SMB2 lasted my buddies and I for well over a decade. With 1 half essentially gone, the game just feels hollow to me. To me, Monkey Ball is two halves of a whole:ġ half: An arcade-like single player romp through exponentially challenging physics puzzles and stages.ġ half: A fantastic party game to play with your friends, either with the party mode or the 4-player Challenge Mode. NintendoLife gave it a positive but cautious review, I give Jon a lot of credit for being more straight forward than most: And then on the far end of the spectrum is AntDude who is absolutely in love with this game, acknowledges that the party games aren't great but still fun, "the only one that was flat-out ruined is Monkey Target". I've heard some day that the single player physics feel weird but they got used to them and maybe that's why the party mode games all feel so strange and different. Every one of those reviews was some variation on: " The single-player is fantastic! 4-player challenge was removed and they altered the party games to the point that they are no longer fun, but it doesn't matter because I love this game anyway!" I've heard some say that a couple of the party games are still fun but Bowling, Golf and Target are bad. I listened to 8 different reviews of the game, because I'm pathetic and desperately wanted this game to be "the one that gets it right" before I bought it. Online discussions bring it up as a "great release" or even calling it a "perfect remaster" which kind of glosses over the issues that the game has. I see nearly universal praise for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania.
