  • Summary: Taking a break from celestial construction, the King of All Cosmos takes the royal family on vacation to a tropical island paradise, where they become tasked with the responsibility of creating new katamari islands for homeless animals. An epic undertaking of this time, earthly proportions, the King calls upon his pint-sized son, the Prince, and all of his cousins for help. New features found in Me and My Katamari include: Wireless play for up to four people on the PSP system; A cast of playable characters that includes the Prince and his cousins – a mix of familiar faces and new additions; A host of customization options for player characters, including new masks and headgear, as well as the ability to wear them on the head, face and body; A new island interface that highlights player options and the different stages represented by animals in need of new homes.

  1. The title, although a bit short in the level variety, certainly is worth its price in other content, including one of the best senses of humor to be found in a game.
  2. Despite the lack of level diversity towards the later part of the game, everything else fits nicely into place. The control scheme efficiently uses the PSP's solo analog setup, and there are plenty of different objects, unlockable characters, and presents just begging to be discovered.
  3. Be warned that the control scheme is quite frustrating and the levels are reused more often than they should.

    The lack of variety in the levels was a major factor. But even more so was the constant loading and unnatural, abrupt transitions.

    This is my first exposure to Katamari after hearing about it so much. I love it!!! It is so original and whimsical, and fun!!! When people throw around the criticism that it is repetitive, they are themselves reacting in a repetitive and conventional fashion. It's a game, not life (which can be multifaceted) All games happen to be repetitive in some way or another. If it happens to be a repetition one likes then more often than not, the reviewer doesn't mention the crirticism of repetition. The review can only be as competent as the human being doing the reviewing. They can't all be Da Vincis and Einsteins!!! Trust me. Read my 2008 review of Speed Racer, the movie. Expand

    Great game, one of my favorite PSP games. I'm a huge fan of the series. However, the game has several annoying slowdowns and is not always responsive to the controls during these slowdowns. Still, incredibly fun to play. Expand

    One of my favorite PSP games. Like the first, many people will be bored by the lack of level varity, but upon a good search of each level, it is clear they are very unique (the small level in particular). Expand
