COMMENTS
Super Monkey Ball 2 is an excellent sequel. The story mode is interesting and fun. The first few levels are extremely easy however as you progress further they get insanely hard. Who comes up with these mazes? The multiplayer games warrant buying the game by themselves. The original six minigames are always fun. Out of the new six, a couple disappoint namely Boat Race and Dog Fight. Soccer and Shot would have been even better if they were four player. Overall Super Monkey Ball 2 is a solid game that every Gamecube owner should have in his collection.
