Katamari Forever PS3

[Damini]

Anyone got this yet? I've been playing the demo for a couple hours non stop, and was utterly thwarted at getting my hands on a copy today. Going to head into town to hit up Game tomorrow and hope that they have one for sale.

I love this game so much. I have thumb blister. Thumb blister! From a demo. I'm going to have to steel reinforce my digits if I get the real thing.

Guys, if you want to get your girls into console gaming, get them this game. I haven't met a lady yet that doesn't love it. My godson thinks it's brilliant too, and every time he rolls something up his feet twitch off the ground. Very cute.

It soaks into you though. I found myself grinning in traffic works once, eying up all the traffic cones in a row, feeling a strong urge to roll them up.

I think it was someone on these forums that recommended the original game to me, so thanks. You created a (deformed thumb) monster.

lot of talk of rolling up. is it a practice game for skinning up?

 

[mycenae]

just looked at a vid of it on you tube....looks the wierdest thing ever. Whats the idea of the game?

 

[Wij]

Thought it was cack tbh

 

[Damini]

Mycenae - you play a little... cousin?... thing... and you have this giant sticky ball called a katamari, and you roll things up with the ball and they stick to it, so the more you roll, the larger you get, the bigger things you can roll... It sounds simple, and dull, but it's strangely cathartic and mesmerising and addictive. It's got the re-play value that old school spectrum games did.

And Wij - I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea. But I have just lost all respect for you.

Got the demo this morning. VERY wierd. The water sprinkler level is really quite hard!

 

[ST^]

It is kinda shit

 

[mycenae]

Dam, does your demo only have 2 available levels? If so, how the hell did you spend 2 hours playing it?
Or, am I just so shit at it, I haven't done well enough to open up more levels!

 

[Damini]

No just two levels + obsessive compulsive rolling = 2 hours.

 

[ST^]

Surely you didn't play the god-awful watering level more than once?

 

[Damini]

I did. I can't rest until I get at least 100 points.

I can't believe I've not posted in this thread before now! Katamari FTW! YouTube - Katamari Damacy Intro

Now, you can't argue with that!

I saw a really really large woman in specsavers today, and I wanted to push her over and roll her around the shop until she was smothered in spectacles.

How can you not love a game that does this to you?

Me and you Scouse, in big zorbing balls covered in glue, rampaging through a shopping centre. The rest are infidels, and don't understand. Come the revolution, we'll simply roll them up and go on to bigger and better things.

 

[Madmaxx]

do they have this for the WII ? I had a go on my bro's they other day and it was great fun, a game like this would be amazing I think

 

[Damini]

Nah, PS2, PS3 and Xbox360 only. But I would give the xbox one a miss, not as good as the others.

 

[Wij]

Surely you didn't play the god-awful watering level more than once?

It was shit wasn't it. Fucking impossible to see where you are going.

We've been playing Katamari since the original (in Japanese no less, complete mind f*ck!) and love it. Just picked up the new PS3 version and it's great, doesn't suffer from the laggy slowdowns the old ones used to.
