We Love Katamari is a super fun puzzle-action video game for the PlayStation 2 console. It was made by a company called Namco. In Japan, it's known as Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy, which means "Everyone Loves Clump Spirit." This game is the exciting sequel to the original Katamari Damacy.

What is We Love Katamari?

We Love Katamari is a unique game where you control a small, sticky ball called a Katamari. Your goal is to roll this ball around different places. As you roll, the Katamari picks up objects smaller than itself. It starts small, maybe picking up paper clips and erasers.

How the Katamari Grows

The more items you collect, the bigger your Katamari gets. This means you can then pick up even larger objects! You might start with tiny things, but soon you'll be rolling up people, cars, buildings, and even entire islands. It's all about growing your Katamari as big as possible within a time limit.

The King of All Cosmos

The story of We Love Katamari is quite funny. The King of All Cosmos is a very powerful, but sometimes clumsy, ruler of the universe. In the first game, he accidentally destroyed all the stars and planets. He then sent his son, the Prince, to Earth to roll up Katamari balls to replace them.

Why the King Needs Help

In We Love Katamari, people on Earth have heard about the King's amazing work. They start asking him to create new things for them using his Katamari powers. So, the King sends the Prince and his many cousins to Earth again. They must roll up Katamari balls to fulfill these wishes.

Gameplay and Missions

Each level in We Love Katamari is a different mission. For example, you might need to make a Katamari big enough to become a new sun. Or you might have to collect as many specific items as possible, like flowers or animals.

Different Types of Levels

The game has many different types of challenges. Some levels focus on size, while others focus on collecting certain types of items. There are also levels where you have to avoid picking up certain things. This keeps the game exciting and fresh.

Playing with Friends

We Love Katamari also has a multiplayer mode. This means you can play with a friend! You can either work together or compete to see who can make the biggest Katamari. It's a great way to share the fun with others.

The World of Katamari

The game takes place in many different and colorful locations. You might roll through a school, a city, a farm, or even outer space. Each area is filled with unique objects to pick up.

Unique Art Style

The game has a very distinct and charming art style. The characters and environments are simple but very expressive. This makes the game feel like a playful cartoon.

Catchy Music

The music in We Love Katamari is also a big part of its charm. It has a very unique and upbeat soundtrack that mixes different styles. The songs are often quirky and memorable, adding to the game's fun atmosphere.
