I was a die hard fan of Katamari Damacy 1 & 2, I finished both episodes with passion. Can't wait for this one. Maybe I'll buy the Katamari Damacy psp episode one day too.

I'd think about it. 1 and 2 were great, but neither on PSP nor 360 did they catch the original fun. While Katamari 2 had many different levels, various challenges, much of its silly story (wonderful!) and so on, the PSP thing basically made you do the same thing over and over again without much in terms of variety. It was OK, like for an hour or two, but hardly enough to satisfy my lack of Katamari-fuel at the time. And as for Noby Noby Boy, I really don't know what to make of it... yet. I'm certain it's gonna be fun, sort of. But in the long run...?

Well I've got it now... and it's bizarre, far stranger to actually 'play' than to watch :dizzy
I think that the point of the game is to learn how to use the camera controls...

How did you manage not to fall asleep? I tried. I loved Katamari. I think this one is tech-demo kind of nonsense. Controls are weird at best, there is no real goal, no challenge, and worst of all: little fun in making THIS particular thing bigger. Pitty, really.

Yeah, I've played with it for a couple of hours and my interest is definitely waning. But I've sorted out the camera!

yeah i dont quite get the high reviews either i mean a 9 seems extremely high. i hav to say i hav enjoyed it tho but i think the randomly generated levels are not that different from each other to keep me returning to this game, having said that i still wanna no what happens wen girl meets the moon.

This game is absolutely insane :g I remember when I was a child, about say, six or seven years old. I'd drag my mother through toy stores and nag her to get toys that cost so much more than Noby Noby Boy did, and they weren't even close to as fun as this was!
And that's what I think this game is. It's nothing but a toy, a cheap diversion to just play around in. It's not a game per se, but just... a do-nothing thing to spend time in. And what a marvellous do-nothing it is! Bright colors, fun design, excellent physics. I spent maybe half an hour just tying BOY around the donut clouds, and making them sink to the ground!
Last time I had such strange make-believe fun was when I was a little kid, for sure.

I think that for the price (35 SEK for me!), a nine out of ten rating is well deserved. I sure love this nutty little toy :)
