At the core, this game is still great because it's a Katamari game, and every Katamari is very fun and addicting. This one just falls a bit short due to its obvious limitations of being a PSP game. That being said, it is a smaller-scale game that is charming and works well on this console. The controls work fine, it's about as good as they could get trying to replicate dual analog on a PSP.

The main issue I really have with this game is it doesn't do anything new, and it gets a little repetitive. It has the same level probably over 5 times in a row of going from 20cm to 1.5m to 70m. You're going to do that in the same 3 areas many times. Also there's basically no new soundtracks besides "Katamari on the funk" (great song btw) which is too bad, even though all the PS2 Katamari music is great. Anyway, besides that issue it's still Katamri at the end of the day, meaning it's fun and weird and addictive.

Also I want more of that 8-bit Katamari from the credits...
