Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - Nintendo Wii

Everyone has played a monkey ball game once in while. Mostly at parties or some gathering. But that is all that it is worth. Parties. Playing by yourself or with one other person is very disipointing. Lets face it, it is party game. Ment for four people or more. The controls are bad(mostly due to the camera). You tilt your controller one way and it goes the other way. This is especially worse in the 1st player mode. The 1st person mode also is pointless and horrible. You fight Giant monkies with jet packs. I would however recomend it for young Wii fans and people who have big social lifes and enjoy a kiddie game.

Super Monkey Ball:Banana Blitz is the new instalment in to the super monkey ball franchise . This time you play as same monkeys as the other super monkey ball games. Your goal is to retrieve the gold bananas this is the main part of the game, this is where the game is at its best. Nice challenging levels and fun bosses but it will not take you long before is part of the game is over.Now for the multi player there are mini game that will make you use the wiimote every way possible,some of this games will bring some entertainment some are bad ones that will make you think why they put this in the game.In the end this one that you would want to play but not buy so for this one I'd say the core of the game is good so good it will make you want more. This is one to put on your gamefly ''Q'' but not one to go out and purchase .

While there are a ton of new party games, I found they all lack the fun factor I found in the old Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2. Monkey Target in particular was my family's favorite mini-game on the old games, but on the new Wii version, we only played it a couple times before quitting. Instead of keeping the old classics or improving them, they seemed to have dumbed them down. The single player game is kind of fun, but can be frustrating at times (much like the old games) due to the sensitivity of the controllers. I also tended to get motion sick a little bit faster with this Wii version than I did in the old ones. Overall, it is an okay game, but I'll still prefer to turn on the old PS2 and play Super Monkey Ball 2 than play this one.

Monkey Ball games have always been fun to play if you have multiple players involved. The single player feature has never really "floated my boat" so to speak. Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is no different. Many of the mini games are so fun!!!! However, I'd say more than half of them are awkward and down right annoying to play. Hurling a shotput or trying to throw rings over little poles is a blast. Playing rock/paper/scissors or sumo wrestling is horrible...at best. Still, if you have four players in the room, there's bound to be someone that likes each game that's chosen. Overall, the game is very fun. Simply avoid those mini games that drive you stark driving mad.

When we first got the game I played single mode and got frustrated because it was hard to keep the ball on track. But the more I played the better I got. A lot had to do with using the wii remote, because you could over tilt it. Contro is differnt from the cube that is for sure. But we play the mini games alot as a family. They are so fun. It is a must have game for the family collection. Oh I am 51 and love games. We play as a family 1 evening every weekend.

My eight year old really had fun playing this for a while. The party games has dozens of options -- they can play for hours and still not have tried them all, so for days there was always something new for them to try. My kids did complain that the story mode didn't have much of a story like in previous versions of the game. But they still enjoyed it. So if you're looking for a fun family game that isn't sports and isn't violent, this is a pretty good choice.

It has so many minni games that you wouldn't get bord if you have someone to play with. Some of the minni games are like the old money ball game. To me two of the games needed to be looked over by the game desiners before they started to sell it. Because some of the controls are off. Besides that it is a very good game as a whole.

I bought this game thinking I would have fun with friends and family. Boy, was I wrong. The monkey ball I remember playing was fun and actually had the monkeys in balls! Maybe I didn't play long enough to get to that point in the game... The point is I just could not get into the gameplay. The controls for some of the minigames were a little difficult. I just played it once and was immediately turned away. I say if you want a fun game to play with friends and family buy mario party 8 there is more to do on that game. I do not recommend this game.
