It clearly aims to include everyone and exclude no one, and that's just plain refreshing amid a holiday season stuffed full of deadly serious, high-learning-curve me-toos. [Nov 2007, p.96]

There’s a decent attempt to extend game through online multiplayer but once again Katamari’s biggest downfall is that the magic is short lived. Even with the few problems I’ve mentioned the game is still a joy to behold and a guaranteed smile in a box.

The game’s title screams of beauty, but in truth, with the single player experience not being up to spec, this is the ugly duckling of the Katamari series. It just doesn’t have that wow factor going for it like the previous entries did.

This is by far the est Karamari since " We Katamari" and a truly special ****'s everything the PS2 games had just bigger a more. Imo you only need Thos 2 games to get the best of the series.

Maybe it's just that I live in a PAL region and subsequently couldn't play the original, but I still really, really, really loved the series, at this point. The PS3 game was very disappointing, but this one took everything I loved about We love Katamari, and made it far more challenging. I personally love that, so I think this title deserves a 10/10, especially considering it was made as far back as 2007. One of the best earlier titles for the 360.

Really, there's no way you can go wrong with this purchase, especially considering it is only 39.99 for a complete package. And at 2.50 a stage, the downloadable content really isn't all that badly priced, either.

There's a reason that people fell in love with Katamari Damacy a few years ago -- it's an addicting and utterly charming experience.

Bonkers beyond belief, it's not the best in the series, but it's certainly good enough. [Apr 2008, p.74]

Without question, Beautiful Katamari is an entertaining game, especially for newcomers to the series.

Definitely an above average game, but significant longevity issues bring an otherwise great game down.

That's how it feels: brand extension, dilution rather than enrichment. [Mar 2008, p.102]

I can see that some fans will gain enjoyment, and those gamers tired of the norm, but for my tastes, the appeal of the game was lost pretty early on.

Where do I start? This game keeps you interested, just when you think the ball you are meticulously rolling has gotten huge, it only gets bigger and bigger! This game is great. With so many quirky and questionable Asian themes and songs you truly get a feel of an out of this world experience. This is a great addition to the true namco Katamari fan. The major drawback was the camera angles and the length of play. That's why this fun game only gets an 8 from me.

Totally addictive and fun as hell. I picked this up not expecting much. Actually I had no clue what to expect as I had never played a Katamari game before, only knew them by reputation. The levels are short and chaotic, but boy do they have huge replay value. I wish I could be more descriptive but I can't. This is a game that everyone should play at least once. It is strange as can be, but I'm sure that's just the culture barrier in the way (it doesn't matter, but it's there.) Overall: A very strange but highly enjoyable game that I can some up in one word: Fun!

game is still fun and co-op is a nice addiction but i think a solo mode would have been better as without local friends or internet connection it becomes unplayable literally

This game is pretty bizarre and fun. The graphics look like Nintendo wii graphics but that doesn't mean it's bad I'm just saying about the graphics. You play as a bunch of really bizarre looking characters, well you find them around the game. The story is pretty weird, but the gameplay is kinda fun.
