The unique approach taken to the art design and game premise for Beautiful Katamari is equally fascinating and entertaining. There’s a real sense that an enormous amount of effort went in to creating this weirdly attractive and colourful world, as well as making the game as accessible and appealing as possible.

Unfortunately, that effort has always been properly targeted and there is some scar tissue that mars the brilliance of Beautiful Katamari. Multiplayer and co-op especially are a little lack lustre and, while multiplayer suffers mainly from a lack of imagination, co-op gaming is just an exercise in frustration. Two people controlling one ball just doesn’t work.
