Me and My Katamari

The Katamari crew is back and this time they're on vacation!

The Katamari crew is back and this time they're on vacation! This latest installment of the quirky and hugely popular standout series finds the cosmic royal family on retreat in the tropics when the Prince is tasked, yet again, to create Katamari balls. The Prince, however, is not out to recreate the heavens this time; he's out to create islands in the sea for homeless animals. Now that's classically weird.

Me and My Katamari is the first Katamari title to appear on a system other than the PlayStation 2, and offers the same Katamari styled gameplay with a few minor control layout tweaks. The control scheme features a digital control layout, which offers a different feel than the previous PS2 titles. Because the PSP doesn't have duel analog sticks, the D-pad is used to move your Katamari Ball around, which may give Katamari fans some trouble adjusting to the slower controls.

Additionally, this release has a few features unique to the PSP version. In addition to the previous Katamari roster of royalty, you can play as an exclusive cousin character. Moreover, you have the option to customize characters with apparel and items, explore new tropical environments and locations, and compete with three other players in a battle mode via the PSP's Ad Hoc gameplay function. It's super early in development, but Me and My Katamari already looks like it's going to reach a whole new level of quirky weirdness this year.
