This game will frustrate and confuse you before you even find out how to have fun with it.
Multiplayer gives you something to look forward to in this game. There are several types of games in the multiplayer modes including a fight game and a few race type games. The fight game has to be the most fun of the four games. Visually speaking, it is very hard to keep track of your player and you tend to just pound the controller in hopes of winning. It takes some time and the ability to track your monkey in a ball to under stand the object of the game. The race type games are interesting but also difficult to understand. The tutorials before you play each game do not help that much either.
The sounds of this game are very funny at first, but very quickly some of them become extremely annoying. For instance, the monkey ou, ee, ee, aa, ya yaing is very humorous and quite entertaining for the first four seconds. After that, you want to rip your ears off. I even quit reading the text so that I could get through the noise. The other sounds of the game lend very well to the actions of the game. I tried to mute the television and play the game as if it was a “silent move,” but the sound effects in the game are too important for you not to hear. They actually help you to complete actions in the game.
Over all, this game is quite dismal and I do not recommend anyone except a fan of Monkey Ball to play this game. Still, even being a fan of the game, you will get quite frustrated and probably want to chunk the game across the room or out the window if you are close enough. I guarantee you that this game is not worth 40 or even 30 dollars. By Adam Rouilllier
