So much missed potential with the Super Monkey Ball 2 story, the cutscenes were the SOUL of that mode. Now it's just a boring slideshow with dumb monkey noises.

The other mode has unlimited lives so the challenge is gone, therefore the replayability is affected heavily. There's no need to get better because you can just try again infinitely AND on top of that there's an easy cheat mode. Casuals really ruined gaming. I wouldn't mind if there was an easy cheat mode AND lives, but they really went and made it as easy as can be.

On top of that, a bunch of returning minigames are downgraded by a lot, most notably Monkey Target being just unplayable and unfun.

I'm only glad they finally listened and gave Monkey Ball fans what they wanted, even though it could have been so much better
