This is just a review.

  8. The point of the game by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can someone please explain to me what the point of this game is? I read about 2/3rds of the linked review and still have no idea; what the objective of the game is or what game play is like.

    Well, imagine a first-person shooter without shooting. Ok, now cross that with an RPG with no underlying point. Now mix that with a Dance Dance Dance soundtrack, and pass that thru a mix machine.

    Now imagine it's in a foreign language and your babblefish is sick and translating everything incorrectly.

    It's like that.

    Only more so.

    After watching this game, I think it's high time Maxis came out with Sim Dung Beetle.
