In addition, there is a two-player mode where you can go head-to-head with someone else. Even when you finish all of the available levels you can revisit them to try to beat your personal records. New levels open as prior ones are completed, and you get the most curious, quirky and cryptic cut scenes before and after each level. In fact, the game unfolds as simply as its beginning.

Suddenly you are tasked to go to Earth and use the Katamari to rebuild the night sky, rolling up everything in sight to create stars, constellations and even the Moon. You heard that right, dad got wasted, broke things, and now he expects you to fix it all. You are the miniscule Prince of the Cosmos, and your father, the King of the Cosmos, has gone on somewhat of a mad bender and destroyed everything in the night sky. This title is the embodiment of what gaming should be – fun. Perhaps the simplest means to define Katamari Damacy is the best. At its core, the game is a puzzle game, but one so unlike any other traditional puzzle game that it should compel both casual and hardcore gamers to lose themselves for countless hours in its depths. Where the vast majority of today’s console and PC titles can easily be classified by the traditional game genre definitions, Katamari Damacy is an entirely different experience than anything else that you may have played before.

If ever there was a title that defied explanation it is Namco’s Katamari Damacy.
