Katamari Damacy: Tetris 2004?
Jamie Gaughran-Perez
So I'd never written an Amazon review -- but when I picked up Katamari Damacy late last year, I couldn't resist. So... here it is. Go get it. Now.
Addictive, deceptively simple, very well executed... Very basically put, you collect stuff by rolling over it with a sticky ball, but its amazing how gracefully perspective shifts as your katamari goes from 1 inch in size to 1 mile and from collecting shirt buttons to skyscrapers and bridges.
And if you thought "All Your Base Belongs To Us" was funny in any way, you'll really enjoy all the story interludes.
Be warned, the graphic approach is very very basic and will remind you of pixel art or C64 games at times -- this is no doubt completely intentional. But if you are looking for super-realistic graphics, don't come here.
Also in Week 6
