Katamari Damacy

Katamari Damacy (Translated as "Clump Spirit")is the first game in the Katamari Series, and is a 3rd person action video game designed for the PlayStation 2. It was first released in Japan, then to South Korea and North America. It originated from a school project in the NAMCO Digitial Hollywood Game Laboratory, and was made for less than $1,000,000.

Gameplay
The game is played primarily with the analogue sticks. The player rolls around a ball (Known as a "Katamari") by moving both analogue sticks in the direction they want to move. When the ball comes in contact with objects smaller than itself, the object will stick to the ball. If the ball crashes into objects bigger than itself though, objects previously rolled up may come dislodged from the ball. The player is given a required size and time limit at the beginning of the stage in most cases, but in others might have more specific goals. (Such as rolling up specific objects, rolling up the largest of an object, or getting the Katamari to an exact size.) At the end of the stage, the ball is thrown up into the sky and becomes a star or a constellation.

Plot
At the beginning of the game, The Prince is taught how to roll a Katamari by his father, The King of All Cosmos. Later, The King goes on a drunk rage and destroys all the stars in The Cosmos. After he has finished, the King realizes the errors of his ways, and orders the Prince to fix it (With the reason that the Prince owes him his existence, so the Prince should start "repaying the debt".) by rolling Katamaris to be put up in the sky. Throughout the game, after completing levels, cutscenes take place viewing the Hoshino Family, showing us what human beings on Earth are seeing. Through most of the cutscenes, the children and mother in the family are traveling somewhere. The children seem to notice the Katamari chaos, while the mother is blatantly ignorant of its presence. In the last couple of cutscenes, it is revealed that they are traveling to watch their father go to the moon in a spaceship. The landing is cancelled, however, due to The Moon's absence. At the end of the game, a short cutscene will take place, showing the Hoshino family together on The Moon, and the son of the family will tell the player about how they did on the level, and how he and his family are enjoying their "lunar vacation". After the Prince has returned all the stars to the sky, and all of his Cousins have returned, the two of them celebrate and the game ends.
