• Here's the idea - You control a little green guy as he rolls a ball of stuff across multiple levels. As the stuff sticks to the ball, it grows bigger and bigger
• Manipulate the balls' growth so that larger and larger objects can be picked up -- from trees & lamp posts to buildings and islands
• Bombastic soundtrack that's sure to get stuck in your head

Summary: A Unique Game That Suffers From A Bit Of Repetitive Game Play
Comment: Katamari Damacy is a rarity in the video game industry, that being a truly unique game. The game revolves around the Prince of Cosmos' and his attempt to gather material to make new stars and moons, after the King of Cosmos destroys them all in what appears to be a drunken bender. The Prince accomplishes this goal by using a Katamari, an extremely adhesive ball, to roll up an ever increasing amount of items under a specified time limit. While the game play is actually fairly simple, the game's unique design is what will continue to have players coming back. The only major downside to this game is the very repetitive game play that may turn off some gamers. Also, the very cartoonish graphics and odd design may also turn off some gamers as well. Overall, Katamari Damacy is a unique game that suffers from some reparative game play issues, but the game is defiantly worth playing and even owning.

Summary: Fun all rolled up!!
Comment: Great game! The controls are straight forward, and the game play is simple... but my word is it the most amusing game ever. And it is perfect for the casual gamer. Each level can be completed in 5-25 minutes. If you can only spare 30 minutes or less of your day playing video games, spend it on this! (Although you will want to spend more ^.~) That and my 4 year old LOVES watching me play he thinks it's hilarious.

Summary: Just glue the PS2 Shut
Comment: For the longest time, this game might as well have been sealed inside my mini PS2. Then I got 'We Love Katamari' and I go back and forth.

A completely amazing and delightful experience. Not a whole lot I can add to the chorus of praise here. It's weird, it's strange, it's incredible. I am not what you would call a gamer at all. I play some things casually, then when it gets too difficult I wander away and don't come back. But both flavors of Katamari you can play over and over again. The art and soundtrack are just hilarious fun for you to sit back and marvel at.

Looking to have some cheap fun during this 'uncertain' times? Get a PS2 at a local Gamestop, Garage Sale, or on Craigslist for next to nothing. Then get this game and it's sequel. Frankly there are a TON of great games available for this platform for next to nothing.

This game reminds you that it's not about high definition blood splattering, but great gameplay and sheer fun.

Summary: Great Game For the Non-Gamer and Gamer Alike
Comment: I never use my Playstation 2 at home anymore, so I hooked this up to the TV in the lounge at work. It became wildly popular very quickly, because anyone can pick up the controller and learn how to play in about a minute. It's also a cheerily colorful and light-hearted distraction in a busy office. Even though only one person can play at a time, people stop in for a few minutes to watch and decompress. When the Playstation was still at home and in regular use, it was great for casual weekday gatherings at home. A very social game.

The ability to pick up the control and be told in less than a minute how to play is the same draw that has made the Wii wildly popular.
