To
this day the strangest, craziest, and weirdest game I’ve ever played in all my
years of gaming has been Katamari Damacy
and it’s not even close. The game that was developed by Namco for under a
million dollars that created a wonderful experience for many gamers when it
came out 10 years ago in 2004. Now for me, I heard about this game while
watching an old episode of X-Play on
G4, hearing Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb singing its praises. So naturally I
had to find out what the hype was all about, and to my surprise it became an
all-time favorite of mine.

What
stood out to me about Katamari was
the weirdness and simplicity of the story itself. The story of Katamari deals with the King of The
Cosmos (a huge Galactus size being) wiping out all the stars and other
celestial & astrological bodies from the sky due to him going on a wild
drinking spree. Instead of taking responsibility and returning the sky back to
normal, he puts the onus on his son the prince (whose immensely pint-sized
compared to the king) to go to Earth and pretty much collect as much stuff as
he can to recreate all the stars and constellations. During this story mode,
there’s a side story involving a Japanese family that has been affected by the
actions from the King and has like a sense of the princes’ actions. The game is
also simplistic in its controls. In a day and age where complex buttons schemes
and controls are the norm, Katamari’s controls
date back to a simpler time in gaming and that’s what is great about this game
and make it a lot of fun.

To
me the story in its simple and weird style, make for an enjoyable experience.
What makes it more enjoyable is the soundtrack…. OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK!!! I
haven’t mentioned how amazing it is, and I’m thinking that I will have to write
about that someday and break it down but nonetheless, Katamari Damacy will go down as one of my favorite games of
all-time. Just writing about it makes me want to play it all over again and
have some fun.
