 Still Katamari April 28, 2008
This edition in the Katamari series was too short, I played through the entire game in about 3 hours, there wern't even 10 levels. They expect you to buy more levels on their xbox live market place. The graphics are very pretty though, the HD makes a huge diffrence.
Not as Good as Previous Katamaris April 12, 2008
I've played the first two Katamari games extensively on the PS2, and this one just doesn't meet the same standards. The first katamari game was really fun and had about 20 different levels. The sequel, We Love Katamari, was great because it had lots of new types of levels with different scenery and concepts (underwater, at night, in the snow, etc.). This game, not only doesn't have many new concepts, it doesn't have many levels/places to roll. I finished it in about 6 hours and was pretty amazed that it was over so soon. In its favor, the music is good, there are a few decent levels, and the graphics are improved due to the Xbox 360 platform. Overall though, it's a disappointment.
 The Beautiful Katamari is awesome! April 7, 2008
This game is fun once you get to play at least 3 cousins, but what I wanted to know is- what the crud is it about that 40.00 price? I know, it's a wonderful game but it's been out for a while.i think it's downright funny to hear the screams of people and animals once you run them over with the katimari! Lastly, it's just that detailed, I now understand why they call it Beautiful Katamari!

 Pissed off that Namco switched platforms April 2, 2008

I was a huge fan of the two PS2 Katamari games, and even bought myself a PSP in order to play the third game, which was also wonderful.
However, after announcing for months that they would release the next Katamari game for PS3, Namco suddenly pulled a switcheroo and decided to release it on XBox 360 only. I've even checked with their consumer relations, and they have no plans to release it for PS3. That move strikes me as not only stupid but also kind of mean to Katamari's loyal fans, who have thus far been PS users. I've already got a PSP, PS2 and PS3, and have neither the funds nor the room for another gaming system at this point. (If I do shell out the cash for another gaming system this year, it will certainly be a Wii.)
Maybe it's unfair of me to give this game only one star when I haven't had the opportunity to play it, but Namco's outright rejection of loyal fans really chaps my hide. Get a clue, Namco!
 Fun March 30, 2008
My wife loves this game, I catch myself watching it and getting into it like the typical male does. She love it. I bet kids would too.
