Those awaiting the arrival of that junk-collecting, hammer-headed Prince and his kooky dad on the PSP can rest assured that the game will make a safe transition from the PS2, controls and all. GameSpot and 1UP sat down (or stood up; how you play your PSP is your business, after all) with a demo of Me and My Katamari and both report that most everything fans liked from the home console version will carry over to the portable. Graphics, according to GS, are more or less the same, and while 1UP laments the lack of an online infrastructure mode, four-player ad-hoc mode will undoubtedly satiate gamers on the lookout for who amongst their friends can make the biggest ball of crap this side of the universe.
To make up for the lack of a second analog thumbstick, the game adopts the same control scheme as Coded Arms, which makes use of the D-pad and face buttons, thankfully minus all the awkward, negative bits that made Coded Arms such a joy to play.
