Game Overview

The whole point of Katamari Damacy is to roll the largest ball. The demo gives you 3 minutes to make a ball that is 1.5 Meters in diameter. You first begin by rolling up small objects, such as alarm clocks and flower beds, and eventually it becomes large enough to include animals, cars, and even people. The ball can become so large, in fact, that later stages allow you to roll up clouds and accompanying gods.

The Bottom Line

Ever wonder what it would be like to roll around and collect everything you touched in one massive heap? Well that's exactly the premise of Namco's strange action game Katamari Damacy. In it, players assume the role of the Prince of the Cosmos as he undertakes a quest to right the wrongs of his father who accidentally knocked the stars out of the sky. The only way to fix it is to roll around the world and collect as many items as possible in one gigantic clump. Both a single player story mode and two-player battle feature are included for the romp, and gamers will be able to accumulate hundreds of different items of various shapes and sizes.

Unapologetically surreal, which can make it tough to look away from, and its toylike gameplay model makes for a surprisingly satisfying experience.

The concept for this game is so simple, yet it works so well. Each of the levels are highly addictive, and they will keep you coming back for more, and to unlock all of the mysteries that this game possesses.

It's something that's fun, something that's happy, and something that's so well put together and so enjoyable, whatever faults it may have fade behind the laughter and smiles it so effortlessly creates.
