Katamari Mobile reviewed on Ovi Gaming

Published by Tzer2 at 14:08 UTC, June 8th 2009

Another Ovi Store game, this time surreal gather-em-up Java title Katamari Mobile has been reviewed by Ovi Gaming, and wins a Recommended award (the review also includes a 10 minute gameplay video of it running on the 5800 and lots of screenshots too). The mobile version of Katamari is perfect for anyone longing for a return to the simpler days of abstract arcade gameplay, and it also provides a nice slice of unhinged Japanese humour.

Like its console cousins, Katamari Mobile is a game featuring a ball called a "Katamari" which you roll around a landscape, with items on the ground that are smaller than the ball sticking to it. As the Katamari gathers objects it grows, and ever-larger items will stick to it until the Katamari is absolutely huge and seems to gather anything in its path including dogs, cats, wardrobes, television sets etc. (click here to read the full review...)

Looks nice, have the PS2 version which is a ton of fun :) I especially like the piano version of the theme song at the main menu! :D

It is a fun game on all platforms, and such a good idea too. I'm amazed no one had thought of this idea before.

I wish they'd bring out a version of Katamari for the Wii, it would be perfect for the Wii controller...

Yo guys, does anyone in the UK see this to download? Its not in my Ovi store app (N95 8gig) and its not on the Ovi website either :( Just get an error page "Sorry, this item is no longer available."

Joda Cast, which country are you in? (EDIT: oops you said UK, didn't you?)

I'm in Finland and can see Katamari in Ovi Store right now, here's what it looks like for me:

I think Nokia have been having server problems to do with their site cache, it seems some games are disappearing for some people. There are some titles which I can't get to appear either, but Katamari definitely appears for me.
