Katamari Damacy

Katamari Damacy (塊魂, Katamari Damashii) is a video game produced by Namco for the Playstation 2 console. It introduced the concept of the katamari, a magical adhesive sphere that can be rolled around to pick up objects in a certain time limit to reach a determinate size. The main characters of the game are The Prince, a 5cm tall being; The King of All Cosmos, the Prince's dellusional and alcoholic dad; and the cousins.

Plot
At the start, the King instructs the player on how to use the katamari in a short tutorial stage. After this, the King goes on a rampage after a round of binge drinking, effectively destroying every star and planet in the Cosmos besides Earth. The King sends his son Prince to Earth with multiple katamari's in order to rebuild the night sky. Finally, after the player completes every task (Make a Star 1-10, Make the Moon, Make Constellations) the credits roll while the Prince rolls up every country in the world to the tune of 'Katamari of Love'. An after-credits scene shows the Hoshino family taking a lunar vacation after they are rolled up into the katamari used to make the moon.



Legacy
Katamari Damacy has been hailed as one of the most original and creative games of all time, lauded by critics for its addicting gameplay, quirky theme, and catchy soundtrack. Some have called it the greatest game of all time. It was a moderate success in Japan, and when it was released in North America it became a surprise hit, selling out numerous copies and launching a franchise that would be continued with We Love Katamari, Me & My Katamari, Beautiful Katamari, and Katamari Forever.
