    We love Katamari~!

    This is what makes being a fanboy worthwhile.

    So, if you don't want to know anything more about this game at the current time, please don't read any further.

    I swore to god I wouldn't waste time on anything else right now, but how could I resist? The intro is as weird, lovely and confusing as the last, but more subdued. Wacky visuals... as usual.

    From what I gathered (and this wasn't much, since the intro for a new game is a long story in JP text with an awesome narrator) you're helping random people on earth by rolling up stuff they like or want. I guess people like the katamari stars and planets and want more. It explains some of what happened in the last game. Who knows, but that's the beauty of Katamari. I'll figure out the details later on.

    The intro/tutorial level is similar to the one in the first game, but you can roll up these freaky angel things that scream. *insert Hank Scorpio laugh*

    I took some digital camera pics for the curious, sorry the images look like ass.

    In one level, you have to roll up everything in this kid's room until there's nothing left. I thought I was supposed to do something funky or find an exit so I wasted a lot of time here and got the present. It's a bigger antenna thingy for the tiny prince. He's finally a man.

    The backstory seems to revolve around a young king of all cosmos and his father, seen here watching him dance with geese.
    *dead link removed*

    There's a tripped out fairy tale land with tons of flowers and cute animals/wood sprites/centaurs/gnomes/etc for you to try to roll up.

    The music is awesome as usual, and so far it's very diverse (just like the last one). I've already fallen in love with the music that plays during this screen:

    The lake/sea level is neat, because the katamari moves as if you are rolling underwater.

    And there is a pseudo-world map instead of your little home planet. You can visit the king from there, etc. If you find cousins, you can play the game as that cousin.

    I would play more, but if I do, I'll skip work and not focus on the whole art thing, so .... I'll share more later.

    That game is gonna rock my ass.

    I wish I could import it but I barely know any Japanese and I don't have a credit card. I'll have to wait.

      fanboy? do we need to go over genre differences? or do you just use that term because "fangirl" tends to bring images of fat teenagers drawing naked pictures of sephiroth and cloud?

        Hey! What I draw in the privacy of my home...
        Oh my god! You are so beautiful.
        I had no idea how beautiful you were.

          I hate the term "fangirl." That sounds stupid. I'm sorry.

            If they release it stateside as Everyone Loves Katamari, they'd best have Ray Romano as a roll-up-able dealie.

              Did you get any gifts yet? What's the 2-player mode like?

                Yeah, I got the camera and the big antenna. I was wearing them both at the same time, so I guess you can make the prince look like a real freak. We'll give two player mode a try tomorrow.

                Redneck, you don't need to know Japanese to play this (just like most other imports). Often times, there are decent walkthroughs for imports on gamefaqs.

                  I could try. But my parents would get on my case about ordering online, and even moreso when I re-buy the American version. Plus I don't even have a credit card.

                  I'll just wait.

                    Speaking of that, did you get permission to send your address for the giveaway?

                      Basically. Thanks for remembering.

                      It just has to be 100% and I don't want to bug their asses off. It's their mailbox, not mine. As long as you aren't in a hurry.

                        Oh, I'm not in a hurry. The order hasn't arrived yet. I need to make sure I send 'em all at once, after all.

                          Your parents sound strict. I don't understand how they would view getting a free PS2 game as being a bad thing.

                            They actually really really aren't. But they let me do something like this before and I got ripped off $100 by some asshole over the net, so they are nervous to let me do it again. I told them this time I don't have to send anyone credit cards or anything, but they just don't want me to get screwed out of something.

                            Or, get a bomb in the mail.

                              Wow... just wow. That looks SO awesome! I can hardly wait to play it.

                              Thank you so much for sharing these drool-worthy pics with us!
