The first Super Monkey Ball was a surprisingly fun game. Super Monkey Ball 2 was an even better follow-up, with bigger, faster levels and more party games. With such a good track record, I picked up SMB Adventure the day it came out. I wish I hadn't.
The idea behind Adventure is, on the surface, a good one: the traditional (and challenging) courses of SMB have now been integrated with a true story mode, where you have to help other monkeys complete tasks in order to save the Monkey Kingdom. Unfortunately, the game itself is truly frustrating. To begin with, the load time for each level - and even within the levels - is excruciatingly slow. Once inside, you must find various monkeys who will give you your tasks. While some of these challenges are quite fun, their setup is annoying. For the most part, tasks must be performed in a certain order, so if you are having difficulty with one, you cannot simply skip ahead to a different one. In addition, if you die ("fall out") during a task, you

My 6 year old son loves this game. We have all 3, and they are great. They are the best games to purchase if you don't want you kids playing anything with any violence. They are fun, even though our son beats us at every level. Safe and Fun to play, both your children and you will love it.

My grandkids enjoy it. It does take reading, so real young kids have a challenge playing it.
I don't think it is as good as the first two monkeyball games.

Super Monkey Ball Adventure diverges from the previous games in that its main focus is the story mode, which, unlike the other games, doesn't consist of completing levels. In this game, you are in a world where you basically wander around completing menial tasks in an attempt to earn enough bananas to release the mini games.
That said, the mini and party games are a huge disappointment when compared to the previous games from Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball Two. If you loved Monkey Target, you will be sorely disappointed with this version, which takes an eternity to load in between rounds and doesn't feature the same challenges that Super Monkey Ball offered. It's very easy, but incredibly lame. To make things worse, you can only play four rounds max, as opposed to fifteen rounds with the first Monkey Target.
I bought this version because my sons and I really enjoyed Monkey Ball one and two, and I expected this to be similar. However, I have since learned that a different
