Fun, arcade-like game with an old-school feel!
User Rating: 7.9 | Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz WII
I got Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz at launch with my Wii. It has been a very solid title and I am glad I decided to get this game at launch. GRAPHICS: Nice clean colorful graphics. Animation is good, and character and art design is varied and good as well. There's a couple of jaggies here and there and the textures could have been alittle more impressive.SOUND: Great music and overall sound quality in the game. i could find no faults with the catchy tunes and arcade like audio. GAMEPLAY: The gameplay in the single player mode has a learning curve but it is very addictive. It really reminded of playing NES and SNES games back in the day, in that some parts were hard but you kept on wanting to beat it and when you finally do you'll be happy as heck. The minigames are a great addition and much welcomed considering that playing with people is what the Wii is best at. Some of the minigames are hard to control but everyone has their favorites. There is a good couple of dozen minigames that I like. I even play this on my own sometimes, when I get up earlier and have 20-30 minutes to spare, it's fun to try and beat your old high scoresVALUE: Single player is alittle short, but this is very much one of those games where you want to beat your old scores or times. The minigames make this a game that you will probably want to always keep around, particularly when you are showing off your Wii to someone who is not familar with it. Overall, the value for this game compared to most games is above average.
