Katamari Forever Critic Reviews

It's impossible not to love Katamari completely, despite the fact that the concept, camera and controls hardly have evolved at all.

Katamari Forever is the penultimate game in the series thus far; a collection of the best levels combined in a modest port of Beautiful Katamari along with the introduction of yet another awesome new character makes for a game that rekindles the love for rolling.

There are stacks of stages, plus loads to unlock too - perfect for those looking for something different to fill their gaming lulls.

Having previously tried and enjoyed Katamari in earlier incarnations, you'll probably be more than satisfied with this PS3 version.

While Katamari Forever is a fun, quirky and interesting experience, it suffers from a number of issues which really disrupt the flow of the game.

It’s not quite as technically sound as it could’ve been in my eyes, but it’s still awesome.

It's absolutely great for fans.

Katamari Forever is more a homage to the franchise than a new entry. It might to be enough for the fans, but it's great for people who enter this surreal world for the first time.

If you are that rare somebody who has always been interested in Katamari but never made the plunge, this is a strong recommendation.

Although many stages are re-hashed from other games in the series, there’s enough here to tempt veterans back for more. Newcomers should not hesitate to jump in.

Playable like a digitally remastered greatest hits album.

Katamari Forever also has online leaderboards and a local two-player option, but the game's at its best when you're just sort of rolling around, semi-aimlessly, grabbing anything and everything in your path.

Katamari fans who have not played every game in the series will most likely get more out of Katamari Forever due to the recycled content, but it's solid entry in a quirky franchise regardless of your past Prince experience.

Katamari Forever is a collection of everything that is great about the Katamari series since its conception.

Katamari Forever has some of the best gameplay you’ll ever find in the series. So if you’ve never played any of the other games, give this a go. Katamari is on the roll again.

Somehow it's just as captivating today as it ever has been.

Big, bright, colorful, and a tidal wave quirkiness rolled into a ball, Katamari Forever can be a lot of fun if you just let yourself enjoy it.

A lack of new content will disappoint old fans.

Katamari Forever doesn't try too many new things with this first PS3 version, but the old formula still works well. That said, I'd recommend this to newcomers and series veterans alike.

Katamari Forever has original gameplay, but with this new game the gameplay is identical to the first one. A good game, but without any new gameplay possibilities.
