Video Game Reviews of Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz

Customer Review: Looks fun...and that's where it ends.
Summary: 3 Stars

I'm an 18-year-old college student...not a kid. Just for the record.

At first, my cousin and I were having a lot of fun with the minigames. We were gettting a little sick of Mario Party, so new games were definitely more entertaining at the moment. Some games were fun, others were just obnoxiously difficult. But what they all have in common is that the directions are TERRIBLE!!!! Before every game, you're told how to control everything, but not much is revealed about how the game actually WORKS. So you can control it no problem, the challenge is figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do!
Also, some of the games really aren't "mini"games at all - the jigsaw puzzle was like nails on a chalkboard to watch...my cousin and her friends standing inches from the TV trying to put together miniscule *moving* pictures was less than amusing. Golf was equally annoying - I had to try to hit my ball several times before the stupid thing actually registered my movements.
I can't say much about the main game, except that it got boring after three stages.
Easily said, I was frustrated at the game and myself for buying the game. I'm sure with practice, these might be fun, but then it won't be fun at parties with people who haven't had time to practice.

New characters roll onto the scene

AiAi, MeeMee, GonGon, and Baby will be joined by new characters YanYan; a young, vivacious female monkey and Doctor; an older monkey with a past steeped in mystery due to his acute case of amnesia. The addition of YanYan and Doctor also marks another first for the Super Monkey Ball franchise, differing skill-set levels for each character. Each character will have strengths and weaknesses in categories such as acceleration, speed, and jumping ability. Even the size of the monkey ball and its weight will play a role in a character's performance in the game.

Doctor is a mysterious old that drifted down to Monkey Island from an unknown origin. He suffers from amnesia and doesn't even remember his own name. However, he is a well-liked, smart inventor, and everyone in town knows him as Doctor. Doctor has the highest acceleration out of the whole gang, but it's probably aided by some sort of contraption he invented. Being a bit on the old side his jumping skills aren't what they used to be as well, but he is still a good monkey to play with.

YanYan is a young girl that recently moved close to AiAi's neighborhood. She is a fearless girl, a master of the mightiest Monkey martial art of pugilism, Hachi-en-Ken. She might have fallen in love with AiAi and sometimes becomes very shy around him. YanYan is the highest jumper of the entire group. Her vivatious energy allows her to reach heights that are unusual for her size. If you like to jump, YanYan is the monkey to choose.
