Arcade, splitscreen, PlayStation exclusive, multiplayer, singleplayer
Katamari Damacy is a slightly non-standard and uncomplicated virtual game, designed rather for enthusiasts of electronic and entertainment products from the Land of the Cherry Blossom. Namco's work contains many characteristic references to Japanese culture, so Western laypeople usually have difficulty understanding the fun.
THE ROLLING, STICKING, NEVER-STOPPING, EVER-SWELLING CLUMP OF STUFF THAT MAKES A STAR OUT OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!
Cookies and kebabs, lawn mowers and lamp posts, synchronized swimmers and sumo wrestlers, bulldozers and windmills, giraffes and brontosauruses, Ferris wheels and cruise ships beware! The stop-at-nothing pushing prince is coming.
When the King of All Cosmos accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky, he orders you, his pint-sized princely son, to put the twinkle back in the heavens above. How, you ask? By rolling everything and anything on earth into clumps, so he can replace what's missing in space.
# Play is controlled with the analog sticks only. No buttons to press. No combos to cause distress. Featuring ball-rolling and object-collecting gameplay mechanics of mesmerizing fluidity, reduced to Pac-Man simplicity, through pure absurdity.
# Dimensions change drastically as your clump grows from a fraction of an inch to a monstrous freak of nature. Go from rolling along a tabletop to ravaging through city streets, picking up momentum and skyscrapers along the way.
# Two-player battle mode lets you compete in a race to grow the biggest ball of stuff. Even the competition can be picked up, if your opponent is unfortunate enough to get in your way.
# Enjoy quirky, infectious humor throughout—from the insanely cosmic animations, to the wacky and wonderful musical stylings, to the royally contagious storyline that's undoubtedly like no other.
