Katamari Damacy PlayStation 2

This unique actionpuzzle game from Namco plays on the idea of the "snowball effect." Players take control of a tiny, sticky, little ball, and are challenged to grow it to an enormous size. When they begin, their ball can only pick up little items, such as paper clips and thumbtacks. As more and more items collect on the ball's surface, however, it becomes bigger, and capable of picking up larger objects. With a good strategy and a little luck, players will soon roll across the countryside, collecting larger and larger items, such as family pets, automobiles, and eventually, entire buildings. The game's story line (for those who need one) casts players as a "Cosmic Prince," whose father has accidentally knocked the stars from the sky. If the Prince can collect a big enough ball of "junk" here on Earth, it can be used to create new stars. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
