    One of the best video games in my collection. It has an improved level select interface from the first game. The music even tops Katamari Damacy's music.

    I loved the first Katamari Damacy, and though the sequal's music isn't as compelling, the game play is very entertaining. A great sequal to a great first game!

    "We Love Katamari" is a great sequel that expands on the great concept that made Katamari Damacy a masterpiece. While some people may complain about the dated graphic visuals still in the game, it's these visuals that help make "We Love Katamari" fun and humorous. The levels have greatly increased in numbers and the sizes of the maps have also improved. I've really enjoyed all of the new enviroments, new goals, and new characters this game has implemented. The songs are still catchy although there are a few I still haven't gotten use to yet. There is an actual story to "We Love Katamari" that gives it's players the background story about the King and his father. While these quick cutscenes of the King and his father are very short it does add some depth to the characters we have all grown to love from Katamari Damacy. If you haven't tried Katamari Damacy yet go pick it up! And if you loved Katamari Damacy your love will continue "We Love Katamari"... you won't be disappointed. Expand

    This is game is much fun and is terribly addictive!! Don't play it if you don't want to be hooked on a game, cause this is the banana split of PS2 games. Keep you going for hours and hours and hours.

    I've been playing the Japanese version for four days now, and can safely say it's an even better game than the original. The stages are more varied and inventive (and there are more of them), the graphics are more detailed, and the music is just as fantastic. I can't wait for the U.S. release to figure out what the King is actually saying...

    Probably my favorite game of all time!! Surpasses the original because it adds different elements to the rolling (getting brighter, rolling up dollar amounts, etc). Even once you complete all the levels, there is endless amusement in inspecting all the objects you've collected, taking pictures and putting them in your photo album, just rolling around and exploring at your leisure, etc. I wish there was more merchandise available related to the game! I would buy everything! If anything, though, the lack of "official" merchandise has left the door open for all sorts of unique fan-created items to be bought and sold. Expand

    I LOVE KATAMARI!!! The gameplay and story both still feel innovative. The game is very humorous and it will leave you humming the Katamari theme song as many times as you listen to it. Those who are depressed should buy a PS2 and We Love Katamari.

    Better than the first game on every level except music, We Love Katamari is a classic. It may not be as original as the previous game, but when more of the same is this compelling, it's hard to complain. Plus, the hilariously self-referential nature of the game makes it a kind of MetaKatamari. Not to be missed.

    I'm giving it a 9 because I think the controls in the katamari games are awkward.

    But it's still a great game!!

    Is there anything more fun then rolling up the sun with a huge sticky ball?!

  1. Albeit shorter than an average game We Love Katamari is excellent all the way through. If you loved the first game there is no doubt that you’ll laud We Love Katamari.

    "Katamari Damacy" is still on my short list of favorite games of all time. It's an incredible game, and I'm not giving up my copy for anyone. But We Love Katamari has managed to beat it, hands down, in almost every single way.
  3. Consistently surprising and full of unexpected delights even for players who squeezed the last drops out of the first game; it takes the concept that we loved so much and asks "I wonder what else we can do with this" with a huge cheeky grin on its face and a pocket full of Class-A drugs, Party Rings and bathroom cleaning products.
