Is it still worth playing?

Namco's 2004 puzzle action game for the PlayStation 2, directed by Keita Takahashi and never officially released in Europe. The King of All Cosmos has destroyed the stars and the Moon, and his five centimeter son the Prince rolls katamari, sticky balls, to rebuild them, steering with two analog sticks. Objects smaller than the katamari stick to it, while larger ones are hurdles until it grows. In Make A Star mode you grow it to a target diameter within a time limit. Stages start small, with tacks on a desk, and get bigger, up to desk lamps, with different goals such as collecting a type of object. The adventure ends with a katamari big enough to envelop the moon, and a two player split screen mode is included. One idea, a sticky ball that grows, drives every stage, so the scale of the rooms keeps changing, and that still keeps it fresh today.
