Usually when a game is rated "E" for Everyone... Everyone can play it. This game should be rated "K" for kids. When some Cosmos King destroys all the stars in the sky it's your job to go to earth and roll together objects of everysize into your katamari balls and toss them into space to recreate the stars that were once there.
I think I lost 100 IQ just playing the first level....
Yuck

If you have not played this game, it is basically the video game equivalent of 52 card pick up. There is a reason it is selling for only 19 bucks, it is short, it looks bad and is not very much fun to play. You basically are introduced by some lame story where you have collect trash and build stars. The characters who do this look terrible, and you are expected to basically read about 10 minutes of dialogue before you start to do anything remotely interesting. For a lack of better description it is too Japanese and too weird for most people. I know people have enjoyed the game for the creative use of controls and simplicity of the game but what about every other component of this game, the camera - terrible, the story - aweful, game length - short, fun - for about 5 minutes. Some people might enjoy this game but this definetely falls in the rent but don't buy category regardless of price.
MY KIDS HATED It!!!!!

Before I order PS2 Games for Christmas, I always check out the reviews and most of the time order games by a lot of positive reviews....I ordered this game for my 10 & 11 year olds and they absolutely hated it....Said it was the stupidiest and most boring game they have ever played/seen....So when we had a bday party, I had a few of their friends, ages 9-13 play it, and they all said it was a really dumb and uneventful game.....I COULDN'T EVEN GIVE THIS GAME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, if I could have gone with 0 stars thats what this game would have gotten.....One Star is way too many.....
Really stupid

It's original, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean it's good. It's not. It get monotonous very quickly, it's tedious, and it's just not very entertaining. The graphics are PS1 quality. There are a lot of great games you can buy for $20 -- this isn't one of them.
Are some of the people who reviewed this borderline?

I purchased Katamari Damacy for my grand daughter, after reading some of the reviews that really praised this game. This has got to be the worst game that I have in my Playstation 2 collection. And I have over 100. There is no plot. My grand daughter absolutely hates it. Even though it is not that expensive. Playstation should pay customers to play this silly game. My advise is to pass over this game and add the cost of it to a much better game.
BAD GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The guys who made this game must have been on an acid trip at the time. All you do is roll over objects, picking them up, and you get bigger. There is no point to this game! Dont read the other reviews! This is a bad game. The only reason it gets two stars is because sometimes it is SOOOO bad, it can be funny.
Nobody wanted to play it again..

I bought this for kids that play Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, hoping this would be a nice diversion. Ugh, it was awful I thought. I tried to be enthusiastic about it, but it was so slow, the graphics were dated looking and it just seemed tedious to play. There was more dialogue than I wanted and it just never captured anyones attention. I feel bad for the person who bought it from me.
Fun in a wierd way

Katamari Damacy is weird, everything to its wildly addicting gameplay to its catchy themesong its just bizzare. The gamplay, the story is about the king of all cosmos lost all the stars so he has to send his son to earth to roll up the earth in a katamari. Every small object can be rolled up by your katamari. Once you successfully rolled up a big anough katamari in the time given you may ethier choose if you want it to ba a star of stardust. There is also Vs mode you can play with freinds. The graphics arent going to win any awards and the story is stupid, but you still might be sitting there for hours playing this game. They also used a unique way of moving your katamari and how it is a challenging game but i wont take the obsessed gamer a day to beat. Its addicitive but not in a fun way. I give it 3 stars
Positive Side
+ Cool gameplay
+ Unique Controls
+ Perfect Soundtrack
Negitive Side
- Way to short
- Not alot of dept
- Crapy Graphics
