The big, huge Katamari ball of junk just keeps on rolling, this time with a new installment called Beautiful Katamari slated to hit Xbox Live Arcade in October. Gamespot got to try out the latest build of the game and found that the game will offer a host of improvements--such as achievements and 720p resolution--that you'd expect out of an Xbox 360 game, while remaining strictly faithful to the surreal, entertaining gameplay that's defined this series since its humble inception a few years ago.
After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.
Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.
Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth
Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.
It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.
It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.
Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!
Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
Neil writes "The latest Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale is now up and running, bringing a number of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. But unless you've recently won a substantial amount of cash on the lottery, chances are you won't be able to justify purchasing each and every game that has been treated to a price cut. So which are the best and which are the worst deals of the week? Let us tell you!"
If it's the 800 i won't consider this, but if they would start releasing a few more back at the 400 point level i may consider buying this and other XBLA.
right on, this game will do fantasic over XBLA. 10-20 bucks for a full fledged Katamari game sounds more than fair. Can't wait to DL this. I'm glad it won't be 60 bucks at retail.
FANTASTIC?! this is a 5 yr old's game, jeezus
