Me & My Katamari? Well, I love Katamari but I'm not sure if I want to marry one...

The third original entry in the Katamari franchise, not only was it not made by its original creator like any following entries after this one it's just a bit mediocre as a third Katamari game. To its credit, it's a PSP game so it's fine if it's not as mindblowing as the previous two which were home consoles release, my issue with it is that all stages feel the exact same and feel way too repetitive like near the end of the game, hell even halfway through the main missions you just play the same maps over and over in the same order with the same size goal every time!
This entry is more like a sequel to Katamari Damacy as it does the same thing where all main missions are just about the size and not quirky gimmicks. I actually did not know until the very end of the game that there were some side missions as they are on another island in the hub so I thought the game only had these main missions. (Anyway they aren't anything to write home about either)

The worst part of the game would be the controls as this is a PSP game and if you already played a Katamari game before you know that it uses dual sticks to do actions, and if there's a single thing that you should know about the PSP it's that it only has one stick. Playing with the face button sucks.

This game also only has one original stage song that I was aware of and it's Katamari on the Funk which is just the unique opening theme of the game used in the intro video and the last stage.

Should you bother with this game? Not really it's just not fun to play with the bad controls and bad camera, you'll get more out of replaying Katamari Damacy.
