| Fuzzmosis said: Meh. Olympic games = button mashers, so generally I don't care anyway. What interests me is Katamari and Dragon Blade were both on that list. The video I saw of dragon blade looked like fun combat, but bad design, and I've always enjoyed that Katamari series. So those two I have much higher hopes for than olympics. |
The article had this to say about Katamari:
THE "MAYBE IT'S TIME TO RETIRE" AWARD
Katamari series
It's hard to believe Katamari's ball-rolling action once bowled us over with innovation. From it's cool dual-analog control scheme to its gameplay that had us addicted to picking up trash, this franchise was a hit with both hardcore gamers and their girlfriends. But as the fourth entry, Beautiful Karamari, hits the 360 this fall, the rehashes -- with their dull graphics and recycled environments -- are getting old. Series creator Keita Takahashi has even jumped off this ball of confusion (his next project: Nobi Nobi Boy for the PS3); we wanna go with him.
