Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii, 2006)

As you can see from my other reviews, I am a big super monkey ball fan! After being obsessed with super monkey balls 1 and 2 (but being disappointed with super monkey ball adventure), I knew i would have to get Banana Blitz when I got my Wii, and I did, it was the first game I bought actually.

I was a tad worried that it would be similar to adventure, but I was VERY wrong!! This game has blown me away with its excessive amount of mini games and new level designs. AND ITS SO COLORFUL! :D

There are 50 mini games in all, with some welcome classics making a return including monkey target.

A great new feature in Banana Blitz is the ability to jump, I welcome this addition as it as helped me out in many doomed situations and can help you pull of some neat tricks. It has caused the designers to rethink their way of designing levels, and id say they have done a fantastic job. You even have to hop up some steps :)

The Wii Remote handles the game perfectly, I definetly prefer it to using a normal analog controller, it just feels like I have more control of my monkey. Only some of the mini games make use of the nunchuck controller.

There are also two new monkeys to play around with, these are 'YanYan' and 'Doctor'. YanYan is apparently a girl who has a crush on AiAi (and meemee is not too pleased about that!)! lol! and Doctor is just some guy who has lost his memory and has no idea who he is.....

This game gets a 5/5 from me. The huge amount of main game levels and the 50 mini games will have you playing hours on end. WHOOPEE! And if you like to get competitive, try a worldwide online ranking site and see if you can beat other players high scores!
