Giving it the half star for having such an awesome final level and solid soundtrack throughout the entire game. Besides that, Beautiful Katamari is incredibly short and frustrating.
Almost all the beginning levels are annoying themes(collect “x” type of object) and the time limits are very short. Compared to the first Katamari you really have to “try” a lot more as opposed to simply enjoy the experience. I play Katamari to relax and have mindless fun. On the other hand, if you feel that Katamari is too easy, this may be worth a try.
I wish I played this game in its heyday so I could experience the online multiplayer, it seems like a fun concept.

It's definitely more katamari which means it's a fun time. It is rather short and simple though and the level where you have to heat up the katamari and avoid anything cold is a huge pain in the butt. Notable positive aspects include the idolmaster song and getting to roll up a billion xbox 360 controllers and consoles because lmao it's an xbox game.
This was one of my first Xbox 360 games, but a frustrating temperature-based level made me put it down for 16 years. “Maybe it won’t be as bad now that I’ve beaten the first two games and I'm better at Katamari,” I thought. Nope! Still an absolutely dogshit level. But also, turns out the whole game is only like two hours long if you don’t care about high scores and optional content lmao. It’s still Katamari, so it’s still fun - the final level in particular, which seamlessly takes you from ground level all the way to space, feels like a logical endpoint for the series - but beyond that this was clearly a series suffering from the departure of its creator. It just doesn’t have the same soul.
