"the most unusual and original game to hit PlayStation2"
"Katamari Damacy won the gold prize at the 2004 Japanese Industrial Design Promotion Awards, the first time a video game has won this award.[8] It also won the award for "Excellence in Game Design" at the 2005 Game Developers Choice Awards,[9] and G4techTV awarded Katamari Damacy its "Best Innovation" prize in its G-Phoria of that year. "
The first sequel, "We Love Katamari", was released in Europe too due to the "sleeper hit" status & cult following of the original.
