- The levels are saddled with time limits that prevent you from grabbing it all, but you can eventually unlock a limit-free mode, as well as another mode that makes your katamari roll super quickly. It's not a huge departure for the series or anything like that, but if you're open to the idea of a new game in the Katamari franchise, you'll find that Katamari Forever fills the void quite well.
Jeff Gerstmann · Oct 02, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If you're eager to revisit your fond memories of katamaris past, you'll find that rolling a huge clump of stuff is still as irresistible as ever. And if you're new to this whole katamari thing, Katamari Forever conveniently features the best content you've missed from the earlier games. But this is all very well-covered territory. For its next outing, the katamari had better blaze a new trail or two.
Carolyn Petit · Sep 29, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If you are satisfied with having your old Katamari get a new coat of paint, this gets the job done in a big way. But if the visual appearance isn't of a high priority for you, all that's left to weigh are a couple of new moves, a few new levels, another wacky story and a mode where you roll really fast. The amount of new material is not great, but what's here is interesting.
Conrad Zimmerman · Sep 28, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - The absurdity of the story and presentation has been ratcheted up yet again, but at this point I’m not sure I’m still getting the joke. Katamari Forever serves as a fine introduction to the concept for those who have yet to push the ball, but former Katamari addicts may find they’ve rolled down this road before.
Matt Miller · Sep 28, 2009 Reviewed on PS3 - My review here was mostly negative, largely because there's still many problems in terms of general mechanics that still haven't been ironed out. However, it's still the same old Katamari overall, which is a good thing if you've never played it (or it's been a while), but also bad if you've played every release before it. The bottom line is that Katamari Forever is fun, but we've seen it before.
Chris Roper · Sep 23, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If you like to have fun and disconnect from real-life stuff, what better way than to play this groovy, off-the-wall video game that lets you sweep away whatever's in your path? Needless to say, if you've never been able to understand this series or simply get bored with it (sorry!), I can't give you a single reason why you should even come close to the game, as it retains the same gameplay style we've come to love.
Maria Montoro · Sep 18, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - 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!
Simon Parkin · Sep 17, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Por ser una recopilación de niveles de diferentes juegos sufre una importante carencia de cohesión que mina su mensaje, pero se compensa sobradamente ofreciendo lo que cualquier otro Katamari: entretenimiento surrealista que dura, como el título insinúa, para siempre, rodando hasta que el Sol sea apenas una china en el zapato. No hay mejor forma de guardar un gran recuerdo de la obra de Takahashi.
Jaime San Simón · Sep 24, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Davantage remake que nouveau jeu, Katamari Forever reste cependant tout aussi réussi que ses prédécesseurs. Beau et immensément rafraîchissant, le titre de Bandai Namco a tout ce qu'il faut pour séduire les joueurs désireux de se détendre. Cela dit, on recommandera tout de même ce volet aux néophytes absolus, puisqu'une bonne partie de son contenu est déjà connue des fans.
Hiro · Sep 30, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - A atenção dada aos temas musicais é já uma marca em Katamari. Aquelas sonoridades produzidas a oriente, cantadas em japonês, perpetuam-se e ainda há um entusiasmo pela forma como alguns clássicos voltam a passar naqueles momentos de tremendo consumo. A colocação das leaderboards não apaga o desgosto da ausência de um modo on-line que daria mais alento no confronto com outros jogadores.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The first entry in the joyous roll-em-up series for PlayStation 3, Katamari Forever retains the basic Katamari Damacy formula but ups the scale of everything. You'll find items in far greater numbers sitting around waiting to be picked up and added to your growing katamari clump. The game features over 30 stage goals -- the highest number in series history. All of this is presented in full 1080p visual quality. In addition, the visual design has changed. Or, rather, it can be changed. You can now choose your own visual style, selecting from a variety of styles like "comic touch," "new touch," and "wood touch."
Developer: Bandai Namco Studios
