Beautiful Katamari is on it's way out for Xbox 360, and there is no easy way for me to explain the game.. So I took a blurb of the storyline from IGN's video review:
"You're a prince, and you roll around a katamari.. or a ball.. and you collect objects. The point is to restore the universe, but actually who cares what the point is; the game doesn't make any sense, and that's one of its main attractions."
Did you catch that? The game makes no sense. I watched IGN's video footage and all I can say is that yes, the game is complete nonsense. You're a little Prince, and you have to somehow save the universe by rolling around this ball collecting objects; starting small with things like stamps or bottle caps, and eventually moving to things like cars, fences and even people. Quite literally nothing is beyond your reach.
Watch out Grandma, the Prince does not discriminate.
But strangely enough, I would still give this game a try. I want to see how expansive the game can really get. It has an Xbox live version which allows players to compete against each other for... picking things up? I have to say I'm very curious, but I don't see myself going through a lot of effort to get my hands on this one.

This has been on the PS2 for a while and it's a pretty trippy and fun game. Also it changes the way you see the world. As my friend Bill says you start looking around you thinking 'i could totally roll that up.'
