Back when Beautiful Katamari was announced there was all kinds of confusion over whether the game would make it onto the PlayStation 3. That never materialised, but now PS3 owners get a Katamari game to call their very own – Katamari Forever!

Mashing up old levels and brand new content, Katamari Forever returns to the kind of action fans of the series know and love – rolling things up. Sound a bit barmy? Well, it is. Think of it as a bizarre fusion of puzzle solving, J-pop and kooky animation. Players steer a Katamari (ball of stuff) around the level. As they go, they'll acquire more stuff, and the more stuff they have in their Katamari, the bigger the objects they'll be able to pick up! It's all about getting your ball big enough in the time you're allowed - which is far from being as easy as it sounds!

There's a point to all this – a terrible accident has occurred to remove the stars from the sky, putting the King of All Cosmos into a coma in the process. The remixed stages from previous games take place inside the King's sleeping brain, while the Prince must grapple with the new levels to replace the stars in the sky.

If you like to roll with friends, Katamari Forever features offline multiplayer, as well as online leaderboards.

It's time to roll HD style! << less
