Wow, just wow! Katamari Damacy is a masterpiece of game design and one of the most unique games I have ever come across. Everything in this game is weird and unique, from the intro to the title screen to the gameplay, but at the same time I can only say it is great and successful in doing so.

The game is extremely artsy and creative with beautiful design ideas. For example, the main menu to play the game is a planet on which your character walks and it really looks good and feels like. The sound design is a blast and the soundtrack... it's the greatest soundtrack ever!

The main gameplay is to roll, which is very exhilarating in a way and addicting. While the game only has a few maps compared to its sequel, they're all really big and independent levels will explore them in different manners, something I enjoyed much more than getting a different map every time. The way the game handles this makes you feel like you are progressing: from a small guy that can't do much to passerbies to a big ball crushing that one building you've been roaming around since the beginning of the game, it's something We Love Kamatari just didn't do.

I have no doubt that this is a timeless masterpiece.
