A BIG BALL OF JUNK............LITERALLY
I laughed out loud the first time I rolled over a cow & it mooed, a person & he/she yelled, or a whale & it "roared." The King is really funny, but watching the TINY TINY Prince carry a big ball really takes the cake, or tree, or even building. The controls works good, but are a bit sluggish. The graphics are blocky, but it's perfecto. The camera can get a bit crappy when you're in small spaces, & nothings is worth more than when you roll into an object/person/moving thing & it knocks some stuff out of your ball. You'll grow attached to your balls of junk, as did I. I Heart the Katamari!

A must for collector's of strange games.
Strange as it may be, this game is actually very, very good. The first thing you will notice (Other than the intro that makes you feel like you just ate about seven or eight caps) is the music. This game has one of the most original, as well as most enjoyable, soundtracks of any game you will hear, EVER as long as you both shall live. It is MIND-BLOWING. The songs in the game, some hilarious, some beautiful, some both, will be with you for weeks after playing. That out of the way... The graphics are HORRIBLE, but it's almost like... Forrest Gump. No one would've liked him if he hadn't been an idiot... The terrible graphics in this game give it a very specific charm, and style, and somehow add more character to it, and really take away nothing. The concept of the game... rolling everything on Earth into balls to be made into stars because your dad, the King of All Cosmos, took some mushrooms, started dancing around space, and broke them all, and has charged you with the task of re-populating the night sky... is a brilliant concept indeed. This game is VERY fun, VERY addictive, and the game keeps track of everything you roll up from paper-clips to the country of Nigeria, in a scrap-book of sorts, and lets you know which objects are rare, (like the naked guy living in a peach) adding alot to the replay value, cause you always want to have your pages filled. There is a two player mode that's nothing to write home about, but if you want a game that you can take to a friends house when they've been drinking or smoking and say "Hey, check this out." and they'll say "..." in stunned disbelief, then this is a super-fun title to pick up. A really cool thing to have in your collection to make your girlfriend hate it even more.

Roll 'em' up!
This game is good and bad.The goods..... Rolling a ball is fun since you can roll people up and other things. Its so fun to roll up people and hear them scream.Your ball can be bigger than a Building!The music is in japenese but is good.Each level has its own height limit.You go from a stupid 10 meters to 300 meters!Also controls are simple and graphics are okay.The bad..... The game is fairly short not counting horoscope levels. There only 10 levels.For a lot of people rolling a ball in a certain time limit in each level seems boring.Despite the bad This is a fun and special game gamers can enjoy.

Masterfang strikes again!
Get it. Simply put, fun in a ball. You constantly commit acts of manslaugter, and theres some alcohol lead ons (the King of the cosmos was tripping out and he knocked all the stars out of the sky), but they candy it up to a kids game. This is what you see when your on crack. This vision of beauty, innovtion, and great music. Awesome sound, great controls, beautiful, but kiddish graphics, low price point ($20) and awesome fun for all ages.

Strange Puppy
This game is one strange puppy. The first thing you notice is the trippy music. It is one of the most original and fresh soundtracks ever. The game play is simple, you just roll around a ball collecting things until it gets a certain size. Then you advance to the next stage. The story is really bizarre so just take it as it is. The graphics are nothing to write home about with plain simple textures. It doesn't push the PS2 at all. One other fault was the controls and you only use the joy sticks. It's a real pain trying to see where you're going and getting turned around. The camera can be a little off at times. It's a cool little game at a great price and I give them props for bringing it over to the U.S.
