| How is there not a thread on this? Just came out a little while ago. Snagged it at Target today, and it's even BETTER than the original. The King of All Cosmos is just as fabulous as ever, and really flippant, too. Doesn't care about what you want to do, then someone compliments him (his chin most of all) and he's all about, say, using a flaming katamari to start a campfire. Stages seem much bigger, too. If you have a PS2, NO EXCUSE. Well, except it isn't $20. $30 for this one. |

| I was planning on buying the first game, but now this one came out... should I get both or does the new one make the old one obsolete? (btw, I've played a lot of the original already) | |||

| It's illegal to not have the first one. I bought the first, and I don't even own a PS2. |

Randy downloaded the Japanese version because he's impatient and because he could. We unlocked everything. And then we bought the US version and we're unlocking everything all over again. Nobody's complaining.  The sumo level is my favorite because it's funny and because it's one of the ones I can kick ass at without thinking much. (I need a lot of help with that danged school level.  I love the concept, but it irritates me because you waste so much time if you pick the wrong room and can do little more than bump around.) And that OK Mr. Sunshine song owns my soul.  |

So how did you play it, Cy?  I can't be held responsible for breaking the law since I *never* saw Katamari Damacy in any store here. Period. And I didn't see We Love Katamari there either. |

| Me and my girlfriend both have the first Katamari game and we absolutely love it. I even have the soundtrack. I haven't got this one yet, though. I played it at E3 and it didn't seem too different, other than the new multiplayer stuff. What makes this game much more different than the first? (Does it even have to be very different from the first to be good? If it ain't broke, don't fix it...) |

Originally posted by Kirby PopStarIt has more gameplay variety. The first game only had the following types of levels, and all of these are in the new one as well: - Get as big as possible within a time limit. - Get to a certain size without any size indicator. - Collect as many of a certain type of object as possible. - Collect one of a certain type of object. The stage ends as soon as you pick one up. For a better score, you must capture a large one. The second game adds the following: - Get to a certain size as fast as possible. - Get as big as possible, but you are only allowed to pick up fifty objects. - Collect as many of a certain type of object as possible and bring the katamari back to someone within the level within the time limit. - Collect all of the objects within a stage as fast as possible. - Run up some arbitrary counter not necessarily based on the size of your katamari as high as possible. For instance, there's a stage where you're supposed to form a katamari with a large monetary value (based on the prices of the objects you roll up). Granted, you can generally do well on these by getting hyoooge and rampaging over everything, but it's still not EXACTLY the same as simply getting hyoooge. - Get the katamari as big as possible and roll up a woodpile with it. The catch is that the katamari is on fire and the fire will go out if you go too long between picking up objects (or you fall in the river). This one's tough. - Get the katamari as big as possible and roll it on top of a snowman body. This one's interesting because there's no time limit and the katamari's size increases just from being rolled around in the snow. It's an easy relaxing stage that requires some patience to attain a high score in. I think that overall, the "collect certain items" stages are more fun and interesting in We Love Katamari. There's one where you change the weather by rolling up clouds. The stage starts out dark and gloomy, but it becomes brighter as you proceed. In another stage, you collect fireflies at night. I honestly didn't care for most of the collection levels in the original game because they became a boring game of "hunt the such-and-such". There's also more stage variety. In addition to the house, town, and world areas similar to those in the first game, you'll roll around in a school, an underwater area, a campsite, and a dreamy flower garden. You can play as any cousin you want on single player, and there are more presents to pick up. This doesn't change the gameplay any, but it is nifty. The basic gameplay is pretty much the same, but We Love Katamari doesn't feel like the same thing all over again simply because the stages are different and there are many new objectives. They did take an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach with the gameplay, which is A Very Good Thing(tm) for fans of the original. |

| Fools, the best song two songs are Disco Prince and Everlasting love. I unlocked everything the million roses level this morning. Dear god that's gonna take awhile to complete. The best level is the race track. I love just playing that level and then putting on Butt Racing and just going nuts. I never botghered unlcoking everything in the first one. Seemed too much of a chore at the time. I ma y actually go back and do it now. for those of us who have gotten everythng: Who's your favorite cousin? Mine would definetly have to be Slip. |

You can also keep reloading it until you get the ski resort and then set up the controller so that the katamari is always moving forward. (We set ours upside down under a book. Rubber bands work, too.) Then just leave the PS2 on and watch roses pile up.  Cheap, perhaps, but we don't particularly care. Collecting 1 million of the blasted things is an exercise in extremely repetitive boredom. It's not like you're automatically doing something that requires skill (unless you count "keeping yourself from falling asleep" as a skill ).(edited by Rydain on 10-03-05 01:07 AM) |
