Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii)

I brought this for someone else has I’ve had 1 for years. Brilliant and gives us hours of fun

Super Monkey Ball : Banana Blitz comprises two very different modes. The single player game, much like Marble Madness and true to it's GameCube heritage, and the new multi-player party games, which attempt to capture the spirit of Wii Sports in providing quick and simple gameplay for all the family.Despite offering around 60 unique party games, the multi-player modes left much to be desired. Between myself and a few friends, we managed to find just two games with any kind of appeal (namely the Sheep Herding and Alien Abduction). The rest seemed crude or uninspired. A few were tedious to control correctly, or seemed broken and unintelligible, like the Simon Says mini-game. The efforts between those two extremes appeared to work and were easy enough to follow, though they seemed largely void of any fun. The Frisbee Golf and Frog Hopping games were so dull that we abandoned any efforts to enjoy them, literally within seconds. For the most part, the party games were crude and difficult to enjoy, though they may hold some appeal for a much younger audience.The single player game is enjoyable enough. The objective being to roll the Monkey of your choice (encased in a ball), around a maze toward a goal, whilst collecting as many bananas as possible before the timer runs out. It's well presented, charming in it's own innocent way and it does what it sets out to do with admirable competence. Though I can't help but wonder how much better this part of the game could have been, had the developers invested just a little more time and effort to boost replay value.There's a significant focus on completing mazes within a certain time and plenty of scope for competition between friends in this area, but the game doesn't even try to capitalize on this. How about setting us some bench-mark times to aim for, huh? How about preset gold, silver and bronze record times we should be aiming to beat? How about bonus scores for collecting every banana on a stage? How about making these targets visible on the level select screen, to encourage replay value? How about multi-player modes where players take it in turn to compete against one another's times? How about a maintaining a proper, detailed high-score table? Hell, how about multi-player split screen, huh? Competitive and even cooperative multiplayer sets of levels?The potential is so much greater than the developer has catered for. Especially with the multi-player focus on other parts of the game. It's such a shame that this was not carried through into the main campaign.Alas, none of these opportunities are catered for and although I enjoy the single player game and see so much untapped potential in it, I can't help but conclude that Super Monkey Ball : Banana Blitz is simply not work the asking price.

If you're a casual gamer or you have a bunch of friends at home, that want to play something, then this game is good for that.Don't expect much more. It's allways the same...But it's funny to tilt the remote to control the monkey.So, it's good for kids, party with friends and casual gamming but not good enough for guys that really like games.But, still, I like it.

i bought this game after playing a similar game at a friends house. i bought it so i had something to do in my spare time to try and complete all levels, instead my boyfriend started playing it more than me and has since completed the game. excellent game would recommend to everyone.

The game came on time but is not in ''VERY GOOD'' condition (as listed). the game is playable but stutters every now and then because of the scratches on the surface.

A fun game to play with family.

Having been an avid fan of Monkey Ball on the Gamecube, I bought Monkey Ball for the Wii with the same enthusiasm, but what a let down!The whole format is ridiculously confusing, and the mini games take longer to load than to actually play. The controls do not act at all as you direct them to, and it is all just hopelessly frustrating.One HUGE let down is the lack of Monkey Target, which should be a game in its own right! One platform is just not enough on this version. Monkey Target is amazing and by far the best element of the whole Monkey Ball business!Only redeeming feature is Ai-Ais face in the skipping challenge which gave us a few laughs for all of 5 seconds!

Great, cute toy. The children's favorite, beautiful graphics.

Aunque era de importación inglesa en cuanto oo puse en la WiiU detectó el idioma y todos los menús me aparecen en español. Juego muy muy entretenido. Funciona perfectamente y venía en perfecto estado
