Beautiful Katamari

Beautiful Katamari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's surprising how many video games are based on violent action. This game, and the one that proceeded it, are too much fun and very benign. It seems everyone can have fun with it, including Liam and his mommy! read on about the bizarre game play:

The game's plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations and Moon, which his father, the King of All Cosmos, has accidentally destroyed. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a katamari around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to schoolchildren to mountains, until the ball has grown large enough to become a star. The game falls under both the puzzle and action game

genres, since strategy as well as dexterity are needed to complete a mission, but the game is fundamentally peaceful and somewhat meditative.

Katamari Damacy's story, characters, and settings are bizarre and heavily stylized, rarely attempting any semblance of realism, though the brands and items used are based on those current in Japan during the game's production.

this game seems really cute, and perfect your youngsters who want to play video games but shouldn't participate in the violent kind.

It addicting. No really it is. And somewhat frustrating. There are times i want to throw the controller and throw a fit like a 5 year old. ;P
