Sure, I often have my PS2 and a portable generator on my back, but what about the rest of the time? :) I agree--it's worth something to have a game on the device you always carry.

Seems pretty fun, but there definitely are some frame-rate hiccups. . . especially when you go from one "size" to the next, or whatever you call it when you are suddenly able to pick up larger items and there is a transition effect. Not as smooth as I'd like at those times, but for the most part plays fine. Maybe it's not as good as the PSP version, but as I don't intend to drop however many hundreds of dollars a PSP is these days plus the cost of the Katamari game for that system, plus I am always carrying my phone anyway, I might just put up the $8 for this fun title.

I could put up with the terrible, spluttering visuals if the game at least played the same. Sad thing is, it doesn't, as the interesting locations full of things to collect in other versions of Katamari have been replaced with lifeless, dull, virtually empty little rooms and corridors. It's dull in the extreme. If you want Katamari on the go, the PSP version absolutely blows this rubbish away. This is an utterly dismal version of Katamari.

This game is unlike anything else out there, on any platform. I just love it and unlike some other posters, I think the iPod version is just fine. For me, this is one of those games where the gameplay is just so much fun that I don't care if I win or lose, I just want to play it again.
