CTR Review

If you've already played Katamari, you get the idea of this new addition to the series. According to our testers, it's "more of the same." In the story, the King of All Cosmos bumps his head and loses his memory, so the Prince and his cousins create RoboKing to replace him. Unfortunately, RoboKing goes out of control and destroys all the stars in the Cosmos, and now the Prince and his cousins must roll their Katamari and bring color back to the world. The game features 50 playable cousins that you can equip with different accessories, 16 in-game movies and a new gameplay system allowing Katamari to suck in nearby objects under certain conditions.
