I Love Katamari! iPhone App Review - AppVee.com

[SalientK]

WTF. Are you telling me Katamari has been available on the iPod for 2 years now and I never knew about it? Wow.

[chronousnemesis]

@SalientK I had the same thinking as you are. How can I miss this?!

[CerratedFusion]

if its on the iphone, WHY ISNT IT ON THE WII!!

[EvilLamas]

@CerratedFusion because the wii isn't cool enugh.

[ZechsMerquise73]

I like when he picks up the old answering machine cassette tapes.

[feathers632]

Games looks boring as f*ck.

[elmokoning]

Have they already fixed the framerate in an update?

[KapustaCuber]

@elmokoning Yes, it works quite nicely on mine.

[DementedMax]

Is this on a 3g, a 3gs, or a 4g?

[1darkonyx1]

@DementedMax I think it's reviewed on 3g, cuz on 3gs it's alot better, and even better (perfect) on 4g

[TheHardonCollider]

@DementedMax There is no such thing as an iPhone 4G. It's called an iPhone 4 and still uses 3G technology. Apple doesn't make 4G phones.

[Stunmonkey]

@TheHardonCollider

4g = 4th generation fucktard

[RickTheStickman2]

KEEP ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING

King of All Cosmos APPROVES this game.

Framerate problems? DROP THAT SILLY KATAMARI AND COME OVER HERE!

*Prince gets smacked in the face*

-Words from a crazy fan.

[powowranger]

can someone explain to me y my version is in japanese?

[sonicshortsextreme]

the the controls look a little tough..

[mustachio31]

They've actually already fixed thus problem....

[luv4manga]

Gaah, I was turning my head trying to keep it level with the screen. That was so confusing. @_@

[blueshreve]

i got the lite version and it is the same problem. im not getting the full version till they fix it

[classifieds103]

@blueshreve for the lite version, is it just me or can i never make a katamari big enough for the king of cosmos within the 2 minute time frame? or do i just suck haha sorry im a katamari noob

[blueshreve]

@classifieds103 yea i got the free version. i think its impossible to pass the first round in the demo. if it is possible, i cant do it

[classifieds103]

@blueshreve um is that the free version? How big does the katamari have to be to pass the 1st round with the 2 minute time frame?

[TheNewMightyChalaza]

@classifieds103 I beat it my first try. I finished with about 13 cm.

[classifieds103]

@TheNewMightyChalaza is that the same for the lite version? on the lite version i've already gotten up to 80 cm in 2 minutes.. and the king would say good job in the end, but then the screen fades and it says buy full version

[TheNewMightyChalaza]

@classifieds103 Oh, never mind. I think the demo is unbeatable. I just figured that I had won since the dark swirly screen didn't pop up and the King didn't shoot me with lasers. But wow, 80 cm! That's amazing!

[classifieds103]

@TheNewMightyChalaza haha yeah well it took me 10910921 tries because i basically had to memorize the trail of the objects/debris to get it all really quickly. yeah i wanna buy the thing D:

[AKATSUKIComics]

did they fix the frame rate?

[jpx7x]

nope its still lagged

[mustachio31]

@AKATSUKIComics Yea they did.

[KONEelevatorman111]

Does the 3rd gen ipod have less slowdown playing this game?

[mooroxy]

oh ya i got the new one its much better, in fact their is no slowdown

[anthonylovesgames]

Yep. I hav it. It still slows a little though.

[Emericask8b]

ok so i jailbroke my ipod and downloaded it but it is in japanese or something does anybody know how to change it to english

[d4ni3lg4rc14]

what is jailbreaking?

[Geri9630]

find an english version

:D

[jcudal32]

I Love Katamari but i dont love this game..so much slow downs.

[TDWPisAwsome1]

how the heck do you make the language english!

[xXPunkMauXx]

i have the same problem

[F3liX75]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS GAME!

[JoshuaOneHundred]

I think i downloaded 1.2 off of installous, i havent played it yet, hope frame issue is good now

[somehominid]

1:04 lololol TOUCH INTERFAITH!

[Peakay]

Nothing else better to comment on.

[kistajk]

Does the update fix the framerate issue? Is it smooth now?

[youngsk8ers122]

yes

[ASGaming]

yes it works now, this video is really old..

[InsAnityKey]

hey appvee i gatta question, if they update the game and u already purchased it B4 do u get a current version? please resopnd asap

[krazysoul]

I'm not appvee but I do know that if you have a purchased game and an update comes out you get the update for free.

[RSSTyger]

you do

[squidterm]

One of the most creative games ever made. Incredibly unique concept, executed perfectly for such an ambitious idea. Hopefully the iphone issues are fixed. I am thinking about downloading this tonight.

[ThreeMicks]

Namco has released version 1.1 and it largly fixes the issues we were seeing.

Any chance you'll update your review?

Cheers!

[chfgn]

It should be noted that the Second Generation iPod Touch should have significantly fewer framerate issues than the iPhone because it has more powerful hardware.

[nicolasmarinus]

I totally agree.

My initial enthousiasm over this game has vanished because of the terrible gameplay and framerate.

It makes the levels really impossible. Wait for an update.

[general1108]

this is the type of game u play when high. when ur high this game makes sense. other wise it seems really weird and fucked up

[xxcliefxx]

this game suckz

[musicman12]

A working version of Katamari makes me feel so manly and happy. But this doesn't I guess. The trouble is now, I'm not going to check up with this game. I'll forget about it amongst a whole bunch of other games like Silent Hill and Metal Gear which were just announced. So even if they do patch it they'd have to advertise it for me to even know.

Wasted.

[DeltaNC]

Really annoys me when a company bothers to release a product with such blatant issues. Just like the recent release of GTA4 on the PC this game seems to be unplayable "out of the box" and I have no idea what excuse they could possibly use to explain how these problems got past testing.

[22385147]

I've been thinking about getting this but I'll probably wait until they do an update to fix the frame rate problems. Thanks AppVee!

[InsAnityKey]

i see a version 1.1 meaning its updated so u should b ok in getting it

[jamie1051]

WELL DONE WASTE MAN
