It's impossible not to love Katamari completely, despite the fact that the concept, camera and controls hardly have evolved at all.
A lack of new content will disappoint old fans. [Dec 2009, p.87]

This should be the go-to Katamari game for everybody. It has tons of content, cool music, and some nice bells and whistles. It's not really anything new, it's more like an updated collection, but there's really nothing incredibly wrong with that depending on how you come into it.

Can't say there was a single thing I did not like about this game. Now the only downside would be it's almost completely a compilation of levels from the prequels, but as it was my first Katamari game, I didn't mind and with the music remixed and the updated graphics, you'll love it even if you already played the older games. Don't get confused, though, the game is quite challenging despite the supercute appearance! Loving it.

Katamari Forever is more a homage to the franchise than a new entry. It might to be enough for the fans, but it's great for people who enter this surreal world for the first time.
Katamari Forever looks like too much like its old gen previous titles, but it's always very fun to play. New character, new planets and new challenges make Katamari a long lasting game, but we have to say that the lack of a multiplayer mode is such a shame.
Katamari Forever contains a creative variation of missions in different graphical styles, but brings not a lot of real changes to the game. If you have a Katamari game, you should probably not get Katamari Forever. If you are a Katamari fan or if you never played Katamari, this is the time to get it. But be aware, just a small group of gamers will appreciate this game.
Its value for money is significant: there is a lot of bulk here, much of it excellent. But its wider value to gaming, to Takahashi's message and to the series it celebrates, is diminished. Like a balloon deflating, Katamari Forever feels like the series' final exhale, all puff and energy now gone from the idea. Metaphor!
Katamari Forver is just as whimsically delightful as its predecessors but those who've followed the series for a long time will discover that the charm is starting to wear thin.
If you like a simple game that inspires your inner child, this is the game for you. It

All in all, this is a good Katamari game for fans and newcomers alike. It's refreshing to play a game where there is a great deal of challenge which makes the eventual victory all the sweeter.
the graphics are what you'd expect from a Katamari game and the way that they've treated it and updated it add to the charm and quirky feel to the game.
there are some levels that might be a little too tough for some players but that just adds to the level of satisfaction for when you eventually beat them.
if you're a katamari fan, this is a must have in your collection... if you've not played these games before, it's a good introduction... all over, it's a solid 9... doesn't really innovate too much but it does deliver classic Katamari gameplay like we've all come to know and love.

Not the best Katamari game ever but certainly a good one. It's still a fun and comical game but not as memorable as the PS2 ones.
If you enjoy all the Katamari bizarreness you should still play this one.

This game is fun, i played a demo on ps2 and when i saw that ps3 had a katamari game i bought it pre-owned and it surely was worth it. Catching little objects and grow up to "eat" stars is a great jump in one single level, i loved playing this game. And also the co-op was very fun but a little hard for me and my sister.

I went in to this game a huge fan of the first two Katamari games, and while this title is by no means bad it feels... unfair. I had to bust out the old games to be sure and even got a second opinion from a friend and it all pointed to the same conclusion.
This game is HARD.
What I really loved about the Katamari series was the sense of childlike fun you had rolling up stuff and listening to the terrified screams of the innocent, but this game feels like you are constantly on a deadline. I used to be able to roll up the King on the make the moon mission in the first game, but in this one I found myself constantly on the brink of failure. And some of the special missions seem to be designed to infuriate, and you are required to beat them in order to progress.
Now, all thing considered a Katamari is a Katamari, and in some ways this does some really cool things with the formula. However, overall it feels like a step BACKWARDS for the series, making it less fun and more stressful than any of the games before.
