Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Nice graphics, quick thrill kind of gameplay, thinking through some of the puzzles takes some real thinking, fun in multiplayer

Weakness: People who don't like "cutsie" games might not like it, some of the puzzles are extremely hard

It's a fun game, sort of like Marble Madness, except with a monkey in a ball. Lots of minigames keep you interested, and some of the puzzles will have you scratching your head in how to figure them out. I liked it, for the quick thrill gameplay, and if you like that kind of game, you'll really like Super Monkey Ball.

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Good puzzles and lots of them. Lots of extras. Multiplayer.

Weakness: Eyestrain and annoying in-game ads.

Think Marble Madness in reverse, and with cute monkeys. In Super Monkey Ball, you maneuver a monkey in a rolly ball around an obstacle course, collecting bananas and making your way toward the exit. In actuality, you are moving the entire environment, not the monkey, but however you think about it, it works. It's like one of those labyrinths with a marble. It's extraordinarily simple and yet it...

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Excellent graphics.

Weakness: The techno-beat gets repetitive.

At first, this game would seem to be stupid. But it's a great party game. Easy to play, hard to master. You can play single player and multi-player. Super Monkey Ball 2 is a bit better.

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: You can't beat the premise

Weakness: weak soundtrack

I discovered this game and it's sequel in a double pack last year and just recently got around to playing it. Super Monkey Ball is one of those games I play every once in a while but will squeeze every last ounce of enjoyment possible from it. It has my ideal game design. It's easy to learn and the fun/challenge comes from being able to complete levels on skill and experience. I think Sega could...

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Innovative gameplay, well-designed tracks/arenas, great graphics

Weakness: Short single player mode and not enough variety in multiplayer.

This game is great for a weekend or weeklong rental. More than that, though, and you are wasting your time. The puzzles are fun and challenging, although the single player aspect of the game could have been longer. The multiplayer mini-games are great to play with your friends for a night or two. I would recommend picking up either Super Monkey Ball 2, also for gamecube, or Super Monkey Ball...

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Addictive, 4 player multiplay, good control & physics

Weakness: Gets extremely hard

Super Monkey Ball is kind of like Marble Madness brought into a 3D game and is done very well by Sega. You control a monkey in a ball with the GameCube's analog stick and will have to steer him though levels while collecting bananas and break the finish line before the time runs out without falling over the edge. The GameCube version of Super Monkey Ball also includes a a bunch of mini games...

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Addictive, fun, and full of variety.

Weakness: Gets hard quick.

What sort of games do you like? Puzzle? Action? Sports? Monkey Ball's got you covered. With a great main game and six fleshed-out minigames, you'll be playing Monkey Ball alone and with friends for a long time. The main game has you rolling a monkey in a ball through about 100 courses, from a starting point to a goal. These range from very simple to hard as all get out, and because of that,...

Super Monkey Ball

Strengths: Challange your control skill.

Weakness: Not really help to release pressure.

I would group this game with those you have to learn how to control the subject (monkey) well (e.g. Mario Kart, Crazy Taxi....etc) and for some minigames you have to quick press A botton for a min. Somehow I feel that it gets me nervous about not letting the monkey falling down from the floor in the air. But once you learn how to control it, it make you feel satisfied and you can enjoy the...

Super Monkey Ball

Sometimes a videogame comes out that makes gamers question what drugs the designers were on when they first thought of the idea. Sega's Super Monkey Ball for GameCube is such a title. The offering can loosely be called an action-puzzler, but that hardly describes it. The odd project plays and looks like a mixture of the classic Marble Madness turn 3D and doused in Sega craziness. And with both...
