Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz - Wii from Argos
This is a "grower", definitely. First impressions really were not good: Simplistic 3D graphics, harsh sound and music and trivial gameplay. However, on perseverance, although the graphics and sound/music didn't improve very greatly (though arguably a bit!), the gameplay itself did massively. You have to complete all levels to proceed, and the game is fast enough that you are encouraged to try and try again to achieve that. Oh, what do you have to do? Basically, steer a monkey in a ball around increasingly complex and hazardous mazes, within a time limit and whilst collecting as many of the eponymous bananas as possible. There are also 50 party games, but these are mainly a waste of space.
Good points:
  • Fast, furious and increasingly compelling gameplay
  • That's about it really - it's called "Super Monkey Ball" and that's exactly what you get!
Bad points:
  • First few levels may disappoint
  • No control over the rather jarring sound effects and music
  • Party games only there because it's fashionable for the Wii; perhaps half a dozen OK-ish ones, and thankfully do not have to be unlocked
