One of the greatest video games ever made. [JPN Import]

There’s really nothing else out there remotely like it, and if strange Japanese things are your bag, you simply cannot do any better than Katamari Damacy. It’s fun, weird and fabulous - a sickness certainly worth catching.

Yet the beauty of Katamari Damacy comes not from fighting, exploration or trading, but from rolling a ball (known as a katamari) that captures anything within its path. A brilliantly simple idea, and one that's perfectly executed.

Very few games today are so brazenly simplistic yet still so huge in scale so this really is a rare treat.

Deceptively simple with a hidden layer of strategy. Katamari has a simplicity and charm that is definitely addicting.
80
It's a novel idea that almost works to perfection, and it's bolstered by a whacky Japanese design that'll please gamers looking for title with an Eastern flavor.

The visuals are dated but everything else about Katamari Damacy is too wonderfully weird in its simplicity for anyone to explain.

The best 2000's game, the most original of the decade for consoles, a real piece of Art, Katamari Damacy's soundtrack is a masterpiece of its own.

Best game I have ever played, I would say. It's simple, new (or it was new when I got it 13 years ago!) and cute. If you don't understand this game, hey, I don't blame you. But definitely worth checking out anyway.

One of the happiest, simplest gaming experiences I've ever come across. Roll a ball until it's big enough to **** up buildings. Watch people panic and scream while catchy, happy-go-lucky music gets stuck in your head. If you're open to unconventional experiences in gaming, this is absolutely worth your time.

This game is the WORST experience of my LIFE. How can people rate this so frikin' high? You take a ball, role stuff up for like, 10 hours worth of levels, a time limit like superman 64, which, compared to this, superman 64 is like a masterpiece, a incredibly weird and not understandable storyline with nothing deep to it, a super bad soundtrack that will drive you crazy, extremely ugly characters, dumb levels, low content, the list goes on. Verdict is the worst game ever, worst than Ride to Hell and Superman 64 combined, 0/10 would rate it lower.
