About Beautiful Katamari
In Beautiful Katamari, take the Prince for a spin in astounding 720p next-gen graphics, that stay true to the quirky yet captivating art direction the series is known for, but glistening with a new coat of paint in high-definition, as the Prince is tasked to roll up bizarre objects in brand new environments. To keep his son inspired, the King of All Cosmos will provide another fresh and memorable soundtrack, that will have players moving and grooving to the beat as they roll through the absurd, yet wonderful world of Beautiful Katamari.
One is a lonely number, but thankfully the Prince can humbly ask the aid of one of his 50 cousins to get the ball rolling through his quest. The cousins have discovered new games to play since last time out, and love to compete with up to three of their friends in VS and co-op modes offline and online over XboxLIVE®. The Prince and his cousins' online adventure doesn't end there as super cool future downloadable content will continue to expand on the amazing world of Beautiful Katamari, long after the game has launched.
