Customer Reviews of Super Monkey Ball

Excellent Game
My family enjoys the Mario Party games, and are always looking for games that are similar in gaming style. This is a really comparable game with a lot of interesting ideas. There are many ways to play each with benefits. <

>There is regular play which is much like the old "Marble" game, piloting a ball up and down slopes, across narrow passages, until you reach the goal. It gets harder as you go higher in stages. In this method of play you can earn points to unlock more games such as bowling. <

>In party mode, you can race, fight, and play monkey target (my personal favorite). Monkey target is rolling your ball down a hill, and then taking off for flight at the end of the ramp. Then you navigate the ball through the air trying to reach one of the targets. Close the ball when you think you have good aim, and hope you stay on receiving points for where you landed on the target. <

>Definately a good game for a group of people, and entertaining enough to hold a solo player's interests.

not for kids who want to win
I had never heard of the Gamecube title called Super Monkey Ball before I walked into my friend's bedroom to find it sitting on the shelf. I proceeded to inspect the game case and eventually realized my friend was actually playing the game at the time. So I sat down and watched him for a bit before he eventually asked me if I'd like a go. I said sure and within 24 hours I owned this mother of a gem. <

>If you've never played this game or it's sequel, you are missing out on some serious fun. <

>For starters, there is a pretty good amount of things to do in this game, from the basic story mode, which is insanely difficult for the most part, to the mini-games, like bowling and flying. The games are fun and addictive, espescially with a friend or two. You will find yourself going round after round, rolling down a huge ramp only to be shot off the end and launched into the clear blue sky. You then open your ball up and use it as a glider to navigate your monkey through the air and try to land of score specific targets floating in the water. If you miss, you fall in the water and get nothing except a whining monkey, who is also drowning for a brief period of time. <

>I can't really say too much about this game that isn't just praising the fun level of it. There really is no story, you are just a group of monkeys and for some reason they are in balls. I really don't know the story behind that. <

>So go out and buy this game, or have a swarm of angry, monkey-toting balls on your hands...wait a minute, that doesn't sound right...
