Get used to it now, because you’re going to read the
Pac-Man /
Katamari comparison a lot regarding Namco Bandai’s
The Munchables for Wii. Check out this latest trailer and you’ll instantly see why. Essentially, the goal of the game is to eat everything in sight — that’s the
Pac-Man part, see — which in turn causes the main character to grow larger — and there’s the
Katamari part. Watch closely and you’ll even notice areas that require players to reach a specific size before they can be accessed, which is also similar to
Katamari. The opening cinematic also shares some of
Katamari’s distinctive eccentricity.
On a side note, we’re really digging the old-school cartoon sound effects employed by the game. They really help to offset the grisly reality that this thing is eating every living creature in its vicinity … and it’s the good guy.
