2.0 out of 5 stars Buy one of the older Monkey Ball games instead, February 27, 2010

This review is from: Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll (Video Game)

I have always been a huge fan of the Monkey Ball series. Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for the Gamecube are two of the best games ever, in my opinion. Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz for the Wii was a great game too, although not quite as great as the previous entries in the series. After Banana Blitz, I had high expectations for this game. I'm sure you can guess by my two stars that I was sorely disappointed. The balance board controls are a complete waste of time, and when you play the Wii Remote there are tons of bizarre little heads placed on the course to make it more difficult. The courses are completely unimaginative. They are more frustrating than enjoyable or challenging. And to add insult to injury they have only included about 70 levels, compared to the 100-150 that are typical for the series. And why does Sega continue to include dozens of ridiculously shallow and unplayable mini games with the Monkey Ball series? Do not buy this game. If you are looking for a challenging Monkey Ball game for the Wii, pick Banana Blitz instead. It is only about 20 bucks and a much better game than this one. Or even better, pick up Monkey Ball 1 or 2 for the Gamecube and play them on your Wii. This game doesn't come close to the greatness of the other Monkey Ball games (with the obviously exception of the terrible Super Monkey Ball Adventure). It is obvious that Sega is incapable of improving upon the series so (sadly) they should just quit before they make another travesty of a game like this one.

After playing the other MonkeyBall game, my daughter wanted this game for Christmas. She was very disappointed. After each level, the game kicks into a credit loop that (apparently) there is no way out of. Sorry, but very few kids have any interest in who wrote and contributed to the game. She gave up on it after a few hours. Skip this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars I know how to skip the credits!!, March 4, 2011

This review is from: Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll (Video Game)

The most annoying thing about wii Super monkey ball step & roll is living through the credit sequence @ the end of each world. My 6 year old, though, showed me how to skip the credits! It's 1-2-A. Push 1, keep it pressed. Then press 2, and keep them both pressed. Then A & hold all 3 for a few seconds.

This cheat upped my review from a 3 to a 4 for sure!! Kids love it (4 & 7 now).
