User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Very fun
Old School, but still fun. Have the Wii and wanted to try this before buying the 50 dollar Wii version. Definitely going to get the new one now!

4 Stars Not as good as the second one
The second game is much better and has better games but this is still a fun party game if you don’t have the second one.

4 Stars Great Golf! Stay away from the “Bowling”
The actual game is fairly good. The multi-player are a mixed bag. The Bowling is just about the worst thing I’ve ever seen. It got my neighbor’s little girl so upset we had to make her promise not to attempt it.

The golf, on the other hand, is amazingly good. As good as Mario!

3 Stars Fun minigames, but infuriating main game is required to unlock them
This game came highly recommended to me and got good reviews, but I have to say that this is one of the most infuriating games I’ve ever played. Yes, 2 of the 3 mini-games that are initially unlocked are fun, but to get the other 3 mini games you have to play the main game, and the main game is infuriatingly not fun. Actually, the first 5 or 6 levels or so are pretty fun, but then it rapidly, and painfully, gets difficult. It’s a lot like Marble Madness, except for the fun part. A key difference between the way Marble Madness worked and the way this works is that in Marble Madness, if you fell off an edge you lost time, but were placed roughly back where you were before you fell off. In Super Monkey Ball, if you fall off you have to start the level entirely over again. Combine that with levels involving balance beam precision and what you end up with just isn’t fun.

I made it through the easy levels, but decided I’d had enough only a short way into the medium difficulty levels. An hour into it and I was only less than halfway to unlocking one mini game. It’s just not worth it. My advice would be to only buy this game if you have an Action Replay to unlock all the mini games right away, or if you have friends/family who have a save with all the mini games unlocked that you can copy to your memory card. The mini games are fun, and SMB should have been entirely mini games.

Super Monkey Ball




In Super Monkey Ball, you’re in control of a cute little monkey trapped inside a transparent ball. The objective of the game is deceptively simple: tilt the floor with your analog stick so that your monkey ball rolls towards the goal. Your success is all in the thumb: the more you tilt, the faster the ball rolls. Just be sure not to fall off the edges! You can play with up to four others to see who can master the tilt and get their monkeys to the finish line ahead of the pack.

Video Games aren't for everyone. Candace makes a big effort to engage in only "unplugged" play. Her little girl watches almost no tv, and I highly doubt she'll be playing video games anytime soon. While I embrace the unplugged play philosophy in theory, I see a lot of value in video games as well. I have many happy memories of playing games on the original Atari system with my brother, and I've made my living in the dot com world. So Candace was amused- but probably not shocked since she's kn
OK, I’m about to scream out like a little girl right now. Buried deep down in my inbox loaded with press releases, I discovered this one from National Geographic. National Geographic has now formed a videogame division — appropriately called National Geographic Games — dedicated to creating family-friendly games across major platforms including Wii, DS, PS3, PSN, PC and mobile devices. That in and of itself is pretty cool to see. I’m a fan of watching nature specials and animal shows, so this
