The new installment to the Super Monkey Ball series has people left with mixed feelings...........
----------
There are good and bad points to this game, let me start with the good points:
- Good family game, it good for kids but adults can still enjoy the feel of this game.
- Simplicity, there are no Story modes like in Super Monkey Ball 2 or Boss Battles like in Banana Blitz, they keep it as simple as it could get.
- The challenge, some levels challenge you to the core. As you go higher the levels get harder. It's not completely easy like Touch & Roll.
- Animation/Graphics, good animation, like how the ball rolls, the monkey's expressions, etc.
- Music and Sound, the background music is amazing and catchy and the sound is also a good aspect.
- Other, Jam was a good addition to the game, he'll keep you laughing with his crazy antics. Collectibles were also a good addition. They keep you wondering how to achieve them.
-----
Now, the bad:
- Nightmarish Controls, some controls are just too painful to go through the whole game with, like the Wii Balance Board. That is just too much.
- Too short, Just 7 worlds of short levels, even Touch & Roll had more levels than this.....
- Camera Angles, most of the time, the camera doesn't follow you the way you want it, too. Could really be bad for tough levels.
- Other, I didn't like how you had to go through the credits sequence EVERY TIME you complete a world! And you can't skip them either, there was a lack of multiplayer games if you compare this game to Banana Blitz. They took out characters like YanYan and Doctor.

Overall, this was a good game in my opinion. There were some good points and bad points, but every game has them. This isn't the worst game out there. I think it's underrated. So all in all, a good game.
