Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania makes me feel things. This was my first Monkey Ball game, and as an introduction to the franchise, it was... something. Starting with the positives, the game looks and sounds great. The visuals are stunning and all the remixes are absolute slappers. Most of the levels are at least decently fun, although a select handful of them made me feel like ripping my arm out of its socket (Soft Cream can suck the shit out of my ass). By far the worst thing about this game is the camera, though. It does an excellent job obscuring exactly what you need to see at all times, and the ability to control it with the Right Stick isn't worth much when the regular default camera fights with it all the time. I eventually just stopped bothering even trying to control the camera at all, which kind of defeats the purpose of having camera control in the first place if the game arguably handles better without it. All in all, this is definitely a Monkey Ball game for Monkey Ball fans, with a bunch of general improvements such as no more lives and a bunch of adjusted levels, and I'm interested to see where the series can go from here.
