I'm afraid that I'm not really qualified to answer that question. Due to being poor and a non-functional game-addict for most of my life, I have thus far deliberately played relatively little in the way of home video console games.

I like what I like, and that's *not* all of these stupid martial arts and commando fighter variations that all the big game manufacturers seem to be pumping out by the gross these days.

Katamary Damacy is truly infantile - and I can't stop playing it!!! I compulsively want to roll over everything while singing along with the equally addicting soundtrack. I liken it to that South Park "Chimpokomon" episode, where Stan's parents are dumbfounded while watching Chimpokomon on TV, finding it to be irritatingly indiscernible, yet Stan's dad still admits, "...but, I want to buy them all!"

Don't be too surprised if the sequel to Katamary Damacy brain-washes us all into commandeering fighter jets to bomb Pearl Harbor.
