Katamari Damacy with Clare

Yesterday, Clare and I were discussing Katamari Damacy which is a game that she played the entire time during game play and previously during other sessions. Clare likes playing Katamari Damacy and is determined to reach level 5. She likes this game because it is much different then other games in that it balances the unrealistic and realistic in the game play. For example, she explained that a player can pick up a cow which is unrealistic, yet in the game you have to be bigger then the cow to pick it up which makes it more realistic. She told me that she would rather master this game then play others and then go back occasionally to Katamri Damacy. She shared with me how she thinks it is cool that the player can pick up flying objects when they are not close to the ball. Our conversation was interesting and I suspect she had plenty more to share about her ideas.
