Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Calling it "We Katamari" is like calling FF4 "FF2".

Not that it's wrong, but it is pretty much the same thing...

I'm only an hour in and so far it's pretty fun, although it would be much better with two players. Keeping four characters alive by yourself can be somewhat of a pain, especially when using relatively frail ranged characters whom the computer loves to rush into the fray after they've depleted their energy instead of standing back and waiting for it to regenerate.

Luckily they didn't dub the voices in the German version, the subtitles and in-game text they did translate are, as with most PS2 games, pretty terrible.

Fairly random.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

More like, barely at all.

There aren't two games in two different countries called We Katamari OR Everybody Loves Katamari. And if you are so picky about it, why don't you complain about the Dragon Quest games being called Dragon Warrior here, or how Castlevania should be called Akumajo Dracula?

Americanization in titles happens. Calling the fourth game in a series the second game was a mistake.

I guess it seems weird to me because I can actually read the case that says Everyone "Really Likes" Katamari.

That was during the heyday of crazed Japanese genres with bizarre characters with weird-ass weapons and powers that didn't make sense.

It was pretty fun, though.
