The intro was all very annoying. "katamari is the best game ever! Everybody loves katamari! katamari has fans all around the world! Oh, but you've not been able to join in cos you're english haha". Made me not want to bother playing, right from the outset.
The manual is gorgeous. When the bear and the fox have a fight! Ace.

I know, it's daft that it pissed me off, but...yeah, us europeans are used to waiting for stuff, and we understand the extra localistion time (translating to five languages or whatever it is) and everything, but for the last few years most things have got here within 4 or 5 months at worst, and lots of things have come out very soon after or even at the same time as they've been released elsewhere. And mostly it doesn't affect me anyway cos I've got a Japanese DS and an American cube, so the PS2 is the only machine I can't play imports on. But yeah, namco have been really quite shit this time round. For a game as big as katamari to not hit the UK in ANY form at all until 2 years after its original japanese release is bloody awful. And I don't even mind playing it late, it's not a big deal, it's the same game whenever I play it, doesn't matter...but then the intro was all about how great and successful the first game (which never got released here at all) was, and I dunno, it just felt...a bit insensitive.
But, heh, in trying to explain why it bugged me I've probably managed to sound much more upset about it than I actually am. :)
Much further into the game now, and liking it a lot more. It's still a bit flawed I think, and definitely isn't the best game I've ever played (in fact I'm probably enjoying AOE3 more, right now), but yes, it's lots of fun. Old lady level is tricky.

It isn't that big. Electronic Arts keeps the good shit down. Fight the real enemy.

When I got up to my first c2000m katamari and was mopping up islands and countries and gods, I was thinking "man, this must be how Oppenheimer felt".

But it's not the same game, you're playing the sequel.

I doubt it. I mean, have you seen the opening credits? The dude just likes pandas.

on the collection page it says I have 33% (1 object) of the Royals, obviously being the Prince, and I almost had the King, but where can I find Queen?
I cant find the 3rd cousin in the grannie's level. Thats the last cousin I need before i can get the roses level, could someone clue me in on where i can find him/her.

the queen is also on the elephant/bird level. she only shows up if you've already rolled up the king.
― inert false cat (sleep), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:42 (eighteen years ago) link
not true; she only shows up above a certain size... which will occur if you roll up the king

Had to go to 4 fucking stores to find it, before just going to the local Fred Meyer. Not a single one had a copy of WLK either.
