Katamari Forever on PS3

Katamari Forever Screen Shots

Katamari Forever is a Platforming game available on the PS3. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Katamari Forever 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.

Katamari Forever can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Katamari Forever can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Family Gamer review Tue, 08 Dec 2009

Being a newcomer to the world of Katamari, this game introduced me to a bizarre and unique experience that had me simultaneously spellbound and puzzled. The unnecessary time limits on the levels were a source of frustration for me and my son but together we managed to eke a few enjoyable hours rolling up Katamari's and embracing the full-on bizarreness of Katamari Forever.

I must confess to never having played a Katamari game before. In fact, the whole series has remained hidden from me until the game appeared on my doormat and I wondered what on earth a 'Katamari' was. It turns out that this game in particular is perhaps best suited to someone new to the world of Keita Takahashi's bizarre creation, as Katamari Forever is in many ways a greatest hits of the previous Katamari games.

Family Gamer review Fri, 16 Oct 2009

With a varied amount of new situations to roll through, Katamari Forever on PS3 and Xbox 360 brings a vast amount of bizarre content. New art styles match the fresh gameplay and a fun storyline, and though some of the play can become repetitive, there isn't an ounce of boredom here.

I'm a huge fan of Japanese randomness and it comes by the bucket load in Katamari Forever. Humans built from blocks with their little right angled arms flapping in terror as they get stuck to a giant ball brings a genuine smile to my face, no matter how many times I see it.
