WhatTheyPlay writes: "Katamari Forever is the fifth game in the Katamari series and the first to be released for PlayStation 3. In this puzzle-adventure game, you play as the Prince, and at the beginning of the game, your father, the King of All Cosmos, knocks himself unconscious when he rockets up into the sky. So the kingdom won't be leaderless, the Prince builds a robot version of his father to stand in until the Prince can successfully help his father wake up; throughout the game, the Prince goes back and forth between his unconscious father's brain and the Robot King, fulfilling their requests.
All of the requests in the game involve rolling a ball (called a katamari) around a variety of environments in order to roll up items into a ball. Items start small, such as caramels and thumbtacks and mice, and increase in size as the katamari grows larger, eventually becoming mountains and clouds. Sometimes the goal is to get the katamari to at least as large as a predetermined size; other times the goal may be to roll up a katamari that is as expensive as possible or that is made primarily of sweet things."
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.
The PS4 has many good games but gamers always love to think about the classics. Katamari is one of those classics that is needed.
