The Japanese cover isn't even artwork. It's just a photo of Namco employees standing outside the Namco building holding up signs that say "We Love Katamari" in Japanese. The US boxart is at least done in a similar style to the first game. -hl718
Oh, dear... n00b calling in caps. I, for one, like JTI2K being here, so "no one" is not precisely a good term to use. Workshop, I expected more of you, this isn't GameFaqs. It matters to me if and why this discussion makes you angry because... well, it's interesting to hear differing points of view. Who knows, you may have a solution to the problem of ugly boxart coming from the west, and sometimes the East. And writing in ALL CAPS in the Internet does constitute yelling and it's rude. Now, back to Katamari Boxart - I really, really liked the boxart from the first game. It almost made the game look like an indy rock album, or something chic. This one... tries to be simplistic and fails. It doesn't have the right colour balance... or composition. Has anyone played the actual game (JP version), or is it not out yet? Is it as good as the original? I sort of suspect gigantic expectations not being met.
Hahahahhahahaha! No but seriously, why does that Katamari game have such a huge following? Is it even any good or is it just a bunch of hype and crap.
Aaaaah JMFC:smt043:smt043:smt043 this is hillarious :smt043:smt043:smt043 Heck come on people, either one of the moderators remove this thread, or just the stupid reply´s since i think this thread, has become very funny , in a tragic way. And this is really humourous :smt043
That silly tradition never made any sense at all to me, I'D TYPE ALL IN CAPS JUST TO PISS OFF ANYONE WHO THINKS SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS. BLAH!!!! BWAHH!!! Did you just say that? The Japanese cover is the best video game box art I've ever seen. I'm not a person who gives half a shit about cover art, but that photo on the Japanese We ♥ Katamari box is brilliant. I'd buy a poster of that shit if I had a wall to put it on and I've never even played this Katamari game. I don't think the US boxart is so bad, either. It's supposed to be lo-fi. That's precisely the idea. Jeez. "whoosh" on you guys. ...word is bondage...
It's not THAT bad. I myself don't like it because of many aforementioned reasons. I think it's mainly the colour that seems unattractive to me. I've seen worse. The JP version is not as good as the first one either... but this one is still a small step down. Anyway... Please, someone who has played the japanese version of this (if it's already out), tell us if it's a huge letdown or if it rocks like the first one. The soundtrack has to be as cool as the first one. Or I'll be very sad.
