PlayStation Network |genre = Third-person puzzle-action |modes = Single-player, multiplayer }} is a third-person puzzle-action video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2. It was first released in Japan and then later in North America. The game resulted from a school project from the Namco Digital Hollywood Game Laboratory, and was developed for less than $1 million. In designing ''Katamari Damacy'', the development team aimed to maintain three key points: novelty, ease of understanding, and enjoyment. The game's plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations, and Moon, which were accidentally destroyed by his father, the King of All Cosmos. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a ''katamari'' around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to people to mountains, until the ball has grown great enough to become a star. ''Katamari Damacys story, characters, and settings are bizarre and heavily stylized, rarely attempting any semblance of realism, though the brands and items used are based on those current in Japan during the game's production. Overall, ''Katamari Damacy'' was well received in Japan and North America. The game was dubbed a sleeper hit, and won several awards. ''Katamari Damacy'' inspired the development of other video games, and led to the release of seven sequels in Japan and other territories: ''We Love Katamari'' (PlayStation 2), ''Me & My Katamari'' (PlayStation Portable), ''Beautiful Katamari'' (Xbox 360), ''i Love Katamari'' (iOS, Windows Phone 7, Android), ''Katamari Forever'' (PlayStation 3), ''Katamari Amore'' (iOS), and ''Touch My Katamari'' (PlayStation Vita). ==Synopsis== The primary story in Katamari Damacy deals with the aftermath of the planet-sized King of All Cosmos' binge drinking spree that wiped out all the stars and other celestial bodies from the sky. The King (who appears to be chronically dissatisfied with his 5-cm-tall son's small size) charges the Prince to go to Earth with a "katamari"—a magical ball that allows anything smaller than it to stick to it and make it grow—and collect enough material for him to recreate the stars and constellations. The Prince is successful, and the sky is returned to normal.〔 A side-story follows the Hoshino family as the Prince works at his tasks. The father, an astronaut, is unable to go to the moon after it is wiped out by the King, and the daughter, whose name is Michiru, "senses" the Prince's work—she can feel when each constellation returns to the sky. Ultimately, the family, along with their house and town, are rolled up in the katamari that is used to remake the moon.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katamari Damacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
