We Love Katamari Announced

Quirky action/puzzle game slated for release at the end of the year.

Namco announced today We Love Katamari for the PlayStation 2, the sequel to sleeper-hit Katamari Damacy. Slated for release "later this year" the prince will once again reprise the role of the protagonist.

"'Katamari Damacy' was the break-out hit of 2004 garnering tremendous accolades while delivering an innovative yet intuitive style of play to gamers," said Yoshi Niki, Business Unit Director at Namco Hometek Inc. "We are hard at work on the second installment of this landmark series that will deliver a new level of originality and style that will have gamers shouting, 'We Love Katamari!'"

The King of All Cosmos grew to stardom after taking all of the Prince's katamaris and replacing the stars, and has the Prince and his cousins rolling up more clumps, each larger and more different (and probably weirder) than before.

New for the series is a two-player cooperative mode, which has each player controlling part of the clump. Also, the Battle Mode makes a return, now coming in three different sizes--so you won't always have to start by rolling over erasers.
