Really really good despite Keita Takahashi no longer being involved with the series at this point. Robo-King is hilarious, he could give Marvin from Hitchiker's guide a run for his money in depression. The variety of levels is huge (though most of them are recycled from old games, Beautiful Katamari was exclusive to Xbox 360 so anyone that only had a PS3 would have been experiencing those levels for the first time here) and the new, bright graphical style works well. Was a pretty good finale for the Katamari series on consoles, but I do hope to see a new one one day, with or without Takahashi.

Ahh, to be a grimp, flinging myself around, filling seeds with pollen, collecting spectra in that colorful world...
Always had a soft spot for this game and in the past couple years I 100%ed the Encore version on PC, 12 years after I first played it in 2008. Both of those playthroughs are logged (well the dates I got achievements/trophies), the original playthrough is the earliest thing in my journal! It was a big surprise to hear that it was getting a sequel and I'd like to play that one day.

Buzz is such a great character, I think he implies at one point in this game that he doesn't have a heart? This was one of the first games I ever played with my parents.

An incredibly unique game the likes of which will probably never be seen, or played by nearly anyone, again. The experience itself is not always - perhaps even not often - fun, but there is a clear passion and love of making games here from one of my favorite creators, Keita Takahashi. The letter that was unlocked once players - with the help of the devs boosting their numbers - had collectively finished the game is very touching.
