I just got Super Monkey Ball Adventure, and I figured I might as well post a little review.

The game is really quite a departure from the other two. It's good, but it lacks the polish of SMB or SMB2. First off, the graphics. Overall, they are more detailed than the originals, but they tend to look jagged and pixelated. Kinda hard to explain, but they just don't look as clean. The music is all over the place. The Story mode has a few new songs that very jungley, but the rest is pulled straight out of the original Super Monkey Ball. It randomly plays one song from SMB during the Challenge mode, which can sound out of place. One nice improvement is that the announcer has several different ways of saying things like "Ready?" and "Fallout!" He doesn't sound the same everytime. Speaking of fallout, get used to hearing it, because you're going to do it A LOT! THIS GAME IS HARD!!! Overall, Super Monkey Ball Adventure is good, but not nearly as good as SMB or SMB2. 7/10

What do you think?

Well, the first SMB was also insanely hard on the higher difficulty levels. It wouldn't be Super Monkey Ball if you weren't tearing your hair out for missing that last banana then going back only to fall to your doom and having to restart the whole thing over. By the by, this is developed by the same company that did Sonic R, Traveler's Tales. They also did Sonic 3D Blast.

Yeah, and the difficulty for the challenge stages is pretty much like the other games. The difficulty for the story mode seems a bit high. Story doesn't have that simple "roll the ball to the goal" feel as the challenge mode, so it's more annoying than addicting.

When you guys said 'SMB' I thought you meant Super Mario Bros.

I've mixed those up before, too.

Isn't it primarily a platformer/adventure game? If so, **** that.
