THE GOOD:
I like sticking all kinds of things to the katamari from the teeny tiny tacks...to huge buildings and people.

THE BAD:
....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

SUMMARY:
The king has lost all the stars in the sky and YOU must take a sticky ball(katamri) and roll up all kinds of things to replace the stars. You play as this little green prince that HAS to be very strong to be able to go from a 3.2 milimeter ball to 1000 kilometers!!..Damn...that's a strong alien. Well, as you are rolling up Sumo wrestlers and little kids, take some time to roll up that shark and that gas station over there. Wait Mommy!! What;s that? That's your dad, honey. He has become attached to that little green guy's ball. You can make sick jokes all day long, but that doesn't diminish the HOURS and maybe DAYS you play sleepless on this game. This game is definitely great for parties!!! The soundtracks on here are in japanese, english and ....SPANISH???? Well, only one track,...

Uber-addictive
Uber-strange
Uber-fun!

THE BAD:
Multiplayer sucks

SUMMARY:
Katamari Damashi

First of All...: This is probably the strangest, most non-sensical game to ever be released. But god-damn, it's so freakin` fun. Japan needs to release more quirky games like this in the US. This is one of those games that developers thought of while smoking weed, snorting coke, drinking about a gallon of Jack and inhaling laughing gas. It's that great. Not that I'm promoting drug and alcohol abuse...

Visuals: 9.5 I had to sit around and think for a good while on what to score the visuals of this game. I mean, it's definitely not the prettiest game on the Playstation line-up so...

THE GOOD:
  • Unique Gameplay Objective
  • Catchy, Original Soundtrack
  • Nice Graphics
  • Great Cutscenes Between Levels
  • Fun For Gamers of All Ages

    THE BAD:
    Weak storyline, but the gameplay makes up for what the story lacks.

    SUMMARY:
    I'll admit, the game does sound a bit sketchy, but rolling around in a little ball picking up pieces of junk on the Playstation 2 is quite a bit funner than it is in real life.

    The objective of the game is to restore stars to their original place in the atmosphere. Unlike you're lying science teacher once told you, stars are made of nothing more than a load of crap wrapped around a Katamari. You and your Katamari will be placed on the Earth with a set goal for the diameter of your ball. Sounds easy enough, but you do have a time limit, since we all know the King of Cosmos "can't be expected to wait on you." Like he has anything better to do...

    You'll start out picking...

    This is one of the most addicting and fun games of 2004. First off, it's only $20 brand new and you'll never regret it. The game has simple controls yet fairly tough to master. The goal of the game is to get past each level by collecting items into your 'Katamari' or ball until you reach a certain size within a time limit. But not all items can be picked up at once. You have to build your Katamari up with smaller objects until you get large enough to pick up larger objects. It has 10 main levels and 10 side levels with specific goals (like collect the most crabs within a time limit). It's quirky obviously Japanese made game will capture you when you pop it in. And as you start by picking up candy and mice, soon you'll get to pick up chairs, tables, people, trees and eventually skyscrapers and islands themselves. Everyone with two thumbs should pick this up.

    -Also includes 2 Player Battle Mode

    THE GOOD:
    Catchy music tracks, playful graphics, colorful sounds and locales, cheery all around.

    THE BAD:
    Sometimes awkward to handle the katamari, but nothing that isn't meant to be overcome.

    SUMMARY:
    Quite possibly the funnest game you'llfind for under the usual $50 USD price, and possibly above it. If the idea of rolling a ball around a house, city, or island doesn't sound appealing then give it a rent and prepared to have your mind changed and blown in one fell swoop. The sheer scale of the game is an awe-inspiring sight. The first time you roll up a building, having started 12 minutes earlier at 10 cm wide, you'll get just how expansive the game can be. Unlocks are fairly minimal, and range from clothing options to being able to play certain stages without a time limit, effectively making your only limit the fact that you'll have collected everything. Given that it's rather short, and the obscure but laughable 'plot' and 'story...
