Me & My Katamari Critic Reviews

Does a great job of replicating the magic of the two PS2 titles on the PSP system. Due to the controls and the repetitive level design, the game won't be stealing the spotlight of the PS2 titles, but at the same time it's still a great game that can now be played on the go.

The title, although a bit short in the level variety, certainly is worth its price in other content, including one of the best senses of humor to be found in a game.

Despite the lack of level diversity towards the later part of the game, everything else fits nicely into place. The control scheme efficiently uses the PSP's solo analog setup, and there are plenty of different objects, unlockable characters, and presents just begging to be discovered.

A wonderfully unique offering from our wonderfully inventive friends in Japan.

It captures the magic and provides the quirky, unique gameplay in portable form as faithfully as humanly possible. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Me and My Katamari disappointed me just a wee little bit with it’s limited level variety and frequent mid-level load times, and because of these faults the game isn’t as great as it could’ve and should’ve been.

There is no real feeling of "competing for the conclusion" that most games have. This is really just mindless, goofy fun.

Even though the drawbacks make for a shorter game overall, in the end, Me and My Katamari continues the already brilliant kookiness of the series, delivering a quick portable ball-rollin' fix.

Terrific fun, though sadly let down by dodgy controls and the repetition of environments. Still, in short bursts, it's one of the best games you'll get for your PSP.

While it is a bit awkward at first; having a handheld Katamari game outweighs the controls compromise.

From the first notes of the opening tune ‘Katamari on the Funk’ to the sight of the King of All Cosmos gyrating, it’s clear this is Katamari Damacy and all fans of the franchise are sure to enjoy its first portable outing, even if the controls are not as fluid as in the previous incarnations.

That it’s the same game as before – albeit with new levels – isn’t that important; that you can take it with you wherever you go and enjoy it at virtually any time is.

Though a few technical concessions have been made to fit the game onto a PSP, the charm of the series still shines brightly.

Perhaps a bit less imaginative than its PS2 counterparts, the game's still a quirky example of pure fun.

Thankfully, great writing and an interesting location twist keep the gimmick fresh, and the solid technical execution makes this just as playable as the original.

Combine addictive gameplay with fun, colorful graphics and a wacky soundtrack and you have a recipe for a good time – even if it has all been done before.

If you haven't already been hooked by Katamari's mad charms, then this really is the perfect place to start.

It may have little grounding in reality, but Me & My Katamari is so unique and delightful – from the very germ of the idea through to its jaw-dropping, coherent and bursting-with-character execution – that it's one of those games you simply must play.

Not as essential as the PS2 version, but terrific ball-rolling fun that you can enjoy anywhere you go.
