Some details about the new Katamari Damacy game, “We Love Katamari” came out yesterday and I’ve got some of that info for you here. First and foremost, it’s back! The small Japanese crazy gaming fans have won a great battle over the conglomerates of America. Also, it’s fun. For those of you who haven’t played the original (Go buy it now! It’s only 20 bucks!) you were the Prince and your father, the King of all Cosmos, destroyed all the stars. It was your job, to roll things up in your Katamari and replace the stars. In We Love Katamari, we find out that we only replaced the stars around Earth, and all the other stars in the solar system are still missing. So back we go to collect more things!

Since the events of Katamari 1, the Prince and the King have become giant celebrities, and you no longer get your mission info from the King. You now get them from you’re adoring fans. And we now have new environments like underwater, in the snow, and at a school, just to name a few. Probably the most interesting thing about Katamari 2 is that it will have Co-op play for every level. However, it’s not split screen, you both control the same Katamari. This, of course, means that the Prince’s cousins will be back, but unlike last time where they were only usable in multiplayer, you can choose to play the normal game as any of the cousins! (go naked guy!) Anyway, there’s still a lot more to find out, but it’s looking like We Love Katamari is shaping up to be just as good, if not better, than the original. We’ll just have to see for ourselves later this year.
