I downloaded this demo from live last night. Its very short (only 3 minutes to pick up things) but does look like fun. The graphics are quite bold and simplistic but I guess that' s not the main thing. I can' t see this being a big seller, but should prove to be an interesting diversion from all the other stuff out soon.

I think it would' ve been perfect for XBLA. Hopefully it' s not released as a $60 game...I just can' t imagine spending that much for that type of game regardless of how enjoyable it is.

Katamari is a game that should never have had a sequel. The first game was great, but the formula just doesn' t lend itself to sequels. I couldn' t even finish the demo because I was so bored.

I don' t think its worth a full-price release either - might be worth picking up when it hits the bargain bins, which is unfortunate in a way the 360 needs things like this to be successful to widen its appeal.

I think I want to buy it, as I missed the first game. I' m thinking 35$ is a good price to pay for the game.

Yeah sure it looks like the same game as the first two with there nonsensical storyline and there silly worlds, but who didn' t like the first two(I' m sure someone didn' t). They were fun and so if it is cheap enough I believe it will sell.

You were so bored you couldn' t finish a three minute demo? Do you ever find yourself crankily slapping at your own heart, snarling " QUIT IT!" And then sighing with petulant exasperation as it continues to beat... so predictably.

I thought it was pretty cool, the concept at least. But I didn' t care much for the controls. I think they should be simpler for a game like that.
