A couple people I talked to suggested this game. Just when I had lost hope in the future of console gaming, at least for this gen... along comes Katamari Damacy. Original and unique gameplay, great graphics, fun soundtrack (I love the jazzy song), and not to mention challenging at times. I'm on Make a Star 7, I gotta get my ball to like 6m, it's quite challenging for a game that seems so simple. This is Sony's Jet Set Radio. Best $20 spent on a game in a long, long, long time. Thank you once again Namco for an awesome game.

I can't add anything that hasn't been said already, except that this is the first game in a long while to suprise me, I mean, we all get a pretty accurate idea about what current hardware can and can't do, and when I saw the depth of field and sheer scale working in KD, I was awed that the PS2 was running this.

I was wondering when GAF was going to find out about this game
Man, I say let's be patient and let Namco take their time with Katamari 2. I'm hoping KD will follow the Pikmin Path to Success (TM): The first game introduces a fresh idea and style of gameplay, and the sequel refines that gameplay and throws in plenty of content, depth, and play modes.

You.. haven't been here much, have you? Masturbating for Katamari was in full force here couple of weeks ago. I'd say this forum was one of the hubs for the Katamari viral marketing. Awesome little game, btw. Funny thing about it is that it's one of those games that I'm sure most people who never play games would like, but those people will never know about it to begin with. It could have been a New Tetris if Namco was smart about it.
Level 7 music is just so damn good.

Since I don't understand Japanese, do you by any chance know what does the name of that song mean?

while i love the rest of the soundtrack, that's definitely the highlight for me.
it's like something from the books, telefon telaviv, or m83. fucking rocks, but i can understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. i'm guessing that you don't dig that kind of music anyway.

not really sure... something about presents? i'm probably way off though.

Katamari is a game made by very smart and very creative people. Those guys, team Ico and Clover (and although I haven't played it, I'd be very inclined to put Nintendo's studio that developed Pikmin together with them) are giving me the hope that this is the new Japanese development we'll be seeing more of. Enough with the boobies, JRPG teenage dramas and broken voice acting. We have grown up, and so should our games )
)That and the intro/last level song (Katamari on the Rocks). The intro song is so ridiculously happy-happy, and so is the whole intro animation. It just fills me with joy every time I boot the game
Hehe, you and I obviously speak the same language when it comes to music. The song #7 really is that good, that I'd put it with the good stuff made by those guys. And it actually reminded me of them as well.

Please tell me this game is selling well!
Or at least as well as can be expected for a niche title.
