  1. There's so much packed into this you'll be playing it long after you've completed the main story mode - and you can't say that about many PSP games now, can you?

    We can recommend the multi-player experience, but if you'll be playing it single-player, there are far better platformers out there. [July 2006, p.60]
  3. While the game has a lot of solid concepts, a ton of stages, and some pretty good “boss” fights, (if you even want to call them that) the game sadly suffers from a horrible camera and just annoying challenge; and in the end, the experience isn’t memorable by any means.
  4. 50
    SMBA's biggest flaw is that it expanded the scope of the series' traditional gameplay without retaining its laser-like focus on solid game design.
  5. The fundamental gameplay created by the 'monkey in a ball' mechanic simply doesn't work within the confines of an adventure title.
  6. Boomtown

    The Challenge and party modes are the redeeming features, but they’re only the side dishes- and the main course will leave you with a particularly bad taste in your mouth.
  7. In the name of progress, Super Monkey Ball Adventure has abandoned everything that makes the Super Monkey Ball series fun.

You'll be playing it for a decent amount of time before you finish and then you still won't want to put it down. It's so addicting, cute monkeys and magic...what more oculd you want? The only gripe I have is the really bad camera control. it is to your disadvantage all the time. All in all I love this game. Expand
