Just played the game for the first time last night with my girlfriend and her friends. We had a small party, some pizza, snacks and the game. Beautiful Katamari is a great game for people who love enjoying a leisurely but challenging game with a funky little attitude and a unique art style.
The premise of the game makes it easily approachable to most player levels, but what I found it interesting is that it's also a very challenging game at the later levels, which you wouldn't think from playing it briefly.
We loved the background music in the game, which ranges form Brazilian jazz, to classical, to Japanese pop. It blends perfectly with the colorfully simple art style and makes the time playing the game seem fun and lighthearted. Very refreshing game to play when you just need to get away from the typical genres and the been there, done that gameplay.
And although it may seem like it might be a game for children only, adults can also find a lot of appeal in playing a game of this style when you just want to relax and roll your troubles away. It's like therapy on your Xbox 360!
We really enjoyed the overall experience this game provides, from the co-op mode, the fun of seeing everyones Katamaris stats from around the world and the archive that lets you see everything you've collected along the way. This game is great addition to the Xbox 360 library and I'm glad they brought this game to the Xbox 360 and the United States for us to enjoy.
Roll on Katamari!!!
