(Though I'm worried that there are spots on there saved for DLC).

I think if there is DLC it will be on another part all together as mine is totally full and I beat it tonight. Great game now time to replay it in the other modes.

I have been playing it since Friday, and there are 30 or so levels total. Much much bigger than BK.

I beat it and have been slowly working my way through modessince then. I've noticed the increase in difficulty also, although I have had several 120s on first tries, so it seems to fluctuate pretty dramatically.

Hardest mode on most levels for me seems to be regular with jump etc enabled, drive mode and classic are much easier in comparison.

84% collection so far, I will probably take a lot longer as I won't be doing 8+ hour days like I did with BK.

^^^I could see a Daft punk vs. Katamari remix in DJ Hero. And I would gladly welcome it and pay for it.

I think that's YMCK though.

I played the Demo for this game and was completely underwhelmed. I don't really know what I was expecting, though. I played through the first PS2 title and enjoyed it, but it was never something I went back to.

Hmmm... 30 levels doesn't seem like it would come close to filling up the spirals based on what I've seen. Does it only fill up the fronts of them? I mean, I've unlocked all 5 jumbomen movies and all but 1 of the king ones and I'm not nearly full yet. I'd say there's room for at least 30 in EACH section (king and robo-king).

Also, how do you get to the other modes - have to complete it first?

As for the 120s, meh - I have only been able to get a couple of 100's. I am getting so many horrible scores (20s, 30s) that really weren't even possible in the other games. I didn't realize you could disable jump (and I assume the "sucking" powerups too?). I figured they made the score levels much higher because of those two things and I haven't figured out how to maximize them yet.

I also don't think I'll ever be able to get 50,000 or whatever on the rock minigame (when you fail). I can get to about 20K. It would suck if that was the only thing to keep me from getting a platinum trophy .

yea just the fronts. You have to beat the game then you get a new mode then you beat that one and you get the other 2 (or atleast I did on the first level)

the rock mini-game is a pain in the ass, my best score so far has been somewhere around 28k, I usually completely screw up at the start then last a while small but eventually foul up again.

And talk about low scores, the level I got an 8 on made me ashamed.

Anyone else seem to notice with this new jumping mechanic, that rolling up and over big structures is a LOT harder? I have noticed even small steps in front of me stop me a lot. I wish jumping was pressure sensitive or something, because 95% of the time I don't feel like launching half way into the sky only to miss and then bounce 8 times before i can 180.

Impulse buy is GO!

Have fun Scorch - I've been playing it all weekend.

So, about that punishment mini-game - my son beat it while I was out of town. He's 6 years old and in first grade. He got like 65K on it and can't really explain how he did it. Best I can do is about 30K . I haven't really tried that much though.

I'm making my way through the eternal/classic modes now. It seems pretty random how you unlock both of those modes. Are there all 4 for every level (except the tutorial of course)? Because it seems like I have some damn good scores on a couple of levels in both "Forever" and "Drive" mode and yet don't have anything else unlocked.

I can't stop listening to the soundtrack for this game. I love all the Katamari music and having listened to all of them over the years, the rearrangements and remixes that are in this game are the most amazing fan service ever. Add the music in with the new graphic filters and even some new stuff in the game, and it's a classic for me. Very happy with the game!

God i loved katamari on the ps2. the first time i played it i was like lolwut but its just so fun! i think im just gonna go for this one. $35 on amazon is pretty decent for a brand new title.

For the punishment mini-game, it just takes a bit of trial and error. The direction that the rocks are shot are somewhat random, so you may get lucky sometimes and have them mostly be shot to one side. I spent probably about 15 minutes on it last night and was eventually able to get a score of 60k~.

I'm not exactly sure what unlocks eternal mode. I know I've 120'd a couple of levels and it still hasn't shown up yet I've gotten 60-80 on others and unlocked it. Maybe it's random?

Just completed all of the Katamari Forever modes last night with 86% items in my collection. I still need to go back and get 80% prizes/cousins, but I figure I can do that while running through Katamari Drive mode.

Does anyone happen to have a bigger shot of the katamari home items?
