Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz / The Globe and Mail
“Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz has a single player mode with an incredibly pleasing control method, and it’s a real shame that Sega spent so long developing a massive range of party games that they forgot to make sure the single player levels were particularly interesting, or that any of the party games would stand out. If they’d limited themselves to perhaps 10 party games and really fleshed them out this could have been a superb package. As it is, it’s for Monkey Ball fans only.”I think that had I written this review for anyone except the website of an internationally respected newspaper I might have ended it “Banana Blitz? Banana shits, more like.” But that’s probably a bit harsh. Super Monkey Ball’s single player mode is alright (but nothing special.) The party games, though, are a bit like blindly placing your hand in a bag that you know contains about 40 used heroin needles found in the bin of an AIDS clinic, but also 10 precious stones of an ho-hum value, and having a good old rummage.

Yeah, I went over to Wes’ house and he was going to show me this game and the whole time I was in misery playing the multiplayer games. They range from sub-par to terrible.
It was about thirty minutes into it that I began to yell at him about setting Rayman to the side in favor of this game.
