I love the idea of this game. You roll a ball around and stuff sticks to it making it bigger so that bigger stuff sticks to it. So simple. The music and the irreverence of the King of All the Cosmos really make this game for me. It is light hearted and fun.
Pure fun

I tend to compare this game to Tetris, its a simple concept, and when you first hear about it, you are like, there is no way I can be entertained by this, then you spend HOURS playing it. This is the first unique game I have played in a long time. Problem with most games out there at the moment is that theyt have all been done before, this game has not.
I can almost guarentee that when you put the game in and turn it on, you will think that either you or the designers (or both) are having some kind of weird drug induced halucination. After you play the game a few times, and go back and watch the opening, it will make sense, and will fast become one of your favorite parts of the game.
The music is unique, freash and fun. I am now listening to the soundtrack on my way to work, it helps put me in a good mood.
Now that part 2, "We Love Katamari" has just come out, the fun just keeps on going. The second game has newer levels and, well, thats about it. But you can pick up both games for less than the price that you would buy one new game.
I put this game up there with Kingdom Hearts as one of the Must Have games for the PS2.
Severe awesomeness.

There's something beautiful about rolling up things. The looks of terror as helpless people run for safety...The screams of distress as they are rolled into the Katamari...The pride in your heart as the King tosses them into space...
Er. It's pretty addicting.
I can't get enough!

This is defiantely my favourite PS2 game. It has lots of originality, something that games are lacking thses days. The style is in a nice arcade type, so that anybody can easily play the game. Plus, it's very fun. There are loads of things to do and things to collect. And another good bonus, it hands down has one of the best music soundtracks in PS2, maybe even video game history. Highly recommended, obviously.
Absolutely Wonderful Experience

Katamari Damacy is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale gaming world. It is a title you will likely never get tired of, and it's odd but simple gameplay draws you back again and again. The music in the background is especially catchy and fun to listen to, and makes me smile whenever I hear it. The entire game experience is not unlike the pleasant feelings you experience after hours of prolonged zen meditation, and I would recommend the game to anyone looking for something new. The game's only flaw is that it is a little short; I wish it were twice or three times as long as it is.
Like nothing I've ever played before... A true PS2 gem!

In Katamari Damacy, the drunken King of All Cosmos accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky... Even the Moon! So like the unreliable father he is, he sends his pint-sized son, the Prince of All Cosmos, to replace all the stars in the sky. How you ask? Why, by rolling up everyone and everything on Earth into a colossal katamari ball which the King will transform into a star, of course!
Katamari Damacy is a simple, yet extraordinarily fun game with unique graphics, a wacky sense of humor, and a fantastic soundtrack! Buy this game while you still can!
Fun for the Whole Family!

Katamari Damacy is fun and challenging for kids and adults. The tasks vary from meeting specific content goals to speed challenges to maximum size tests. Some tasks will be a favorite for the younger players and others will test the skills even the most accomplished game-playing adults. The concept is easy enough for a 4 year old to understand, but still engaging (almost addictive) for adults. Roll, roll, roll!
The ongoing Wowzer is happening right Now

This is game is my favorite ever, along with FFX. this game is a masterpiece. Hard to get into too, IMO, but if you like this type of humor, quirkyness and gameplay, you will agree with this review. and the best part. maybe it has the best replay value ever on a game.
Great fun, one warning

This game is unique. You are the prince to a very quirky king, who assigns you the task of rolling a ball around in different levels. If you hit something smaller than yourself, it sticks, and you grow larger. You start out picking up thumbtacks and bottlecaps and end up picking up people, cars, then trees and finally entire buildings and islands. If you hit something too large it knocks you back. It is particularly fun to go to an area where you were getting kicked around, and come back larger and absorb everything.
Several side stories and small videos will leave you saying..."what was that about?" But it is all fun and the music is great.
One warning - unlike almost every other game nowadays (Spyro, Mario, Call of Duty, etc etc etc.) You "win" this game very quickly - in 6 or 7 hours of gameplay, if you are good. It is over too quickly.
