    I played monkey ball 1 and 2 and they were challenging and at times too hard. This game is just too hard. The adventure is boring...just boring. The first 10 levels under beginner are equivalent to the advanced levels in the other two. Why do people think that making games harder and harder is fun? I do things at work all day that are too hard and boring...I dont want to do a video game I played monkey ball 1 and 2 and they were challenging and at times too hard. This game is just too hard.

    I loved Monkey Ball 1 and 2 (and Deluxe) but this thing is gawd awful. First: The puzzle mode is 1-player only. No more sitting with friends playing the puzzle mode. Second: Loading screen! For example, in Monkey Target, you must wait almost a full minute to load the screen... and that is between each attempt--and you are playing on the exact same level each time. What is it loading?!

    Long story short, the adventure motif simply didn't catch. [Sept. 2006, p.88]

    Super Monkey Ball Adventure is not worth your time, money, or frustration.

    Play Adventure for the solid traditional modes and adequate multiplayer, but don't expect to get too much enjoyment out of the dull platforming. [Sept. 2006, p.98]
