OMG BUY THIS
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I like to come home, kick off my shoes, and play me some Katamari. For those who are familiar with the first game, Katamari Damacy, the goal is essentially the same: roll up as much stuff as you can in the smallest amount of time so your crazy daddy, the ever-creepy/awesome King of All Cosmos, can set it no fire and turn it into a star that he knocked out of the sky. (Or, in WLK's case, planets.) Katamari Damacy was an extremely fun game whose only shortcomings were its extremely short finishing time, (I was done in about two hours, but replay value is priceless. :D ) and it has a tendency to make your eyes feel like they're on fire after playing for a few hours. But that's because apparently I don't blink while playing Katamari...
Well, with We Love Katamari, the latter problem has not been fixed, (in fact, I think it's gotten worse...) but the lovely people at NAMCO have made full completion of your Cosmos more, let's say, ENGAGING. In actuality, it's gotten harder. Not only are there more missions, but they actually require skill to complete. In KD, it was fairly easy to finish your star-making missions. It's not anything to do with the controls, as they fairly remained intact. It has more to do with the charge-and-roll mechanism. In WLK, charging your katamari has become easier, but it's basically required in some missions for you to finish on time. (If you don't, the King of All Cosmos, with his giant Bulge of Doom, will zap you with laser beams from his eyes while little Earthlings mock you. I've had plenty of experience with this from the d***ed campfire stage...)
All in all, this game is a must-have. Combining the easy-to-learn controls, the challenging gameplay, and the screams of thousands of innocent people as you roll them up, and you're all set for one heck of a party. I also hear that the co-op mode is a blast, if not frustrating, as you and a friend team up to roll a katamari together. However, I have not had the opportunity to try it yet, so I can't say.
Just don't forget your eyedrops, and always remember to blink.Read full review
