Man.. what a return to the series this game is. as much as its a remake of 1,2 and deluxe this game is so fun but with the lack of local co-op and the controls feeling not as precise id rather go back to the originals. But this game is hopefully a great stepping stone for the return of monkey ball!!!
Why can't Sega recapture the Monkey Ball magic from 1 & 2 on the Gamecube? This plays noticeably worse than those 20+-year-old titles. The physics and control feel loose and imprecise for a game series based entirely around character movement and navigation. A big disappointment that ended the series for me.
it just feels completely off, they completely got rid of the cool aesthetic from the first two games, the controls are fine but not as tight and accurate as the first two games, and i just couldn't see myself playing through this when i already played through 1 and 2 there's no point. if you wanna play monkey ball just play the first 2.
