Amazing. I suggest you check this ps2 game out. It's a weird one.
linky
You control a ball and as you roll over items that are smaller than you, they stick to the ball. As the ball grows bigger with the items you've picked up, you can pick up larger items. You are capable of picking up anything in the stage, if you are large enough. It's madness.

does it have any replay value? or do you not want to play it again after you beat it?

Best soundtrack I've heard for a while. It ranges from pure vocal tracks (like the main theme) to electronic shit that has a nice mego-pop aesthetic.
It starts getting good when your ball is larger scale, like rolling up buildings and whatnot.

This is a terrific game, one of my few favorites on ps2. It has lots of replay value I think because a) it's non-linear (Even though the levels are laid out the same each time you play them, the number of possible combinations of routes navigating them are immense so it's never the same game) b) even though can be fun simply in a toy-like-way, there's also extra tasks such as getting the katamari past a certain size. Even after that, you can always compete with your own largest sizes. There are 10 levels, each increasing in both the size scale (first one= pencils etc size, last one= building size) and time you have to reach the required size. So yeah, you generally have a time limit of around 10 minutes before the game will just end; you can't just keep going forever. There are also 10 (I think) different levels where your goal differs; instead of reaching some size you have to collect as much as possible of one certain item, or sometimes the biggest possible of a certain item. There are also hidden 'presents' in the game.
This game really feels like it's made of interacting polygons and operating in a way the system most naturally understands. If I ever made a 'current generation game' ..which I never will.. I'd probably evolve around something like this only make it more complex somehow but in the right way not the bs way. Any complex bullshit in your average game is pretty much chopped off in this one. The music is pretty nice but not what I thought it would be. There's singing in it and stuff.. I like most of it a lot though.

I got Ico too and am not very impressed with it so far. I almost always hate puzzles in games because 90 percent of the time the puzzle you get stuck on is some stupid problem of the game itself, such as having some stupid button combination move you were told of at the beginning then completely forgot about (god of war's stupid push box move)... and pushing BOXES in games... jesus christ... can someone think of something more original. There's lots of it in Ico and lots in god of war. God of war is a totally shitty game way to complex, in the wrong way, for its own good and too many flaws that get in the way of the fun. I got stuck in Ico on a rather early puzzle then just didn't even care anymore to waste time solving it. I'll eventually just find out how on the internet to see how stupid the solution was.

I was so impressed by the whole concept, before even playing the games, and upon hearing some mp3's, that I ordered "Katamari Fortissimo Damacy" (= Katamari Damacy OST) from cdjapan.co.jp.
It's truly a killer soundtrack. There's a couple of tracks that even sound like Plaid or Prefuse73. But most of it is simply undescribable!
Now, FINALLY, I also have both of the PS2 Katamari games to play (haven't started yet!) - incidentally, Ico too! - so I'll report back with a review; or maybe just random "ooh's and aah's"...

the series has finally ended because the creator is angry about namco wanting to milk it. he is very much against sequels and didn't even want to make we <3 katamari (though i'm glad he did). namco made the psp katamari without his involvement. then the creator threatened to quit so they discontinued the series. i'm personally glad since i can't wait to see what the next original ideas of his end up being.

i beat Katamary Damacy tonight actually. i don't even own a PS2 and i bought this game. in terms of just plain cool, this is the coolest most insane game i've ever seen. i went into a hysterical laughing frenzy as i started ravaging cities and picking up skyscrapers. had a borrowed PS2 so i finished it up tonight. i was suprised really at how short it was, though, especially as you start getting better at controlling the roll.
after the game i still want to get better percentages on my constilations and make the existing stars a bit bigger. bout the 3rd try, i got my Moon to 670 something meters. i want We Love Katamari pretty bad though, and i may just by Me & My Katamari for one day when i might come upon a PSP (even though thats the only game i'd want it for)

I've got my moon to about 1500 on Katamari Damacy. In the second game, I've rolled up the King and the Queen (2500M abouts). The second is the best for sure.

Do the really fast (supercharged) rolls in straight lines and don't go back for stuff. It wastes time.

oh man, I just rolled my first 1m+ star! I feel like the son of the King of the Cosmos! No wait - I am! This game is so incredible...
Also, I love the fact that if you fail, it simply says I have dabbled in minimalism, coz "prince is trendy". That's so amazing.
