User Rating: 8.5 | Beautiful Katamari X360
Beautiful Katamari is a nice little addition to the Katamari series with some familiar venues and characters and doable achievements. That said, one cannot complete all of the achievements, or the game for that matter, without paying for additional downloadable content - content, I may add, that has expanded even since its original appearance on XBOX Live. Though I, as a huge fan of the series, contributed to the problem by downloading the content I have to say that having paid $40 for a game that is essentially incomplete is a crock of crap and that the people responsible for such things - and XBOX Live in general as they make buying and using points a pain in the a** - need to stop bleeding the masses and do things reasonably, however that may be.
Apart from the downloadable content arguments, Beautiful Katamari is just as colorful and fun as its predecessors and has the biggest katamaris yet. It is a worthwhile buy for fans of the series - perhaps best as a bargain buy Used at Gamestop or something - with or without the downloadable content and despite its short playthrough, typical of the Katamari games.
