Posted December 8, 2006 Playing monkey ball right now. It's pretty good. Single player is cool. Multiplayer games take a little getting used to. Overall, enjoying it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2006 Amazing game. Like many reviews have said, some of the mini games are shit and pointles. Also, the interface bugs me aswell. The few minigames that are worth playing and the main game itself is worth the whole price. Music's kinda annoying, but I can stand it. I turn my controller volume down when ever I play due to the noises coming from that game being irritating beyond belief. This game uses the Wii-mote for everything in this game. Although a good thing and shows the features it posseses are not put to waste, it gets rather annoying using some features in odd places. I'd rather use the pointer for the interface rather twist my hand to an un-natural place. 8/10, missing 2 because they spent too much time on crafting shit mini games that they didnt add enough depth into the good ones.

Posted December 8, 2006 I have to agree with you there. At first, I thought my Wiimote was horribly offcentre or something, but then I realised that you had to twist the mote. A bit puzzling, to be honest. It would have been much easier to have used the pointer to select characters and games. Still, this game rocks hard. I can't wait to play this with my mates when I go home for christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2006 This games uses the Wiimote great, because no toher games use it like this. It's fun coloured, weird, and rocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 This is my first monkey ball ever and the controls are pretty hard to get used to. TBH it's not my type of game b ut I'll give it more of a go. It really crazy. Im guessing mulitplayer will be pretty fun, single player isnt appealing to me much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 Takes a while to get used to the controls, not sure if I like the puzzles as much as the SMB1 and 2 (They seem more like "tracks" than puzzles if that makes sense) Am I right in thinking that cos I've got 2 Wiimotes I can only play 2 player even in minigames where you take turns? That sucks, Wiiports shows pass the pad can work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 Im on the Pirate world now, the sensitivity is givena bit of a boost on there. Well ahrd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 That second boss is a piece of piss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 Great game, yeah some of the mini games are shit, but some are awesome!! And the one player, although I wish the levels tilted more, seem like classic Monkey Ball. Great launch game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 I got this with launch, it was so very sucky that I went and traded it for the awesome Red Steel. In the face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 i am willing to bet with a my life without playing any of them that monkey ball is the better game lol. seriously how many tracks in monkey race and target? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 I am interested in this game but lots of you dont seem to be giving me good vibes. I loved Monkey Ball 1, 2nd was okay but single player was gimmicky. what would you say is the most fun launch game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 I havent played the single player game yet but im not that impressed with alot of the multiplayer games. The controls for most of the games are very twitchy but some of the games like Monkey Hurdles are a laugh because it keeps it simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2006 I just had a ru8n through some of the mini games, as i've been mainly playing the Main game. Snowboarding, target, landing, racing, dangerous course or whatever it is. are great. Fencing sucked.. bit unresponsive. Oh, and seesaw tilt wwas good fun. They all make great use of the controller. Good showcase really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
