Katamari Demacy was a sleeper hit when it released on the PlayStation 2 last September. It is bizarre, but very original. To follow up with the series, Namco announced that they are developing the sequel and it won’t be called Katamari Demacy 2. Instead, We Love Katamari. Hey, another bizarre title—but I’m sure it’ll be another great game.

The sequel will continue the story that was left from the original where The King of All Cosmos grew to prominence after taking all of the Prince’s katamaris and restoring the stars. So now, The King of All Cosmos employed the Prince and his cousins to help with much larger tasks.

Gamers this time around will find themselves in a variety of new locations around Earth while keeping the same trademark graphical style and musical quality with an innovative soundtrack. A new thing that many will enjoy is the fact that gamers can also roll with a friend in the all-new two-player cooperative mode. Both players will control part of the clump and develop new strategies. Battle Mode will also be included with three size scopes for competitive rolling action.

If the game is still kept simple, I’m sure many will still enjoy it. The original released at a killer price of $19.99, maybe the sequel will be the same? It sounds like it is shaping up to be another hit title. Only time will tell.
