Katamari is one of the most original games I have ever played.
Its just awesome how the physics of the game works and every level is interestingly challenging and different.
My favourite levels are the ones where you begin in a bedroom, collecting items such as pegs, rubbers and pencils and your goal is to reach an astonnishing 500 meters in diameter! You venture out into the garden and the street collecting items until you can even pick up the house you started in!
I am in love with this game and it is a must have for anyones collection!
Plus the soundtrack is brilliant.

I saw a review of this in the Guardian and my Girlfriend wanted it straight away. This game is mind bogglingly addictive. The tunes will have you singing along even though they are in Japanese (Where can I get those tracks especially the flower level one?). You roll a ball into things to make it bigger and quite frighteningly this is more mind bending than crack. Even once the game is complete you will be going back to improve your score and make more stardust (Long explanation).

I heard loads about this game in magazines and was glad that it has finally come out in the UK. Because its inherently japanese and very quirky, I expected it to lose some appeal in its translation, but its still just as mad!
Theres just so much fun in starting out tiny, rolling up coins and pencils, then growing larger until you are rolling up cats, then people, cars, buildings, cities, mountains, clouds, and even the gods! Its such a fantastically simple and ingenious idea. It makes a change to the usual popular games involving violently killing gang members or beating people up for drugs money! Its a good, accessible pick up and play game that seems almost theraputic!
I finished it in a day and a half, but I did play it pretty solid. There is always time to improve on your score/ size in the many different and fun levels anyhow, and youll come back to it anyway because its such a unique game. The superb catchy and quirky soundtrack will draw you back in too!
For most of the time, the objective is to roll until you reach a target size within the time limit, but some involve different things such as rolling a snowball to create a snowmans head - including positioning the nose and eyes, one has you roll up fireflies to help a student study in the dark. Rolling a skinny sumo wrestler into food to make him fat and beat his opponent is my favourite one by far!

If you want a different game with a superbly simple, yet fun concept - I really reccomend it.
Its games like this that restore your faith in modern gaming - its not about violent, more extreme games or the latest next gen technology, just really good ideas that are fun to play!
