I've been playing this since the end of September and although i "cleared" the game I still cant stop playing it. I never played the first game but this is one of the most orinialgames I've ever played the creator must have awaken from a drug induced coma to come up with the concept behind it. We <3 Katamari was an easy buy, however I bought it for my girl and she wont let me take it home(I used her as a cover for buying it). So I Just may get the first one to get a Katamari fix until i can play the second one.

Anyway from what I read of the first game this one "IS" mostly the same but with additions (think Splinter Cell choas Theory) and that its better than the first. It is truely another PS2 classic even though they jacked the price up $10.

My largest so far is 1095meters and I have not yet unlocked the 1,000,000 roses mission yet, have to collect all cousins first.

Its buy, Heck even if you have never heard of the game buy it and you will be addicted after the first 20 minutes. If anyone has payed it let me what you think.
 
Just got the game!

It's just more of the same, really, and I'm loving it! :D
 
I just picked up Katamari Damacy last night. I hope the music is as cool as the second game. I didnt think I could enjoy such goofy music in the second game.
 
I have the first game, but I never played it much. There was too much talking on the beginning so I started to play other games.

I think it's even better. 👍


Felipe, you don't have to read all that, although it's funny.
Just go for it. It's a lovely game.
 
Ok I finished the very short first game. After my few hours at it i can say that We <3 Katamari is the supiror game e\in every way.

The first think i noticed with the first game was the lack of texture filtering. Overally detail is also less.

Graphics aside the controls in the first game are not as good compared to WLK. Its easier to move around in the second game.

The dash takes more efford to do it KD. Its easier to do in WLK.

The level design is poor compared to WLK. In KD you run into many tight spots and often. WLK's levels are more open and you wont be hitting as many walls or objects.

Items fall off to often in KD along with the frequent walls and the fact that you can run into things you can roll up onto and over too easy.

Item placement is poor compared to WLK. They give fewer thing in a given area and it takes longer to get up in size.

It is a shorter game but not by a whole lot. I think WLK has a little more replay value only becasue of the better levels and tighter cotrols.

KD has some camera angles that block your view. WLK fixed this by aloowing you to see through walls to prevent this.

Now last and finally the music. WLK has the better sound track imo. KD is nice and interesting but i still cant get some of those tunes from WLK out of my head.

Katamari Damacy- 7.9

pros- Most original game you can find
$20
Interesting J-pop music

Cons-Looks like a N64 game
Level design is not user friendly
Camera angles that block your view

We Love Katamari- 8.5

pros-More of the same as the original
Can play with many cousins
Addictive gameplay
Great sound track that fits the game nicely

cons-A short game but you'll want to keep playing to break all your recordns or get the hidden top scores

In the End i played the second game first so i can see better that these are not the same game. This why i think the media gave KD a high rating than WLK, they all played the first one and there was less to notice as far as differences. I played the second first and i can not give the first game a higher rating because its not the better game.
