 DailyGame Review: Super Monkey Ball 2 [GC]
If you’re unfamiliar with the original Super Monkey Ball, which launched with the GameCube in all three major territories, the game’s single-player experience was not unlike a mixture of Marble Madness and an old-school labyrinth game where you tilt the board to maneuver a ball around.
While the majority of the gameplay still consists of maneuvering your monkey with the analog stick to avoid falling off of narrow ledges, the single-player levels now brim with more interactivity and tables that are quite different from the original.
Monkey Tennis is amazingly fun when you get four comrades over to smash it out, and it’s definitely a keeper for Super Monkey Ball3 (should there be one).

 Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Review for Xbox - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe has twelve different party games, all of which are notably complex and offer a variety of user options.
Monkey Race DX, Monkey Fight DX and Monkey Billiards DX rank among the best; all three are highly entertaining, competition-inspiring and have intuitive and unobtrusive controls.
Monkey Bowling and Monkey Boat, at the other end of the spectrum, handle awkwardly and will probably be abandoned for other, more fun choices.

roll a ball with a monkey in it to the end of a level collecting as many bananas as possible only to be dumped on an even worse level after.
Monkey Target for example, in which you have to land your flying monkey on large floating darts-style targets in the sea, is particularly compulsive and long, long sessions with friends on this game alone are not uncommon.

The object is simple: you guide your monkey, who’s trapped in a ball, through a series of levels, towards the goal posts at the end of each level without falling over the sides but before the time runs out.
Super Monkey Ball 2 has the same addictive control scheme, which is incredibly simple to understand, yet the level designs make each level challenging.

According to Darwinian evolution, monkeys and apes are among humanity's closest relatives.
Super Monkey Ball is nothing if not a simian torture simulation, as every single one of its numerous gameplay modes involves putting a monkey into a capsule and then sending the poor thing rolling into unspeakable perils.
The twist is that you don't control the monkey -- instead, you tilt the entire level to influence the direction that the ball rolls, much like in the classic (non-video) game Labyrinth.

Super Monkey Ball is an action party game that takes a family of four monkeys in hamster balls on a wild ride through mazes, billiards tables, golf courses, and more.
Monkey Billiards seems incomplete without a basic 8-ball game, Monkey Bowling is just plain repetitive, and Monkey Golf is mini-golf without all of the wacky castles and structures.
Well, the short story is that you launch your monkey off a large platform, pop open the glider ball, and try to land on floating targets while avoiding any unpleasantries that you may have picked up from the Wheel of Death, such as bombs or spikes.

The main game of Monkey Ball is at first challenging, and certainly unique, but, especially in this first addition, it quicky becomes monotonous and frustrating as you find yourself always taking the easy routes to defeat levels, considering the difficult routes are, literally, impossible.
Once you become a master at monkey bowling, it never ceases to be enjoyable to contest friends in matches as well as play individually to try and make the top 5 leader board.
Monkey billiards is a side game I have recently become obsessed with, and like bowling, offers astoundingly realistic physics and gameplay.

 Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll Review - GamersHell.com
For those gamers who’ve never experienced Super Monkey Ball, the game mechanics are incredibly simple and devilishly addictive in nature: you control a clear on-screen ball that houses a cute monkey, and you direct said monkey to roll his or her ball through various obstacle-riddled environments and perilous platform levels.
Pressing the base of the ball will cause the Monkey Ball to slow and go backward, and obviously any implemented degree of touching on the sides of the 2D ball will incur sharp or shallow turns on the game screen.
The individual monkeys are fabulously voiced depending on your actions with the stylus and, for example, they whimper in cautionary fear if rolling on the edge of a drop, and scream in wild excitement when hurtling through chutes or down steep inclines, all of which will never cease to coax a smile from the player.

 Gamers Europe » Nintendo » Review » Super Monkey Ball   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
You play not a monkey in a ball (as the name blatantly suggests), but you control the platform that the monkey in a ball rolls around on, trying to guide him to the all-important bananas and the goal of a strip of printed toilet paper and a ball that opens up to release some confetti.
The sharper an angle, the more the platform moves the faster your monkey goes - just watch out for those traps in the later levels such as holes, moving parts you have to carefully roll onto and a gradient on the platform.
The monkeys are too cute for their own good, if you go too fast they start rolling around in the balls and they have different expressions on their face, depending on what you're doing to them.

When Super Monkey Ball arrived on the GameCube many years ago, it was a refreshing experience.
Yes, the monkey is cute on the touch screen as you move him around faster and faster…but seriously, it’s like using a touch pad to drive a car.
It does not seem as though the monkey you choose has any influence over the gameplay — just the little monkey face that you’ll see when you move the stylus is different.
