Beautiful Katamari is just one of those games that don't need a full DVD of movies and action sequences to get you hooked, as Namco Bandai's game is the true testament that a simple title can deliver just through the power of gameplay and the new released features underline just that.

For the first time, Beautiful features a high-rolling 4-player VS mode where Katamari fans from around the globe will be able to compete against each other in a "Thingy Battle." The objective of this battle mode is to roll up the most of one particular item (decided by the King of all Cosmos, of course) in order to show the King you are the best planet-creator around. The player with the most items collected at the end of the time limit will win the session and the love of the King. With five different online stages that vary in space and time, the fun and addicting online VS mode will have Katamari fans hooked.

Beautiful Katamari will also make a lot of gamers jealous as the game will include an online worldwide leaderboard for the number of presents and cousins collected in the single player game, as well as a worldwide online ranking that shows off players' individual scores for the online VS mode. Keeping in line with the quirky theme, the game also includes a planet called "Everyone's Katamari" that shows the combined size of everyone's Katamari by a cow grazing in a field.

The game also benefits from a great menu system called Princedom that allows players to roam from level to level and change options to their liking, view cut-scenes and much, much more. The levels also feature a depth level that it's unique to this type of games. In Roller Roaster, The Prince must collect all objects that are either hot or associated with heat such as pizza, coffee, or hamburgers, to get his Katamari up to 10,000 degrees Celsius. In order to obtain your hotness and win the mission, players must avoid rolling up cold objects like ice cream, soda, fire extinguishers and falling in the river! The hotter you stay, the cooler you will be in Beautiful Katamari!
