So, many of you may have heard of the Katamari series before, but never before have I been so enamored with it. The Xbox 360 demo for Beautiful Katamari really seems to have done me in, and so starts my love of the game. While in my local GameCrazy, my friendly neighborhood GC-buddy, Dusten, showed me “Me & My Katamari” on the PSP. Wow, can we say gorgeous? The cartoon-like graphics just look so crisp and clear on that high-resolution PSP display, and the music is kookie and strange… how wonderful.
If you’re not familiar with Katamari, while the story lines seem to be strange, I mostly ignore them. Instead, I just focus on the gameplay… which is awesome. You roll this little ball around–a Katamari ball–and stuff sticks to it… and then stuff sticks to the stuff that stuck to the ball, and then stuff sticks to that stuff, and so on. Eventually you’re sticking people and houses, and who knows what else to your ball which is now becoming quite large (measured in meters). When you’re done, the King of All Cosmos tells you what your ball comprises of, and scores your ball.
After I’ve put some more play time into Me & My Katamari I’ll give you all a full review. Until then, I strongly recommend that you give it a look-see.
