KATAMARI FOREVER
NOW AVAILABLE
FOR THE PLAYSTATION 3
Roll Around the Cosmos in
the Highly Anticipated Katamari Sequel
Leading video games publisher and developer
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that Katamari Forever™
is now available for the
PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
Katamari Forever
boasts the largest collection of stages, modes, songs, and cousins to date.
Remixed classic Katamari Damacy tunes, a brand-new storyline,
multiple new visual effects and 1080p graphics come together to make this
the ultimate Katamari experience yet.
An unfortunate accident has left the King
of All Cosmos unconscious. Panicked, the Prince and his cousins quickly
construct RoboKing to temporarily replace the King of All Cosmos as he
recovers. However, as soon as he is turned on, RoboKing goes haywire,
knocking all the stars and planets out of the sky. It is now the Prince’s
duty to bring the King of All Cosmos back to health, and help RoboKing
return all the missing celestial bodies back into the sky.
The sequel to the immensely popular
Katamari series, Katamari Forever tasks players to roll up
as many everyday objects as possible within a time limit set by the Prince’s
father, the King of All Cosmos. As more objects are rolled up, your
katamari becomes bigger, allowing you to pick up even larger items. Thumb
tacks, sushi, cats, people, houses, sky scrapers and ocean liners – nothing
is out of bounds as the Prince rolls his way through the most expansive
Katamari game to date. In addition to all the rolling around, the
Prince has been practicing his royal jumping abilities. Using the PS3’s
SixAxis controls, the Prince is now able to hop over large objects that
stand in his way. The new Prince Hop opens up the world of Katamari
in ways never seen before.
Katamari Forever
features a brand new art style along with multiple unlockable graphic
filters to bring out even more variety than ever before. The new changeable
graphic filters give Katamari Forever a certain “je ne sais
quoi” that all Katamari games possess. Wood Tone transforms
everything in the world into carved out wooden blocks while Comic Book
paints the screen with deep, rich colors. Players looking to take a trip
down memory lane can switch to Classic and re-create the series trademark
visual style in glorious 1080p.
Katamari Forever
also includes fun and frantic cooperative and competitive multiplayer
modes. Choose your favorite cousin and play together or compete in heated
Katamari competition. Who will become the Katamari champion
in your house?
Katamari Forever
is rated “E” for everyone by the
ESRB and carries a MSRP of $49.99.
