Katamari Damacy for PlayStation 2

Pros: Rolling up entire cities
Cons: Camera gets funny rolling up entire cities

The Japanese are a quirky bunch. We all know this, a lot of us love this. Yet when it comes to games, we don’t tend to see a lot of their quirky stuff, because it’s just too odd for the American market which is seemingly locked in an endless cycle of GTA ...

Pros: Taking on Godzilla head-to-head..... And winning!
Cons: Will someone PLEASE turn that damn beeper off?!

God bless those designers from the Land of the Rising Sun. Somehow, only a Japanese designer could come up with a concept so simple, so stupid, and so foolishly and outrageously absurd that it becomes the latest sleeper - and one of the most addictive ...

Pros: Unique game play, great music and sound
Cons: Needs a better multiplayer, not enough unique levels

Since I move around with alot of gamers, the whispered hype first hit me in September. "Hey, you have to check out this weird game coming from Japan. Katamari Damacy." It was even more intriguing when it did finally hit stores and was priced to move, ...

Pros: quirky fun
Cons: some lazy level design, short

If you happened to break into my house a week or two ago, you might've noticed the Xbox 360 hooked up to the new TV in the living room. If you took a closer look, you'd realize that it's collecting dust! But then, you'd hear some quirky Japanese music ...

Pros: Sony Playstation 2 Japanese for "Crack Is Whack".
Cons: The camera is whack.

I know you love me I wanna wad you up into my life Let's roll up to be a single star in the sky I hear you calling me I wanna wad you up into my life Let's roll up to make a single star in the sky To you, oh to you Que Sera Sera - ...

Pros: Addictive, great soundtrack, easy to pick up and play, inexpensive
Cons: Multiplayer was disappointing

I should be almost embarassed to say this, but I work at a video game store and I own less than 20 games total, something made more embarassing by the fact that I own five systems. I drool over everything but rarely buy. A lack of money is the largest ...

Pros: Reasonable price for All-in-One, fast draft mode with decent to excellent print quality.
Cons: tri-ink cartridges, flimsy paper trays, noisy, reported potential ethernet/network issues

It's been awhile since I've looked at All-in-One inkjet units. I had to revisit this with the problems my parents were having with their OfficeJet 6110xi unit recently. It had problems printing from a computer unless you unpluged the unit from the AC ...

Pros: Very unique, simple to play, highly addictive, great music.
Cons: Too short in length and not exactally sharp on texture quality.

Leave it to the Japanese to create some of the most unusual and bizarre games ever created. Katamari Damacy is unusual in it's appearance, and yet very simple in concept: create the biggest ball of crap possible. The "King Of The Cosmos" went on some ...

Pros: quirky style, incredibly simple and intuitive gameplay, humorous story, price
Cons: some control response issues, low replay value

Katamari Damacy, from the moment you turn on the game title, will probably strike you one of many situations. Never having been much of a Japanese import gamer, I might instantly add that the opening theme -- showcasing the main characters, the Prince ...

Pros: Blindingly addictive
Unique and lots of fun
Cheap!

Cons: Camera isn't great
Multiplayer has some issues
Short..

In the Beginning I think the biggest problem with the trade in program they have at EB Games is you feel obligated to pick up that one extra game, and suddenly your $40 credit has become "You owe $6.41 after your discount." As always, I'm a ...

Pros: One of a kind game, really fun, good music, very simple and easy to learn.
Cons: Read Graphics, Camera angle, pronouncing the name.

Out of nowhere the sleeper game Katamari Damacy emerges. This game is by far one of the weirdest games ever made. It just doesn’t fit with most of the games out there so classifying it into a category proves to be a difficult challenge. Plot: This ...

Pros: Too many to name. Once introduced to it, everyone loves this game. It's fun personified!
Cons: Any problems are far outweighed by the sheer joy the game imparts. Not worth mentioning.

Uh-oh! Your galactic sized father is drunk and he's knocked all the stars out of the sky! The next morning he wakes up with a wicked hangover and realizes what he's done. So what does he do? He charges you, his son, with the task of rebuilding the ...

Pros: A unique game bursting with style, humor, and joy -- all for a budget price!
Cons: Graphically primitive, and somewhat short.

Video gamers are privilleged to encounter Japanese culture more frequently than the average American. Games like Wario Ware and Dance Dance Revolution could never be cooked up on US soil. Why? I don't know. But the Japanese passion for unbridled ...

Pros: Hilarious fun and completely addicting!
Cons: Completely addicting!

I have a love affair with anything bizarre and Japanese. Katamari Damashi is a dream come true. THE PREMISE: You are a prince; the son of the King of All Cosmos. One night, your father goes on a tear around the universe and destroys all the stars in ...
