Magical spell is ei-ei-poo

Strengths: It's Monkey Ball, many modes of play

Weakness: Monkey Target isn't as fun

An all new monkey ball, with new levels of tilting fun, and with many new modes. What more could be asked for? I'm asking for Monkey Target to not be ruined. I don't know what it is, but they altered it and removed all the fun. Monkey Target was so excellent in the first, they shouldn't have messed with the formula at all. Considering many of the added modes aren't that great, I think Super...

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: Unique, great multiplayer action, interesting mini games.

Weakness: Not as fun by yourself, not a big leap from the original, too hard at time.

Leave it up to Sega to keep cranking out these quirky games. This version of Monkey Balls is the second to come out in the last couple of years. You basically have to guide your monkey ball through a course of obstacles, twists and turns in order to reach the finish line. It sounds easy enough but along the way there a ton of ways to get thrown off course. At a certain point, this game get super...

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: Brilliant level design and mini-games.

Weakness: Feels more like an expansion than a sequel.

God bless the creator of this series. Super Monkey ball 2 takes an obscure premise and runs off with it. The 1 player mode has an old school feel where you can instantly pick it up and the challenge lies within having the skills to complete the levels. Several mutliplayer player games gives the game longevity and make it a great alternative to Super Smash Bros. and other quality multiplayer...

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: Challenging

Weakness: none

An outstanding update to the first Super Monkey Ball. This time with more boards, more multiplayer, and more modes. An excellent game for everyone. An super monkey ball veteran will love this game.

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: small party games, easy to start

Weakness: frucstrating at some point

I heard a lot of good things about the Super Monkey Ball on game cube. So I really expect much more from its next version, Super Monkey Ball 2. I didn't own or play the first version. But for this version, I am a little bit disappointed. The game is easy to start. You just control a monkey in a ball and roll through each course. As the courses become harder and harder, the fun of playing the game...

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: great gameplay

Weakness: little childish

this game is one of the reasons i got a gamecube. The controls are spot on and the graphics are great. The concept is easy, it is just rolling a monkey around inside a little ball trying to get to the goal. It sounds stupid but it is really fun. I would recommend it.

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: Tons of stages, progressive scan compatible, tons of modes,

Weakness: None

Super Monkey Ball 2 is the sequel to Super Monkey Ball and it takes what the first game did and improves on it in every aspect. You control a monkey in a ball with the GameCube's analog stick and will have to lead him quickly though courses to the finish line witout falling. Super Monkey Ball 2 has more stages than the first game with 150 stages total in the game & a new story mode to go though...

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: Original game play

Weakness: Missing SMB1 mini games

This game is like the original where you try to roll from point a to point B. There is also an interesting story where you are trying to defeat the mad scientist. The only weakness is that it is missing the mini games from the first Monkey Ball, which would have added a lot more replay value.

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: next generation of Monkey Ball

Weakness: none

If you like the original, you'll like this one. It's a good game to play when you've got a bunch of people over (party game). It's like an updated marble madness gone crazy!

Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube

Strengths: More of the same fun as Super Monkey Ball, fun games, diverse types of games, nice graphics

Weakness: If you didn't like Super Monkey Ball, you won't like this onel too much of the same for some people

Lots of great fun in trying to think your way through the puzzles in how to make it through to the end, and pick up all the bananas. It's a must-get if you liked Super Monkey Ball, and maybe worth looking at if you can't find the first one. I liked it, since it's pick it up and play it for a little while kind of game, or keep playing it for hours on end. I'd recommend it.
