Katamari Damacy 2

[Opaque]

What KD2 needs is interactivity between the objects you pick up. Like if you pick up a magnet, you can get more metal items, or a sheet of seaweed collects rice.

I like this idea.

I would also hope they would make the items in each world more realistic this time around. Endless trails of bananas around a pond and large groups of spoons standing on end in the middle of the street doesn't strike me as something I would actually have any hope of finging in real life. The giant animals and guys are fine, so I'm not really asking for more realistic items per se, but I want the towns and indoor environments to reflect a more realistic layout and composition.

heart Namco, heart Namco.

Namco doesn't seem to be a big fan of change. Their sequels tend to be just more of what was good in the first place, not that it's bad the way they do it.

They could fool me by mirroring the original and putting in a different soundtrack. Well, throw in a few more cats too.

The thing I'd want most in a sequel would be an eternal mode on every timed stage.

Holy shit, Finch is back?

You know I really tried to like this game, but it sucks. It's full of Japanese quirk, but Japanese quirk isn't enough to make a game decent, let alone good, and it isn't nearly as fantastic as everyone here seems to think it is.

[Cowutopia]

The only problem I have with the game is sometimes you get stuck in a wall or something. Why don't you like it?

[Captain Vegetable]

Because it's dumb. Plain and simple. I'm not knocking you if you like it, but I most certainly am taking a pro-active roll is knocking the game itself.

It's just dumb. The music is great, though.

Looks like more of the same. Not a bad thing, but it'd be fucking cool if you could get big enough to start picking up whole planets, star systems, galaxies, until you've cleaned out pretty much the whole universe.

Perhaps Josh should contact Namco about having their cover song put on the KD2 soundtrack...

Rad, but unlikley.

More likely that they'd just sue us.

I propose that they change the title from Katamari Damacy 2 to Corey vs. Corey Damacy 2. Thanks for that link, Dole. I can't wait to tear the wrapping of of this game WHEN it comes to the U.S.
