I'm starting to see why so many love Monkey Ball

I own the first... and quite honestly, I never cared for it. Not much at all. But, since everyone loves it, I kept it in my collection, and I had no idea why.

Bored shitless, I decided to put it in the old Q, and play a game of Advanced. Yeah, I can't beat Advanced yet. So, I go through it, and I'm getting into it, and die a thousand times at the last level, and boom, no more continues left. Shit. Wait, I have more points to open a bonus game. Whoopdie do. I already opened golf and didn't care for it too much.

But, I open up billiards, and I had a blast! I played for a great while on this alone. Then I tried out the party games. Wow! Monkey Fight is great. And that target thing? Neat! Now I can't wait to get more points to open the last one, and then keep on trucking on Advanced and then Expert. I still say that some of the puzzles are WAY too hard, but... I'm starting to see why so many love this. I wonder if I should get MB2 after I play this one some more. Hmmmmm.

Super Monkey Ball was one of the first games I bought when I got my Game Cube. It's the only game my girlfriend owns, she just loves it.

I've played both of them over at a friend's house and have fun playing the mini-games, but I dont have much interest in the main game. I do think that they are both great games, but the single player modes just dont appeal to me very much. I'd just rather play some Monkey Bowling instead.

Thanks. I put some thought into this one where as I pretty much threw my last one together. I know that sounds like I am undermining my work, but making images like that mainly involve copy and pasting. There are many people who can make much better images than me, even on this board no doubt. Well, no need to drag this further off topic due to my newly inflated ego :p
