A Hit of the Brown Acid In the PS2
Katamari Damacy: GUARANTEED to be the weirdest game you will ever play.
I've been addicted to this for over a week now, and it just doesn't get old. This is a video game that reminds you just why you started playing video games in the first place: it's just plain fun to play. You want an insane plot? Here's one for you:
You are the Prince of All the Cosmos. You're Dad, the King, got drunk one night and accidentally destroyed all the stars in the sky. He sends you to Earth to make replacement stars. You do this by rolling a ball around; objects stick to the ball, and in each level you have a certain goal as to how big it has to be. You start off rolling over candies, paper clips and crabs (??) and eventually work your way up to rolling over people, cars, trees, and eventually entire buildings.
Now add to that N64-style graphics, some absolutely deranged cutscenes ("I can feel it. I can feel the cosmos."), bizarre ramblings from the abusive drunken King of All the Cosmos ("DELICIOUS CRABS!!") and a crazy, catchy Japanese rock/pop soundtrack and you have the most insane gaming experience you could ever hope to play.
All that for 20 bucks. Not a bad deal, I'd say. It's hard as hell to find, though, since as soon as stores get any copies in, they're quickly snatched up. If you find it, grab it quick before someone else takes it. I promise you won't regret it.
HIGHLY Recommended.
