Framerate throughout has been greatly improved, with the only brief hiccups coming when you level up to the next size of Katamari—all else is smooth. And in addition, even though I still stand by my preference of ILK’s tilt controls over Monkey Ball’s, a new gauge has been added to let you know where you are in the accelerometer’s X-Y tilt axes, which helps a lot. Still, I wish there was a way to re-zero your acceleromter so you don’t have to tilt forward so much to roll at full speed, but even without that, Katamari is infinitely more playable now.
