What Parents Need to Know
This review of Katamari Forever was written by Erin Bell
Parents need to know that while Katamari Forever is an action/puzzle game that is appropriate for all ages, controlling the giant sticky Katamari ball (which involves using both thumbsticks simultaneously) requires a certain amount of motor control that might be beyond the ability of very young children. The King's pessimism and neurotic behavior, while part of what makes the game so offbeat and endearing, might confuse younger players too. With two-player and cooperative modes, this is a fun game for friends and family to play together.
