Got this game earlier today from Play-Asia and had a short spin. So far, it controls much better than its PSP-counterpart, largely because of the 2nd analogue stick. However, there is no double-click on the sticks to do a 180?-turn as the sticks on the Vita don't have that ability. This is solved with rotating the stick inwards for the 180?-turn and outwards for super-speed.
The touch-elements feel refreshing (so far), being able to stretch the katamari both vertically and horisontally to get objects in far-to-reach places. Still more comfortable moving around using the sticks (as on PS2 and PS3) while touching the screen for stretching. I guess this is due to habit and me feeling my hand is covering too much of the screen if controlling by touch only.
Language-wise this is absolutely playable without knowing any Japanese, although the weird story is lost to me
