This Game is like super weird and totally Japanese style, but very addicting, your a little green guy whose a prince and the point of the game is to collect as many items as possible to creat stars in the Galaxy, from a little eraser to a big building. This game is really challenging bc it's base on time limits to throughout the game your rushing to finish before the time runs out. The music is addicting and gameplay. The only issue I have is the controls, they are a bit hard to get use to, other than that I highly recommend this game to any kid and adult.

At heart this is a simple game. Roll up all kinds of stuff on a sticky ball which will then be compacted to make a star. It sounds simple but is endlessly entertaining due to the catchy music and variety of things you can encounter. I originally saw a demo version of this game being played at a convention and liked it so much that I bought a Playstation 2 in order to play it. My retired 65 year old mother loves this game just as much. The controls are very simple and easy to master for young and old alike. No fancy button combos required, which makes it ideal for people who have never played video games before, or only played strategy or puzzle type games. The game play is sufficiently deep to keep more serious gamers interested as well. There's special presents hidden in all the levels. There's also a feature called "collections" where it shows you how many of each item you've collected and from where. Filling out the whole collection to get all the items will take multiple plays through the game. You can beat the levels without getting the presents or finishing a collection, but serious gamers will want to try for full completion. The levels can be beaten in various ways. If you just barely complete the objective, it will just unlock the next level. If you achieve spectacular success the end-level animation will be different and in many cases may unlock a bonus 'hidden' level. You can roll up all kinds of strange thing during the course of the game. This ranges from normal household items like pens and telephones to more exotic things like people in rabbit suits, sumo wrestlers, and the Loch Ness Monster. Animals and people will try to run away from you so you have to chase them down. One of the great features in the game is you can't die. At worst you'll fail to complete a level. It's also a fun game to watch being played, so can be a good game to introduce a non-gamer to video games. The music is insanely catchy. You will end up humming the theme music. It is relentlessly happy. If you had a bad day at work, half an hour of Katamari Damarcy will make things better. The one down side is that the two player mode gets repetative very quickly and the split screen is a bit confusing. If you have several folks who'd like to play, it's easier to just switch off who's playing single player mode and let the others watch. Most levels are under ten minutes and are entertaining to watch, so even kids shouldn't get too restless if they have to share.Read full review
I first encountered this game in 2004 when someone was playing it at my school's union, and and stood and watched for a good 30 minutes. Then more recently, I saw a used copy of the PSP version for sale in a store for a cheap price, so I picked it up. I played that one for weeks on the bed before going to sleep till I got nearly all 100%. Then I picked up We Love Katamari, and played that one a bit, though not as much, since I don't touch the PS2 very often. But it's very fun still, and there are some very interesting levels in there. So I went ahead and bought the first game of the series, Katamari Damacy, and popped it in to try it. It has pretty quirky story scenes in between levels, which are very amusing if you're into the Katamari Damacy type of humor. Unfortunately, what I noticed in the first few levels is that it's all long and feels like everything's repeated, which I guess the later games handled better. The King destroyed the stars, so the Prince gets a super sticky ball called a Katamari and goes to different countries on Earth to roll up stuff to make new stars. But the annoying thing is, moving countries doesn't seem to change much in the room at all. Out of the first 6 stars you roll up, most of the content is the same. You can also roll constellations though, which are significantly different from each other, such as having to roll up as many fish as you can to make Pisces, or rolling up as many crabs as you can to make Cancer, which were very entertaining. All in all, this is not a bad game, but it's nowhere near as good as its sequel, "We Love Katamari", or the PSP version, "Me and My Katamari".Read full review
A classic game that really needs a remaster or re-released on modern consoles. The ps2 version is the most true and pure way of playing however. Simplistic controls that are easy pilot combined with great gameplay make it a ps2 gem. Recommend to gamers of any level.

This entire series is superb, if you're new to Katamari Damacy, there's no better place to start than this game as it's the first in the franchise. The gameplay is addictive and you'll find yourself going back and playing it again after completing it. Fun, strange, and quite challenging at times. One of my top 10 favorite game franchises of all time for sure!
