I really love this game. It is unique and the replayability is limitless. The controls are fantastic too so older and younger players will both be able to play.

It is a unique game but I was hoping for something a little more simple. 'Goo' for Wii (a free one chapter sample is available online) is more my speed, that one is a one button control system. 'Katimari' requires more dexterity than I have, it requires that both of the sticks on the controller to be worked simultaneously. It seems fascinating but I can not get off the simplest level.
I will keep the game because some of my kids might like it when they come to hang out with their old dad.

This game was recommended to me by several employees in Gamestop. I bought it because I normally like quirky and off-the-wall, cute games and this looked certainly like a match.
Wrong. Very. It is painfully, mind-numbingly boring. As repetitious as Tetris and with script as poorly written and frustrating to get through as, well, something like Zero Wing comes to mind, you'll wish it ended as soon as it begun. I'm not sure how long they really thought rolling around a ball would be entertaining, but it lasted about 20 minutes before I found myself wondering, "Is this all it has to offer?". Giving it a good while longer I found, yes, yes it was. Luckily I was within my 7 day return period and got a small fraction of my time, in the form of cash, back. "They" say in the description the cutoff age range of 20. I'm almost 21, so maybe it's really the DAY you turn 20 you realize this game is for the entertainment of 6 year olds trying to master their hand/eye coordination.
We bought this game to play with the children. The adults love it, too.
You roll all sorts of stuff into katamaris, aiming for maximum diameter and sometimes alternatively for particular items. Intertia, gravity, and obstacles make this more difficult than it sounds.
The music may drive you nuts when you first hear it. Once you get used to it, it actually fits pretty well.
Definitely recommended for all ages.

I seriously love this game. It's not like any I've ever played before. Once you get a hold of the steering, you are out in the world rolling up everything.... and its a blast! The music, the challenging levels, the crazy things you can roll up- it all adds up to be a very addicting game and loads of fun. Make lots of time to sit and play- once you get going you will not want to stop! This one is totally cool for kids of all ages!
I purchased Katamari after reading several Rave Reviews...and me a 40yr old stay at home mom...getting tired of just watching my 5yr old play Race Car games...Well let me tell you Katamari is ALL THEY SAID it would be!! its very simple to learn and quite the challenge!! BIGGER IS BETTER!!..trust me...this game if Fun! More than fun its Addicting! I've stayed up way past my kids going to sleep and played! All you need to know is just GET Yourself a Copy!! and eagerly await its arrival!
