3 Star Rating  "Looks fun...and that's where it ends."2008-08-24
- Reviewed By Anonymous
I'm an 18-year-old college student...not a kid. Just for the record.

At first, my cousin and I were having a lot of fun with the minigames. We were gettting a little sick of Mario Party, so new games were definitely more entertaining at the moment. Some games were fun, others were just obnoxiously difficult. But what they all have in common is that the directions are TERRIBLE!!!! Before every game, you're told how to control everything, but not much is revealed about how the game actually WORKS. So you can control it no problem, the challenge is figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do!
Also, some of the games really aren't "mini"games at all - the jigsaw puzzle was like nails on a chalkboard to watch...my cousin and her friends standing inches from the TV trying to put together miniscule *moving* pictures was less than amusing. Golf was equally annoying - I had to try to hit my ball several times before the stupid thing actually registered my movements.
I can't say much about the main game, except that it got boring after three stages.
Easily said, I was frustrated at the game and myself for buying the game. I'm sure with practice, these might be fun, but then it won't be fun at parties with people who haven't had time to practice.

Well I rented Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz because I havent played SMB in a while. This game was not to my liking at all because with the wii it is a lot more complicated to manuver with controler. I would not buy this game
 
4 Star Rating  "50 mini games worth 20 alone, though not more"2008-06-10
- Reviewed By tantraseeker
here's my list about the game & about the controls more importantly:

most games have only 1 or 3 levels, only rare few have 5, only about 12? use the nunchuck, you can choose left or right handed.

Super Monkey Ball (MB) 50 mini games -
(almost all games require steady hand as most only want small movements or you will totally lose control/aiming ability):
Alien Attack (hovercraft, very hard to control, cute), Asteroid Crash (shooter, addicting, over too fast), Banana Catch (over sensitive control), Banana Thief (cute arcade, difficulty registering my jumps), Bug Balance (balance, small movements only, cute), Dangerous Route (like marble madness, top view track, skill), Disk Golf (Frisbee/golf, fun, but aiming is erratic), Fish Catcher (spear underwater, cool), Free Throw (basketball 5 baskets far away view, cute/easy), Frog Ball (horrendous aiming control), Fruit Basket (little issue registering middle basket, otherwise easy/boring), Hammer Throw (like M&S Olympics cute/fun), High Wire Act (very sensitive controls, boring/simple), Home Run Derby (like Wii baseball batting practice, good controls, addicting), Hovercraft Battle (same control, bumper cars style), Hovercraft Race (same control hovercraft but get flags), Hurdle Race (like M&S Olympics, addicting/fun, too short), Jigsaw Puzzle (cute, turning pieces can be a pain), Jump Rope (simple/cute/easy), Keepy up (bounce MB on bat like Arkanoid, addicting), Monkey Bowling (oversensitive controls, frustrating), Monkey Boxing (great first person feel, very cute), Monkey Darts (decent control, cute), Monkey Fencing (just like M&S Olympics in looks/control), Monkey Golf (too broken to bother), Monkey Race (just like Mario kart w/items), Monkey Snowboard (snowman obstacles, fun/simple), Monkey Squash (more like racquetball, camera is behind both players which isn't as fun), Monkey Target (land right spot, boring), Monkey Wars (awesome FPS like laser tag), MonkeySmith (hit metal right direction, simple/boring, last set broken), Numbers (click on randomly moving billiard balls in # order or random, brain age style, fun/addicting), Paper Sumo Fighter (use remote to push, hard to aim), Paraglider (land correctly, hard controls, boring), Racing Birds (through rings, great graphics, fun), Red light-Green light (move like M&S Olympics, simple/cute), Ring Toss (simple/cute), Rock-Paper-Scissors Attack (cute idea /helmet & hammer after win/loss, very fast play, hard to see hands), Scoop the Goldfish (boring, hard to control), Seesaw Ball (balance seesaws to drop MB to ground, cute, fun), Shepherd (control dog to herd sheep into barn, oversensitive, boring), Simon Says (w/2 flags, addicting, brain age style), Sling Shot (fling MB, great controls, fun), Space Monkey Attack (Galaga style, fun, easy), Spaceship Landing (boring), Treasure Submarine (arcade, fun idea, hard to control), Trombone (guitar hero style, way oversensitive controls), UFO Capture (cute, tiny movements), Whack-a-Mole (fun, though sensitive control), Yacht Sailing (hard to turn, but good graphics & watch out for sharks, cute)

Great Games: asteroid crash, home run derby, hurdle race, keepy up, monkey boxing, monkey darts, monkey race, monkey snowboard, monkey wars, numbers, racing birds, seesaw ball, simon says, sling shot, space monkey attack, treasure submarine, ufo capture, whack-a-mole

Ok Games: bug balance, dangerous route, disk golf, fish catcher, free throw, jigsaw puzzle, jump rope, monkey squash, red light-green light, ring toss, rock-paper-scissors attack, yacht sailing

you can get a total in-depth word documnet from GameFAQs from knuckles_sonic8 who did a great job & is more honest which games are really broken/issues & which just require skill/steady hand. tells you everything, name, description, fun factor, game style, how many players, nunchuck needed, advice for better score/how to play, problems/issues w/the game & how to avoid them if can be avoided.
 
3 Star Rating  "So Much Fun - Until it gets IMPOSSIBLE!!!"2008-05-05
- Reviewed By boneheadp
The Wii controller makes this entry in the Monkey Ball series - Soooo much harder - but you get over that, and learn how to adjust - but then the levels start getting near impossible to beat. A few I only beat through luck after the 80th or so try... For such a fun game, it's unfortunate how hard they made it.

I checked an online guide, and apparently to unlock some of the later worlds - you have to beat the entire game without "continuing" - huh??? Yeah I don't think I'll ever have the patience or time to do that - but the first 8 or 9 levels were a lot of fun for my wife and I... just be ready to get VERY ANGRY here and there :)

Side note - the mini games are a let down, we got bored (and frustrated) after only trying a few of them...
But that might be an unfair review as there are still 37 or so to try...
 
4 Star Rating  "Not for beginners / South paws"2008-04-13
- Reviewed By User: A3GS7OZXUEW48R
The objective of this game is to guide a rolling 'monkey ball' through a range of obstacles (slopes, stairs, gaps, bridges etc) through a series of passages. The levels are vibrant and very colorful. Wii motion controls are cleverly used and amazingly nice and intuitive. Be careful not to fall off the edge and fight a boss at the end of each one of the ten levels. The levels get progressively difficult and quite challenging (some very difficult, esp. the bosses). To add to it, there is a time limit on levels. You may get frustrated if you are an average gamer or beginner.

The game also has 50 mini games of varying difficulty and goals - most with simultaneous multi-player capability. The variety is so much that you'll always like something. You dont have to do anything to unlock these games. You can play them just from the mainmenu even w/o playing the main game. A lot of these are good fun (bug balance, hurdles race, snow surfing, racing, banana thief etc). Surprisingly, a major disadvantage is that there is no adjustment for left handers (at least that I could find!). So, I didn't like playing baseball, golf etc.

Bottomline: Main game can be frustrating for beginners. Huge variety of mini-games.

Surprisingly, for some games, the wii motion controls are not so smooth/intuitive. You really need very tight hands. So, I didn't like playing golf and a few other games.

Bottomline: Main game can be frustrating for beginners. Huge variety of mini-games.
 
4 Star Rating  "A Solid Entry in the Monkey Ball Series"2008-03-09
- Reviewed By lotus_scrum
I see so many reviews here stating that this game is too hard, frustrating etc. Honestly, most games of this type are challenging but that is what makes them fun. Sure they have changed some of the games (ie..boxing etc) but it still maintains the classic monkey ball races but this time I find they are more natural in the way you control the monkey ball, with the wii remote. Its quite fun actually and sure the game has its challenges but if it was too easy people would only gripe about that.

Honestly I bought this for my son and he is 5 years old. He blew through the game (mini games included like he did through Super Mario Galaxy) and highly enjoys this game quite a bit as it has quite a bit of replay value for him with all of the levels this game offers plus the party games. Sure he gets frustrated with a few levels from time to time but with patience and trying again he beats the level and is excited to get to the end level boss.

I have always thought that the Super Monkey Ball series wasn't for everyone, but it is a solid title and the changes can be a little odd compared to the old series but they obviously decided to update it for the Wii this time around and it works! The controls are very tight and you usually only fall off of areas due to user error not control issues.

This isn't Mario or Donkey Kong but has it's own loyal following. Even newer players can find alot to enjoy here if they don't get too easily frustrated by puzzle/racing games.
 
4 Star Rating  "Fun game, looks nice, but can be very frustrating"2008-03-04
- Reviewed By User: A3GX5B9WXQPUD8
If you've played the previous monkey ball games, then you're familiar with the frustration factor that is always a part of monkey ball. Aside from that, I found the game a lot of fun to play. The levels look very nice, and smooth but sensitive controls.

This is the kind of game you have to just put down for a while and come back to, because it can be very difficult and require trial and error. That being said, it is a classic and I recommend it for your Wii library for any age.

If you've played monkey ball before, expect more of the same plus these improvments:

- The levels are much smoother and detailed

- You can now make your ball jump

- The different monkey characters have different sized balls which can have a huge difference on some levels

- Levels are arranged into worlds, each with 8 levels. No more beginner, intermediate, advanced.

For me, the games are not much fun. My six year old likes them a little more but says most are "Boring". I am glad I rented this, because I cannot see playing these games for more that two weeks.
 
4 Star Rating  "Frustrating Fun!"2008-01-08
- Reviewed By User: A3L2SG1W8TWBTY
Bought this game today and we've been enjoying it all day. We got through the first few worlds fairly quickly. Perhaps that's because we're used to the Wii remote especially in Mercury Meltdown which is a LOT more challenging than this game. Overall it's just really cute, nice music, cute levels, a bit frustrating, but very engaging. It's one of those games that I like to pop in after getting frustrated w/ adventure games like Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider. One star off for the mini games, we tried a few of them and they're not interesting and hard to control.
