Beautiful Katamari is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Family Gamer review Wed, 22 Apr 2009

Touted as a gaming revolution I find myself deeply unimpressed with Beautiful Katamari. After ploughing many hours into this game I can't help but feel the rest of world has had the wool pulled over their eyes. With its one-dimensional gameplay model repeated ad-nauseam, this is a game that adds practically nothing to the previous release of Katamari Damacy.

Katamari seems to be a victim of its own success. Taken on its own simplistic terms, it certainly delivers a novel and largely enjoyable experience. But don't expect a whole lot more than this. Like your Katamari at the end of a level, it is pretty much the same all the way through - a multi layered mass of distracting trinkets. If, like me, you are not overly taken by the basic ball rolling idea then there really isn't much else for you here. It's a game that endearingly wears its heart on its sleeve but forces you to either love or hate it.
