OMG Katamari Damacy 2!

[Mzo]

It looks exactly the same.

I hope they let you jump or something.

What are the odds of this coming here again?

[Wilykat]

Chances are probably pretty good, considering the unexpected buzz the first one generated.

Just price it for $19 again and go.

It's already confirmed for PAL release... I expect America will probably get it too.

But why not wait for the inevitable GameCube port?

[Bacon McShig]

Shriek.

It looks a tiny bit better, though I couldn't tell you how exactly. More of the same is cool with me anyway, if you're expecting the PS2 to handle much more than what KD threw at it (smoothly) you're deluded. Even if the game turns out not to be different enough to warrant a purchase, some good music should at least come out of it.

This is an excellent point I completely didn't think about.

I'm more excited to hear the new soundtrack than play the game.

I think if you guys tried to compete in the Score Attack thread you'd appreciate the first one a lot more. Despite some control issues it's a very tight puzzler, but the goals they set are far far too easy.

[Jeremy]

The graphics look sharper, and the music should kick all kinds of ass. Count me in.

more katamari goodness = sex

and btw, please challenge my katamari skills in score attack, the more the merrier

As much as I loved the first one, I hope something is added to the gameplay here. Even just some little things, like maybe certain objects having more effect on the ball. Like maybe if you pick up a camp fire it will set other stuff on fire. Or like a magnet would pull small metal things to it. Kind of like small little power ups almost in just normal objects you pick up. Or like if you pick up a driving car, its wheels would still be moving so that if you were to be rolling a long and the ball rolled with the car toching the ground the wheels would catch and kind of skid the ball in a direction or something.

[Cheebs]

Woo Hoo! I look forward to rolling up that classroom.
