You might wish you had a joy stick again.
This game, like Super Monkey Ball 2 has a story to it which involves a monkey in a purple coat which appears to be a pirate, steals a pair of Gold Bananas and you set up to each world of the game ranging from jungle to ocean finding the bananas from each one. Which eventually leads up to you meeting with this monkey in the final world. You can play as two new monkeys in this game too! Doctor who I believe is crazy and a girl who``s name I forgot.
Each Monkey now has different abilities! Some can jump higher than the others or can plow through some objects that are placed such as bumps!
This game has 50 mini-games whick picks up since you can`t play against your friends in story mode levels or any other levels. Some mini-games make you use the nun-chuck controller which is great but not if you want to buy another one for multi-player.
The Gameplay is still the same get your monkey to the end through a gate but with a new twist were in some levels you have to jump over objects! Thats right you can jump in this game! They also through in bosses for every world that posses your golden banana! The bosses weak points are pointed out be a giant pimple or spot on there body.
The controls in this game is what sets it apart from the other games in series! Tilting your Wii-Mote will cause the monkey you select to move in that direction! It sounds simple, but its very hard and at times won't respond causing you to fall of the stage and it can get pretty hard if your fighting a boss. Bosses can make you fall off the stage easily since the bosses attacks can be deadly! Jumping is down by tapping the A button. The jumping can make things harder and easier at thew same time! You can jump over some ledges providing short-cuts or you might have to jump onto a moving platform! But in the later stages of the game its ver hard and very frustrating. You can easily over accelerate and fall off the edge or just hit a little bump and go flying!
I don`t really care much about graphics but this game is a big enhancement over the other games in the series.
The camera angles follows you and turns when you turn which can lead to horrible places! If you get stuck behind a folding obstacle you won't see you but the thing itself and you WILL fall off the side.
Overall this is a great game and can show what the Wii can do! The controls can get pretty hard but I suggest that every Wii owner try this game or own it! You will have great fun by yourself or with your buddies! But if you hate time to time bad camera angles and you get frustrated don't buy it.
