How disturbing: Tornado is kind of familiar

Posted Sep 17th 2007 12:10PM by JC Fletcher

In order to clean up the mess caused by a ~~drunken galactic king~~ evil galactic prince, the tiny ~~protagonist~~ protagonists of ~~Katamari Damacy~~ Tornado must ~~roll up~~ pick up lots of stuff, including trees and buildings, in a big ~~ball~~ tornado. As you pick up more stuff, your ball tornado increases in size, allowing you to pick up bigger stuff.

Of course, Katamari Damacy didn't have adorable furry characters (to its credit), and it didn't require players to constantly spin in a circle to generate momentum. Other than that, the two games look pretty similar. But if Tornado is a well-executed ripoff, we'll probably still be interested. We are slaves to rolling-stuff-up gameplay.
