It's a good game, but I wish it was better. You can tell so much care was put into this, but unfortunately some things piled up into making this game just decent. For a game with so many cool small details and little things, they're also missing so many little things. The cutscenes for example, do not have the charm of the old ones. Another issue I have is the engine. For the main game, while not being as perfect as the original, did the job. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite do the job for the minigames. Monkey target, a game I spent nearly as much time as I did with the main game in the originals, is an absolute mess now, and isn't worth playing. This trend unfortunately carries over for many of the mini games. It's a shame as well, because there's so much to like about this game. A surprisingly awesome roster, online rankings, and many other things were added to make this a great game. I just wish they could have ironed out the kinks. Overall, you'll have a good time with this game. But unfortunately, it let me down when comparing it to the originals. And while this is then best monkey ball game in the series since the originals, I can't say I have hope for the future of the series, as a lot of the good of this game is from the traces of the originals. I honestly can't recommend this at it's current price point, especially if you already have access to the originals.
