Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Exactly what I wanted

Wow, I can't believe there's so much in this game for only a small price! I mean I got Wii Play for about the same price and this beats it with 50 great and fun minigames for the family and also the main game which is very addicting for me and my 6 year old sister! It has great colorful graphics which makes you feel more into the game. It has lots of stuff which is great for multiplayer purposes! This game is so worth the low price! The games are so interactive and these are my top games.1. Monkey Wars - This is a great first-person shooter game and is really fun and addicting trying to shoot the different people and get cool weapons and stuff and is very colorful with 3 great platforms :)2. Monkey Race - Similar to Mario Kart with the same concept and has 6 great courses and is very fun.3. Disk Golf - Throwing a frisbee like you're actually doing it, and trying to hit a target... challenging but fun :)4. Monkey Snowboarding - I don't know why I like this game but it's kool and you snowboard with your Wii Remote with 3 different levels of snowboarding.5. Hammer Throw - In this game you twirl the Wii Remote and throw the hammer as far as you can... very fun with people :)6. Space Monkey Attack - Shooting arcade-style game, great for little boys and is very simple. Anyone could play!7. Racing Birds - This game is hilarious! Flapping your wii remote like wings... haha gotta love it! It is fun, especially with friends yet challenging!It really is a great game for you collection :)

The most important point from my review is this discovery: to exit a mini-game once you've started, press the + button and hold it down for about a second. We tried all kinds of things to get out of a game once we'd started, but it turns out that they designed it to work using the press-and-hold method, rather than the traditional just-press style. This is particularly useful during a game like "Monkey Bowling," where it's only after you've finished the third frame that you realize that the game is going to keep going--and with 4 players, will take about as long as being in an actual bowling alley. It's nice to have the freedom to quit.My basic impression of the game is in agreement with the other negative reviewers. I've never played other games in this series, so it doesn't have that going for it.The one-player game is okay but really didn't maintain our interest.Some of the mini-games are fun--they're certainly interesting--but the controls are quite difficult to figure out, as are the objectives of some of the games. We found ourselves carefully reading the oddly presented instruction screens for longer than it actually took us to play the games, but we also found that we generally couldn't skip that step and just figure it out on our own. I quickly explained the control scheme of the game "Dangerous Route" to my friends, only to discover after playing for 15 or 20 minutes that they had painstakingly (but successfully) been doing it wrong--rotating the remote 360 degrees in their hands while pointing it horizontally at the screen, instead of simply aiming the arrow to direct the monkey ball. In many cases, we gave up on other games before struggling that much.Granted, there are some fun games: the quirky "Paper Sumo," the "Hammer Throw," the deceptively simple "Jump-Rope," and the momentum challenge "Hurdle Race," to mention a few. (I won't bother to endeavor to list the ones we avoid--it would include most of the others.)In the end, we've had a lot more fun with Boom Blox, which we picked up at the same time. More intuitive, more varied, more fun.

I have really enjoyed playing this game, the parts of it that I have been able to play. The main game plays very smoothly and is of pretty high quality. However, I purchased it for the mini-games and they deliver a lack luster performance. It is not that the games are bad, they controls don't work well. I thought the wack-a-mole would be fun for my kids, but I can't even make it work consistently. I would say that about 70% of the mini-games are not playable. Let me qualify that... After giving them the ol' college try, I became frustrated with the erratic nature of the control scheme. Snow boarding is great along with some of the races. Maybe you will be more adept than I.

I got this for my son at Christmas because it's a game he really wanted. If your child is younger easily frustrated, this is not for you. Some of the mini games, and even the main part, is a little hard for my 5 year old. We spend a lot of time hearing "I can't do it" or "can you help me" while he plays.

Super monkey ball for wii is a pretty fun game. Definitely a must to own. It has over 50 games ranging from 1 - 4 players. Some games require nun-chuck, but not all. Games include: darts, disk golf, sheep herding, boxing, jump rope, monkey smith, fruit basket, sling shot, and so many more. This is a great party game. The only down fall is if you don't have enough nun-chucks for multi player, as I only have one. :)

It was Delivered nearly a year before the order was placed. So THAT is wat I call fast delivery service. Anywho. When the game showed up (within the two week delivery time) This game is good for kids, and I even try to use it for eye hand cordination for the 4yr old. Its entertaining and fun for all. Not the same as the original one I played. Kid like it.

My kids love this game... there are lots of mini games and many people can play at once, or they can play alone.The only problem I have with this game is that sometimes the remotes don't seem to register... they have to have a full charge or you have to be pretty close to the sensor bar.I have actually purchased this game for birthday gifts for a couple of kids as well. Good value for price!!

The disk has a weird colour haze on the back but no matter what I have tried , it will not read disk. My son is so disappointed , he waited a while i has to drive to buy new remotes with bin chucks too. Unhappy & disappointed...

This game is so much fun! It arrived in fantastic condition and it works perfectly. On top of all that, it arrived weeks early! Really awesome purchase, and highly recommend.

I've loved the Monkey ball series for awhile now, and this one didn't disappoint. The classic gameplay is still solid, the motion controls are easy enough to get used to, and they've added a LOT more minigames. 50 of them, for 1-4 players. A solid game overall, with fun, strategy, and enough minigames to keep you busy long after the main game.

Not a bad game. Some of the mini games are difficult to complete properly due to inconsistencies with the controller. There is no option to exit practice mode and you are forced to restart the game.

My son was happy with it as many other games. Was happy to get it since I couldn't find it in any store.
