Video Game Reviews of Me and My Katamari
Customer Review: I know not many people will agree with me on this but...
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this version better than the PS2 version. Admittedly I played this one first before I ever even knew that PS2 had a version, so the excitement of first playing the game may be attributed to my love of the PSP version over the PS2 version. But whatever the cause I enjoyed this one more, and here's why.
This game is so simplistic it's just a blast. It belongs on the PSP because of its simple graphics and easy to play on the go gameplay. Both the PS2 and PSP versions have very simple storylines that don't require your full attention to just play the game. The King of the Cosmos went surfing while on vacation and ended up accidentally destroying all of the land on the planet he was on. You now have to roll your katamari around and collect items to rebuild the islands and such. Very similar to the PS2 version in fact, this ported over to the PSP so well that it lacks almost nothing the PS2 version has. The music and graphics are even the same. The only difference that most people will notice that have played both versions is that of entering levels. The PSP version has a shockingly funny way of entering levels where the prince is slingshot into the distance and appears to be hitting the King's crotch. I fell out of my chair laughing when I first saw this.
If I had to have one complaint about the PSP version it's that your thumbs will hurt...a lot, because of the controls. It's impossible just to push lightly on the directional pad and buttons to steer the katamari. You'll find yourself pushing harder on the buttons to try and make it go faster or something and your hands will kill you.
I don't know, I'm sure lots of people are going to continue to misuse the "helpful" vote link by clicking no on me simply because they disagree and not because my review wasn't helpful, but I don't care. The PSP version is well worth a try in my opinion and lacks nothing from the PS2 version.
Description of Me and My Katamari
The King of All Cosmos takes a break from celestial construction and takes the royal family on vacation to a tropical island paradise. Here, they become tasked with the responsibility of creating new katamari islands for homeless animals. The King's pint-sized son, the Prince, is called upon for this epic task with the help of all his cousins. Assume the role of the pint-sized prince and grow your katamari by rolling it around cleverly designed locations to collect objects throughout the world.Adventure Games
