Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review:

In a nutshell:
The monkeys are back to put the Wii Remote though its pacing, with more puzzles, more features, more party games and, most importantly, more fun (and bananas).

The lowdown:
They're monkeys, they're trapped in giant hamster balls and, unlike the recent Super Monkey Ball Adventure, they're super. This is Super Monkey Ball 3 in all but name, with the same mix of single player puzzles and party games as the original two games. As before the puzzle levels simply have you trying to navigate your monkey through a maze without falling off, except you don't control the ball itself but tilt the whole game world around it. The big difference now of course is that get to use the Wii Remote, which is perfect for the extremely subtle movements necessary for game. New features include a jump command (either the 'A' button or by actually flicking the controller upwards) and a number of boss battles that will test your monkey-in-a-ball controlling skills to the limit.

Most exciting moment:
As well as seeing the return of party game favourites such as Monkey Target and Monkey Race, Banana Blitz also features brand new concepts such as Monkey Fencing (where you jab into the screen with your remote) and Monkey Hurdles (where you have to pump the Remote up and down as if you were running). There are 50 party games in total and all use the Remote in a different way.

Since you ask:
Sega have said that all the characters from the previous games will make an appearance in the new game. There are also new ones planned too, including a female monkey named YaYa and a new simian scientist character.

The bottom line:
Super monkeys return to form in their biggest game yet. -HARRISON DENT

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice Monkey game from Sega., 28 Dec 2006
By T. Robertson "Square eyes" (Drybridge scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
A follow up to super monkey ball adventure, and it's on of my top 3 wii games at the moment. Super Monkey Ball:Banana Blitz is great. The first world is plain easy. Then Sega cuts the barriers down to size, making them smaller [and to mention easier to bounce, tumble off the 'tray'], and making you laugh at yourself for no reason. Then punch yourself. With 8 worlds and 8 levels [complete with bonus and boss levels], to keep you going. The level design is a more cartoony look now, which I noticed after a few terrifying leaps of FALL OUT!s. The music is kinda amusing. If not that tiny bit anoying. [Example:Turn the Wii on. Go to disc channal, pop the disc in, and there's do do do, do do do, do do do do doo! and repeat.] Some of it is plain catchy.

The minigames are... Great! Some have got ideas from other games, [Hammer throw is related to Rayman's Cow throw, but not with a cow.] Hammer throw will have you coming back for more. In my opinion, that is. The minigames are set at the 8 differnet worlds. For some evil reason. Any way it is still good. No unlockables, which is a shame. But with 50 big ones, next morning you will be giddy with sore arms, legs you name it.

Charaters are the same. Mind the've gone into the cartoon machine and changend. They now own houses. You don't see them. Oh well. Here are the charaters:
Aiai,
MeeMee,
Baby- CAME FROM THE FUTURE!,
GonGon,
And there's 2 more. 2 new ones that is.
YanYan and
Doctor.
Strange thing is YanYan is the only one that has a tail. Sega's gone bonkers.

Gameplay 10/10
Fun Facter:9/10
Last for: as long as your laugh box doesn't break.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, 8 Aug 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter, when she first tried to play it she found it dificult to control and I thought that she wouldn't want to play it again. How wrong I was, this has become her favourite Wii game and can keep her amused for hours and me too! It's great to have a game that we can play together and enjoy, we find ourselves shouting or laughing when we fall off a ledge, moving bridge, mushroom or whatever we are trying to move over. Other reviewers have commented that it's rather childish, but it is for ages 7 and up - so if you want a more 'grown up' game, then pick something else, there's a large selection! The controls do take a bit of getting used to but once you do, it's great fun. You have the choice of playing the main game or one of the 50 party games. I notice that another reviewer has stated that they finished the main game a their first attempt!!!! I very much doubt this, they probably meant the first world which is mainly to help you get used to the controls. (It is a bit confusing when the credits come up at the end of each world.) There are 8 worlds which get progressively harder. I have to say that my daughter and I really enjoy playing this game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard To Control, But Good For A Few Laughs, 4 May 2007
By Alan S. Blair (East Kilbride, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Looking for a game that'll keep you busy for a few weeks? Buy Zelda: Twilight Princess. But if it's a party game you're looking for that'll give a large group a few laughs, then Super Monkey Ball is what you want. Just don't expect too much of it.

Broken down into several mini-games, Monkey Ball will give you some laughs, but mostly you'll get a lot of shouting as the controls don't act as expected. The novelty of the Wii is the sensor remotes and the ability to jump about to control the game, however Monkey Ball tends to react in unexpected ways to certain movements which can get annoying in a tight race or battle.

Its a good little game for passing the time, but not as a long term gaming investment.
