Namco announced today that its PS2 exclusive action game Katamari Damacy has gone gold and will be available this September.
"Namco's 'rolling, sticking, never-stopping, ever-swelling clump of stuff that makes a star out of everyone and everything game' couldn't be more addictive, more eccentric, or more fun," said Rod Nakamoto, Executive Vice President of Research and Development for Namco Hometek Inc. "Katamari Damacy's easy-to-pick-up gameplay mechanics and humorous storyline are sure to appeal to people of all ages."
Ever wonder what it would be like to roll around and collect everything you touched in one massive heap? Well that's exactly the premise of Namco's strange action game Katamari Damacy. In it, players assume the role of the Prince of the Cosmos as he undertakes a quest to right the wrongs of his father who accidentally knocked the stars out of the sky. The only way to fix it is to roll around the world and collect as many items as possible in one gigantic clump. Both a single player story mode and two-player battle feature are included for the romp, and gamers will be able to accumulate hundreds of different items of various shapes and sizes.

Katamari Damacy features a single-player story mode and a two-player battle mode to allow for optimal ball rolling pandemonium and object collecting fun.

Katamari Damacy, rated 'E" for "everyone", retails for $19.99 and will be available in stores nationwide beginning the week of September 21, 2004.
