GameSpot: Today On The Spot 9/12/09
Phil writes, "I don't like to toot my own horn (aw, hell-- TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!), but today I celebrate my 31st birthday, and with that, SuperPhillip Central arrives with five special themes to commemorate the occasion. Sure, I was going to use these five VGMs regardless, but why ruin the spectacle of the moment?
The recently released Gravity Rush 2 leads us off with a jazzy battle theme before handing it off to Final Fantasy XI. Then, we turn our attention to Okamiden. Following that is some funk (the good kind) from Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio. Lastly, we roll on through with a catchy song from Katamari Forever.
Hey, you! Yeah, you! Click on the VGM volume name to hear the song on YouTube! Finally, check out the VGM Database for all past VGMs featured on this weekly recurring segment. Now, let's get on to the music!"
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
The PS4 has many good games but gamers always love to think about the classics. Katamari is one of those classics that is needed.
Not really interested in Katamari forever.
I disagree. I am very interested in this. I played the demo for a nice bit today.
The game play has taken a turn for CHANGE w00t. You can jump now and there are other alternatives to just "rolling everything up" which is nice.
I want online co-op/offline co-op (have no bothered to read about the games features) However, just by the demo alone, I plan to purchase this enjoyable game.
Plus, I have the other games, Beautiful Katamari aside.
Edit:
"Katamari Forever does not include online multiplayer as in Beautiful Katamari but instead features offline multiplayer and online leaderboards."
...Fcking fail.
I thought I'd get to play with strangers, online, or people from my PS friends list...I guess. I could not care less about leaderboards w/o multi.
