Katamari Forever

akonnick's Katamari Damacy Tribute (PlayStation 3) review

When you don't have the next hit, you make the remix

I think the title of the review best sums up my feelings for this game.  Katamari Damacy as a franchise is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time.  Since this game is basically a "best of" collection with a new coat of HD paint, it is still a great game.  However, the new level types and remixed music introduced in this game fall short of the older games.  I walked away wishing that instead of adding anything new, the developer would have just remade Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari into HD versions.  The only great new features about this title are the addition of a jump maneuver, which really helps for getting up those stubborn ledges, and PS3 trophy support.  I would still highly recommend this game to anyone, but I wish they would have made the decision to do a pure HD port rather than a hybrid port/attempted update.

Best Katamari Since The Original 0

   An example of what knd of craziness goes on in this game Katamari Forever is the latest edition to the Katamari franchise. Since the original release back in 2004 Katamari has had somewhat of a cult following. Mainly because this game is very Japanese, I mean as Japanese as it can get. This game still provides that same old gameplay you know and love but that doesn’t mean it is stale. Katamari is still able to bring fun gameplay along even though it has been kind of the same for 5 years. Th...
