 Not for beginners - could be frustrating April 13, 2008
The objective of this game is to guide a rolling 'monkey ball' through a range of obstacles (slopes, stairs, gaps, bridges etc) through a series of passages. The levels are vibrant and very colorful. Wii motion controls are cleverly used and amazingly nice and intuitive. Be careful not to fall off the edge and fight a boss at the end of each one of the ten levels. The levels get progressively difficult and quite challenging (some very difficult, esp. the bosses). To add to it, there is a time limit on levels. You may get frustrated if you are an average gamer or beginner (Make sure you strap the wii remote to your hand, you dont want to throw it in frustration!! :).
The game also has 50 mini games of varying difficulty and goals - most with simultaneous multi-player capability. The variety is so much that you'll always like / dislike something. The great thing about it is that you dont have to do anything to unlock these games. You can play them just from the mainmenu even w/o playing the main game. A lot of these are good fun like the good old arcades (bug balance, hurdles race, jump rope, submarine, space attack, snow surfing, racing, banana thief etc) but with wii motion controls. Surprisingly, for some games, the wii motion controls are not so smooth/intuitive. You really need very tight hands. So, I didn't like playing golf and a few other games.
Bottomline: Main game can be frustrating for beginners. Huge variety of mini-games.

For me, the games are not much fun. My six year old likes them a little more but says most are "Boring". I am glad I rented this, because I cannot see playing these games for more that two weeks.

Este juego no me gusta para nada ni a mis sobrinos tampoco. Lo primero es que son demasiado de cortos los juegos y segundo las graficas marean a uno incluso hasta nos llego a dar nauseas.
No lo recomiendo
Frustrating Fun! January 7, 2008

Bought this game today and we've been enjoying it all day. We got through the first few worlds fairly quickly. Perhaps that's because we're used to the Wii remote especially in Mercury Meltdown which is a LOT more challenging than this game. Overall it's just really cute, nice music, cute levels, a bit frustrating, but very engaging. It's one of those games that I like to pop in after getting frustrated w/ adventure games like Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider. One star off for the mini games, we tried a few of them and they're not interesting and hard to control.

My girls are 11 and 13. They love this game. It's a challenge to get the ball through the different courses. The game also has mini games which you can play with two people. They enjoy using those with their friends. At first this seems challenging, but once you get the hang of it it's fun. They have tried this game for the DS and don't like it very much. The ball is hard to control on the DS and the screen is small. On the Wii the way you control the ball is just perfect and really makes use of the special control of the Wii.
