After knowing the existence of monkey ball for atleast 15 years, I decided to finally give this series a try. Banana Rumble looks very interesting, but found this game pretty cheap online so decided this to be my first monkey ball game. I am aware of the physics differences with the original games, but since im new to this, I figured it shouldnt really matter for me. Overall I had a fun experience, but expected a bit more from the levels.

My thoughts:
(+ = (mostly) positive; - = (mostly) negative)
+ Gameplay;
Fun and addicting gameplay. The levels are either garbage, fun or super hard. overall I wasnt stuck for too long in the super hard levels, but the difference in difficulty is just too much sometimes.

++ Music;
The music fits perfectly. I never got tired/annoyed of hearing the same track for a good while.

+- Graphics;
It's alright. I do vibe with the background scenes but felt like they could've done more with it.

- Story/Characters;
Non existing, but luckily you can skip the useless cutscenes. the gameplay is the main event of the game anyway.

Recommend?
Yea why not. If you want an unique puzzle experience you can give this game a try. finding an cheaper copy shouldn't be hard.
