but i wanted to know from all you hardcore fans, how does it rate in comparison to the previoius 3 games?

Worse than We Love Katamari, better than MMK and KD.

it's fun in it's own respect, but definitely not the best in series. if you liked the other games i'd give it a try. do you have a 360?

no i dont, i just wanna be convinced im not missing out really :D

so are you trying to see if it's worth it to buy a 360 for this game, or do you just want me to tell you that it's the worst game ever so you don't feel bad about not playing it? :P

it's ok. not great. i'm not a fan of the controls but it's still an ok game. while it may be the prettiest of all the games, it's not the best.

sonjason the 2nd one :D
ive already got my heart set on a ps3.
how could it be worse than wlk tho? with such great hardware surely it would only improve the game?

It lacks charm and variety thanks to the new director.

there's no level variety as nearly all the levels are based on size only. you have to roll X size.

sure, it's pretty, but with the dlc already being on disc and you paying for an unlock key and stuff like that, it's just meh.

well, that's a toughie then... a ps3, or a 360 so you can play katamari? at least the ps3 is region-free, so if a new katamari came out you wouldn't have to wait :D it's hard for me to say, i love my ps3.

the familiarity, the controller and free online are what appeal to me about the ps3.
that dlc thing sounds annoying.
tis a shame it doesnt have much variety, it seemed like it had a lot of potential from the early trailers.

i wonder how this game did in terms of sales?

VGChartz says 0.25m =/

But it doesn't have any EU sales charted.

they definitely didn't use the system's potential in my opinion. they could have put more levels on the disc and been more creative. i'm not sure if it was the sheer mass of item information that caused the frame rate to lag or what, but especially when i first started playing it seemed to sort of "freeze" the katamari. i got used to it, but at first it was just like you've got to be kidding me. it's weird they "couldn't" develop for the ps3. my guess is that microsoft is paying them off. lol. my suggestion is if you know anyone who has a 360 to download the demo. that level will give you an idea of what you'll be dealing with. mind you, i played the heck outta the game, and i would buy it again, especially if it came out for the ps3 :crosses fingers:

they could have put more medium levels. it always seems to go from making something like 25m to a bazillion km. Intermediate levels with a couple thousand m would have been nice before moving up to KM levels.

see, the thing is....i would totally play this non-stop if it was on the ps3 and i would not gripe about buying dlc or anything, how odd but despite playing it on the 360, i just couldn't like it the way they did it. plus, i somewhat felt like it was a shot at the ps2/3 people to have a level with dozens upon dozens of 360's in the level and call it "coolhouse"

Fangirlism at its finest. :D

Everything down to the DLC would be the same. The only difference would be the controller.

lol, and i feel the same way. closet fangirlism.

i just like the ps3 controller better than the 360 controller. i don't like the misaligned sticks. i'm sure it works better for some games but not for katamari.

at least they made the dashing work better, if it had the same difficulty as kd with the misaligned sticks then it would have driven me mad. i just don't like the sticks in general, they're uncomfortable to me.
