Jenkins, you ignorant slut. Apparently there is a lone soul out there who absolutely hates Katamari Damacy. Now, I realize that reviews are opinions, and that opinions can never be wrong. But let me propose one exception to that axiom: Opinions can be wrong if, and only if, your name is Jevon Jenkins, and you're talking about Katamari Damacy.

The bottom line? Let us put this one out of its misery quickly. Good graphics? Nope. Good audio? No way. Good gameplay? Gimme a break. Lots of fun? Sure, as long as you are NOT playing it, at least very long. Replay value? Nada. You add all of these facts together and what do you get? One "sucky" game. Hey, sometimes you just gotta tell it like it is. It earns one and a half GiN Gems, and believe me, that is being extremely nice. Sure, Japan might embrace this quirky title, but U.S. gamers are probably just going to call it extremely lame.

I could go on about the slipshod writing, the obnoxious just-between-you-and-me tone or the fact that Jenkins idiotically claims at one point that it is his duty as a reviewer to be UN-biased, but I won t. Instead I ll leave you with this gem of a tagline about Jenkins:

Jevon Jenkins enjoys all types of games, especially those where the programmer's imagination is evident. He can be reached at : jevon64@hotmail.com.
