DESCRIPTION
Namco's surreal ball-rolling, junk-collecting series tumbles its way onto Xbox 360 with Beautiful Katamari. For its next-gen debut, Beautiful Katamari offers new levels and objectives to compete, a remixed soundtrack from classic J-Pop artists, and online support for up to four players. Once again the T-shaped character known as the Prince must roll objects into a sticky ball called a "katamari." The Prince will scoop up things great and small, from matchsticks to skyscrapers, while trying to complete such time-sensitive objectives as collecting specific item types or having the katamari reach a certain size. Multiplayer games include both cooperative and versus options, with the latter a race to see who can collect the most objects in the quickest time. The co-op mode involves working together to control the same katamari throughout 19 levels. Located within each vibrant stage are hidden presents to customize the princely protagonist, including the ability to unlock more than 50 of his kooky cousins. Xbox Live subscribers can not only compete against one another, but also view multiple leaderboards, track personal stats, and download additional Katamari content. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Hey! Let's roll up that cookie. And that dog. And that fat lady riding a bicycle. And that...building. Katamari is fun, colorful, if not kinda irritating. i suck at timed missions, and the fact that you can't just roll over stuff and it auto-sticks, but you have to gradually build up the katamari until its big enough to roll up the bigger things makes it difficult.
I honestly would have more fun if I could just roll around all day without a time limit, but that's just me.”

“My college roommate owned Katamari Damacy for the PS2, and one night after a particularly good night of drinking, I put it into the console and started rolling away. I was instantly hooked (it was even still fun in the morning when I'd sobered up). Beautiful Katamari, the XBOX 360 installment of this series, is pretty much that game. I find it less addicting than the original, but it still makes for a decent waste of time.”

“Nulla di nuovo per chi ha giocato Katamari Damacy ma resta comunque uno dei giochi più assurdi mai creati. Spero vivamente in un sequel. Voto basso solo perchè questa versione non aggiunge niente di nuovo ma in se è un ottimo gioco. Voto: 6/10”

“A fun little game. It does take some getting used to with the controls as I had never played a previous Katamari. My family absolutely loves the game, even my mom was throwing down and picking up. Highly recommended for the obsessed gamers out there.”
