Lets play: We Love Katamari on the PS2

We Love Katamari is a video game published by Namco for the PlayStation 2. It was released in Japan on July 6, 2005, in North America on September 20, 2005, and in Europe on February 2, 2006. It is the sequel to the previous year's sleeper hit, Katamari Damacy. This was the first installment of the series in Europe.

Since the release of the original game, the King of All Cosmos and his son the Prince have acquired a fan base. The Prince receives a request from a fan at the start of the game. The main objective of the game is to have the Prince fulfill each fan's request. Upon completing the requests more fans (stages) appear until the whole game is full of fans. After finishing each fan's request, the Katamari is given to the king, which he uses to create a new planet in the cosmos, this continues until there are enough planets in the cosmos to roll up the sun using the Earth as a katamari.

The basis of the gameplay is to roll up materials using a magical, highly adhesive ball. You start off only being able to pick up smaller items, but as the Katamari grows you can roll up larger items. Some requests are size based, collecting objects for their monetary value, rolling a sumo wrestler over food items to gain body mass, pushing a snowball around to create the head of an enormous snowman, and a number of time attack challenges.

Yet again this is another great game from my collection i'd highly recommend. If you are unable to find this game for the PS2, there are newer versions available on the XBOX 360 and PS3. I don't claim to be any good at this game, enjoy :)

@LeBossu77 Yea, its a great game. Do you have a cop of it? Other than mine, i've only seen it out in the wild once before. Strangely, this wasn't as good as my first play through. I included the intro as well cos its just so wierd and wonderful.

Love the quirky nature of Japanese games - surprised Katamari was released in the West actually.......just (literally) picked up the PS3 version but not given it a crack yet :)

@bluetonic78 These are brilliant ames mate, really addicting too. I think the PS3 version is basically the 360 version but a bit more

[LeBossu77]

@cod2fan Yeah, I've got my copy, no messing. I've actually seen it a few times out and about, I bought one and sold it on ebay recently. Freakishly, a few years ago I saw 6 brand new copies in Oxford St. HMV for £10 each, 1 of them was sealed as well, I always regret not nabbing it.

You did the right thing in including the intro, it says everything about the game and draws you in from the off. It always makes me smile.
