Keita Takahashi begrudgingly worked on a sequel to the first katamari game after Namco strongarmed him into it, and even though he didn't like the idea of a katamari sequel, he made one of the best sequels ever. We Love Katamari plays just like the first but adds lots of different ideas to its levels that really help in bettering the initial gameplay loop. The regular levels are still as solid as ever, but the new levels (ie. rolling fires to light a bonfire, rolling up fireflies to make a bright light) really improve upon the first games constellation levels.

The game has fun levels, a stellar soundtrack, and a lovely vibe, as the game spends lots of time complementing the king and thanking him, and by extension the player, for rolling all these katamaris. If you played the first game, you NEED to play this one, especially since the remake just released.
