COMMENTS

Super Monkey Ball is a brilliant, fun and addictive party game. It features a very simple concept with very simple controls (just the joystick for the most part). The graphics are cute and quite nice. The music is very 80s which isn't bad thing, right? Seriously though, it isn't bad. The challenge/single-player consists of easy, advance and expert modes with a total of over a 100 levels. The easy levels are well easy but the expert levels will have you pulling your hair out. You only use the joystick to tilt the level to move your monkey in a ball to the goal. The multiplayer is excellent. There are six mini-games which are all great. You can play through the challenge mode with four players as well. This is one of the Cube's best party games. Highly recommended.
