It's kind of unusual that I manage to both beat and review two or more video games very closely to each other, with the exception of when I first joined here. Thankfully, circumstances allowed me to find and buy this game for relatively cheap, so I could see whether it was a good video game or not. Thankfully, this video game is really cool where it counts! While the graphics themselves haven't aged well in the past ten years, its still pretty decent by Nintendo DS standards. The music, the sounds, and the controls are all pretty solid, as you take control of Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, and occasionally Moto-Moto in various fight scenarios, across six different levels filled with different, challenging stages. There are also different pinball boards you can play, and collecting all the scattered monkeys across the stages will help to unlock higher multipliers and different features that can be used in the pinball games. There's also the option of traveling through highly difficult side-scrolling missions with the penguins, but that's thankfully not necessary in order to actually complete the game. While the enemies and occasional bosses themselves aren't that hard to beat, sometimes getting through the stage itself can be quite challenging. Thankfully, you technically don't DIE in this game, even if you lose all your health or fall into a raging river, or lava, or down a deep pit. You just get warped back to the last checkpoint you passed, although you will have to collect all the bottle-caps that appear after the checkpoint mark, you won't have to find and rescue any monkeys that you've already saved before. This is a pretty decent, challenging video game, and it's worth a play if you own a Nintendo DS, or a Nintendo 3DS system. Enough said, true believers!
