The cast of characters are forgettable, and the story is hokey, but you'll be happy to play the puzzle game and grind your character through the levels indefinitely. [Aug 2009, p.77]

For a full-price title there's lots of reused material here, but the bottom line is this is the definitive Katamari on PlayStation. [Nov 2009, p.85]

There's even bullet time. We kid you not. [Jan 2007, p.84]

There's a solid season mode, but "NHL 09" offers all this and more. [Dec 2008, p.87]

Trimmed down, but still excellent - the gameplay experience is intact, even if the character roster isn't. [Jan 2007, p.80]

Mixes superb visuals, a solid fighting system and some heart breaking drama. [Jan 2008, p.78]

Pure, brilliant fan service - and if you've never sampled the delights of Naruto, this game might even get you into it. A must for fans. [Mar 2007, p.78]

Its simplicity is the key. [May 2011, p.92]
