Amazingly enjoyable game, if you have competitive friends to play with.

User Rating: 8.5 | Super Monkey Ball Deluxe PS2
This game is great, especially seeing how there is no violence. Which seems like a must for games to be in the top of the gaming world anymore. This game is great for anyone that just wants to have some fun with their best friend, little brother or sister, or their child (thank goodness I don't have one yet). The puzzle mode is more for a single player but 2 can enjoy the puzzle mode as well. If you havn't played or know how monkeyball is played I'll tell you what it is all about. Basically you are a monkey inside a ball...go figure. You use your analog stick to roll your monkey through colorfully designed puzzles with holes, ramps and bumps to try and throw you off. If this is not hard enough there is also a time clock to keep you moving. The best part of the game though (for me) is the many different party games from billiards to dogfights, and much more. This is the part of the game you can keep playing and playing which makes it a great buy. Overall just plain fun for everyone. As long as you have the patience and skill to get through the puzzle...if not there are the party games.
