Second installment:
So as I said before this game is extremely addicting. If I hadn't physically torn myself away from the console I'd probably still be playing it right now. However, this is all the more reason that I want to get a copy of it for home. The amount of things that you can roll up is redicioulous. You have goals for each level about the size and you have to get it that big with in a certain time limit. If you are somewhat skilled at rolling stuff up however, this isn't too difficult. However, the fact that if you have time left and you've already reached your size goal, you can still keep rolling stuff was a good addition. I got to a level where the size level was 3 meter (I also forgot to mention that it is in the metric system which is also interesing) diameter and by the time that time was called I had found a town and gotten it as big as 5 meters! Another intersting thing is that if you pause the game a little text and a picture comes up that says "Your katamari is as a big as (some number) of these." (By the way, katamari is your big ball of stuff that you're rolling.) And not only do you make stars but you are also make entire constellations as well. However the intersting part about this is that you don't roll up random things. You have to roll up specific things like crabs, swan eggs, or crowns. Some times this is paired with building up the size of your katamari to get more crowns or other times it has to do with just finding them.
The music is very interesting. By itself, it seems almost creepy and surreal at ther same time but when paired with the gameplay it just works. Some of the lyrics seem to match up with little things in the story line. Speaking of the storyline, the storyline still continues to be extremely wonky but still entrigueing.
Until next time,
Fuzzylombax Out!

I had heard about this game for a really long time but have never had a chance to play it. It's basiclally a game where the entire point is to roll a big ball of stuff. The bigger it gets the more stuff you can pick up untill you can pick up cats and dogs, signs and people, and apparently even buildings and the ground. It is an amazing concept of a game that I think pushes some of the boundries of what we percieve to be games. A mindless activity of rolling a ball of stuff turns into something completely and utterly addicting. The more I play it the more I want to play it.
The story is weird. The king of cosmos destoried all the stars in a drunken euphoria and now you have to remake them by pick up lots and lots of stuff. There is a back story with cutscenes as well that follows two kids and their mom that doesn't listen to them. It isn't need for the game but it just adds to the weirdness.
