This Monkey Ball never quite gets rolling....and when it does all you can do is cry.

Let me just say that in my opinion and experience with this title that I HATE THIS GAME! That being said why do I? I loved the first 2 Monkey Ball games on the GC. They were great fun. This game however, not so much. First let's talk about the party games. Banana Blitz has 50 party games...half of which are fun...and most of which don't actually have the Monkeys in their balls. Next comes the single player mode. I'll give it this, the story is quite possibly the most amusing, and better stories Super Monkey Ball has had where a giant space pirate gorilla steals the monkeys golden bananas. Now story mode doesn't start off too bad, in fact the first 4 worlds were actually fun, from the jungle to the ice world. However, it quickly wears off when it ends up becoming one of the most horrible, uncontrollable experiences you'll ever have. The smallest mistake can send you careening down to your death. Obstacles, small platforms, etc. serve the level to make it almost impossible to get passed without dying multiple times. You need a steady hand and catlike reflexes for this game. Also the boss fights are ridiculous. They aren't even hard because not only do they have "hit me here" spots but they also point them out to you! The funniest is the final space pirate gorilla who you literally have to hit in the ass. There is some decent music if you aren't busy listening to yourself scream, your monkey scream, and that damn announcer who yells fall out every time you die. In all this wasn't the Super Monkey Ball I know nor wanted to play ever again.
