Katamari Forever (PS3)
Ever played one of these Katamari games before?
Can I pretend you have? That way I don't have to try and explain the madness of it all.
(Editor - Steve your job is to tell people what the games are about)
Hmmm, right. Well here we are back in the colourful, crazy universe of Katamari and once again you have to roll your Katamari (a ball thing) around the various landscapes sucking up cows, cars, buildings, trees, saucepans people etc into an even bigger ball to - well I'm not sure why you do it but you have to.
There is a bonkers storyline behind it all with the even more bonkers king from the other games falling into a deep coma and all the stars being sucked from the sky.
(Editor - Ok, I take your point, cut the explanation. Is it any good?)
Actually yes, it's brilliant, as were the predecessors. It is so insanely unique and playable that you have to love it, even if it is madder than a biscuit tin full of wasps.
Graphically it is stunning; the visuals are gloriously quirky and colourful as you lay siege to the wacky ÃÂenvironments with your big colourful Katamari ball.
Structure does come into the game though with a time limit in which you must get your Katamari to a certain size.
Totally and utterly bonkers and the only criticism is that it seems very samey to the others.
