Despite the franchise being a firm favourite amongst the office, Beautiful Katamari contained an achievement that saw the title receive a large dose of player ire. And rightly so! Because when you boil things down, Beautiful Katamari locked and achievement tied to 100% completion behind a paywall!

While you'll be able to finish off most of the levels of this game, and indeed unlock the majority of achievements with little to no issue, the final achievement known as Astronomic Katamari, which is rewarded for rolling up a Katamari 1,500,000km wide received a lot of flak, as without downloading the extra DLC stages, it was next to impossible to unlock!

The achievement was added as part of an update outside of the DLC, leading many to think that just by 100% the rest of the stages that this final achievement would pop, but alas The King Of The Cosmos clearly needed a new boathouse and so decided to only offer levels with enough material to achieve this monstrous Katamari in DLC extra stages!

Therefore if you want to be a true rock n' roller, you're going to have to rustle up some spare change!
