I had a ball...

Adorable game, and very simple to play. Roll the ball into little things to become King or something like that. I beat the game in a day but it was still worth it overall.

Weird and Fun! Just Like Me!

I got this for my partner for Christmas and we loved playing it! It's weirdly fun and addictive and my partner ended up dreaming about it more than once.

The battle mode gets old after a few times and they need to figure something else out for that. The King of the Cosmos talks too much, too. But otherwise, a fun and interesting game with absolutely no violence (unless you count rolling up mice and such with the katamari as violence).

Whimsical, silly, non-violent... the only fault vidgame haters will find with Katamari Damacy is that it is addictive. Hard core gamers may also object that it is not hugely challenging. This is one of the few games I've been able to "finish" all available levels on in a fairly short period, but that is probably in part because the game is so addictive and giggle-worthy. Some of the dialog is almost amateurish, but in this game that only adds to its charm.

Keep on Rollin'

The game itself is extremely simple, but loads of fun. I'll spare you the mind altering substance-induced plot, since all you need to know is that you start as a little man pushing a little sticky ball (a katamari), whcih you use to "roll up" anything small enough to stick to your ball. You start off small, and as you progress, you pick up more and more things (and by "things", i mean pretty much any noun besides "air"), and end up getting bigger.

And that's really all you need to know. The controls are simple (my girlfriend normally shies from video games but loves this one), the graphics are cute, and the content is innocent as it gets. It's a videogame cult classing, and anyone with a ps2 or ps3 should give it an hour; you'll be hooked.

Addictive

When I purchased this game I was addicted to it. There is just something really fun about rolling a ball and trying to make it bigger. I would highly recommend this game.

For a select few...

For those who would find interesting a game in which you are charged with the responsibility of recreating the stars by rolling up everything you can find on Earth into one big ball, there is none better than Katamari Damacy. The vast majority of the western video game audience probably think this is absurd, and make no mistake, everything about it is, but it's immensely entertaining, and fills a niche somewhere in the gaming culture. The choice of graphic style gives the entire world a fresh and intriguing appearance, and the depth of interaction with the world is amazing (you can pick up everything at one point or another, and the changing scale of the katamari is always entertaining). The King of All Cosmos has incredible monologues, and the music is actually worth purchasing or downloading independent of the game, its so good. On top of all this, there's a fine layer of social philosophy, with lyrics in songs like "I want to roll you up into my life," "let's clump up together," "we're a single star in the sky." Ultimately, as you travel from country to country rolling up people, cars, houses, and everything else, you'll see how indiscriminately the katamari collects its objects; there's no prejudice in this wonderful world.
So, if any of this sounds appealing, go ahead and buy the game. It's fairly cheap, you'll be entertained for hours, it's not frustratingly difficult, and you'll never look at our world the same way again. However, be warned that this genre appeals to very few people, and it could very well distort your perception of reality to the extent that you can't function in it anyone.
Lastly, if anyone harrasses you for your love of Katamari Damacy, just think about rolling them up in one big ball, and sending it to some distant corner of space.

Only the Japanese...

Only the Japanese could invent a game as strange as this. The intro is almost the best part of the game and should not be missed. It has dancing Panda Bears and rainbows, along with cows and other creatures. The game is deceptively simple. All you do is roll a sticky ball around and collect objects that are smaller than your ball. Eventually, you are able to pick up people, cars and skyscrapers. It doesn't sound like much, but once you start playing, it's hard to stop. I would definately recommend this game for people of all ages.

Great Game, but A Bit of a Trip...

Hold your horses, kids! Once you get past the sheer weirdness of the intro with the flying rainbows, singing geese, and wide-headed "King of All Cosmos", you're in the middle of a very entertaining, if not completely bizzare game concept. The basic premise of making the biggest ball of "stuff" as you can in a limited timeframe is both simple and genius. Execution of this game has been done very well -- excellent music, solid gameplay, and acceptable graphics add to the entertainment value. Yes, even the strange characters, and odd, head-scratching, broken-english/translated Japanese dialogue can be entertaining (for what that's worth). The tunes stay with you, as well, as the amusing play of the game, rolling around the ball to be as big as you can make it. I'd recommend it!

Fun for kids and grownups!

I am not much of video games fan, but I like this game. I can see how it can get addictive, as you just want to play one more round to see if you can build a bigger katamari or another katamari. Our son loves the game.

All the talking from the "King" between games, if you will, gets a bit tiring, but you can skip most of the talk (press X). One part of the game seems complicated (where you view your playing history among other things), yet our 6-yr-old doesn't seemed bothered by it and navigates the game much faster than Mom and Dad.
