Katamari Damacy

[Kyle]

Holy shit. I have stumbled upon the most addictive, odd, and playable game ever. The storyline is insane...the gameplay is even weirder. Basically you're this little guy that rolls a sticky ball around to pick up ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in his path....you start out very small, only picking up objects off of a small desk or tables...but with time (even in a level) you can grow as big as a jetplane (even pick one up)...so yeah...apparently the whole reason for this is to restore the stars to the sky (don't ask) but my god....I can't stop playing it. Me and my girlfriend have been playing the same level for HOURS....just one of the TONS of levels.......man this is good...here's a screen shot.

Anyone know of an Australian release date?

[Kyle]

I tried looking it up and I'll definitely look into it more for you, sorry for the teaser if it isn't coming any time soon =)

I found something that mentioned the 12th of December. I suppose that's not too bad for Australia. :p

Actually I emailed the good ol' chaps at Namco and asked about the Australian release date, this is what they replied:
I'm sorry, but there is no information available at this time. Please check our website http://www.Namco.com for future updates.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Namco.
