Katamari Damacy..

....ROCKS!!!

It's my new favourite game.

Go buy it. NOW. It's only $20! Christ, Namco is GIVING this awesome game away!

From what I got by your description, you play a ball....and....you.....roll......around. I have a game like that for NES, its called "Marble Madness" . THE best game with a marble as the lead character in it.

Here, I'll just paste this everywhere as opposed to typing it out all the time.

You're 5 cm tall. You roll around a magnetic ball device to pick up objects, and there's objective sizes and/or items you need to achieve with your ball. With me so far? Good. Why are you doing this anyways? Your dad, the King of Cosmos, destroyed all the stars in the sky in a drunken rampage one night, and he puts you in charge of making them all again. Yes, you go to earth, roll up a ball of stuff, and he shoots it into the sky, and it's a new star.

It's not THAT confusing. ^_^

Wow, I never thought this game would come to the states, and at $20 no less. I know what I'll be getting this weekend :D

[DarkMaster]

damn, is this game really that good? I was just offered to receive a review copy of it, but I wasn't sure if I wanted it. Thanks for the heads up.

I've been meaning to try this game. It looks like fun. I like fun. I also like pie. :)

I almost rented it this weekend, but I ended up renting Star Wars Battle Front.

Pie.

EDIT: To Dyne, is the $20 in american or canadian money?

400 METERS OH-MY-GOD MADNESS

I feel like rolling everything I see up now. HOLY GOD. It had Giant Octopi, and buildings, and ferris wheels, and OH MY GOD

P.S. $30 Canadian.

[Canyarion]

lol? :p Sounds good, I wonder if EU will get it.

[Dyne]

Time to import.

But really, it looks like it's doing well over here.. it's on the best sellers list. Maybe they'll announce it for Europe after all. And by the time you guys get it, the sequel will already be out.

I can't wait to purchase game with my canadian money.

Namco announced its PS2 action puzzle game Katamari Damacy has won the Gold Prize of the 2004 Japanese Industrial Design Promotion Awards, this is the first time a videogame has won this award.

Rawk!

[Swan]

I want to play this game so much. I don't have any money though.

Do you think it is worth the rent, or more of a buy game?

[Dyne]

$30 is a steal! Unless they reprint, you won't find a copy easily later.

[DarkMaster]

I remember when I missed out on Guitaroo Man, I couldn't find that game at stores now if my life depended on it. Don't make the same mistake I did, buy it while you can.

[Dylflon]

I forgot to mention that I bought it on Friday.

Happy.
