Super Monkey Ball Adventure (Review)

Aug 14, 2006

Super Monkey Ball ruled, and that's a fact. It was polished to a sheen, it was tightly focused, and it had cute monkeys. Unfortunately, Super Monkey Ball Adventure, the latest entry in Sega's simian series, can only stake a claim to one of those merits. Taking the series in a more modern direction, Adventure offers up a lengthy story mode wherein you roam large environments in a rolling capsule, completing objectives to unlock further large environments. Trouble is, it lacks the series' former ...

Sega hands over its precious balls to Travellers Tales, a British developer you probably know from... well, chances are you probably dont know them. The developer has had success with Sega in the past, creating Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast. That said, the company has crafted more mediocre games than great ones. Should Super Monkey Ball fans be concerned that someone other than Sega is handling their favorite simians? From what weve seen so far, Super Monkey Ball Adventure contains many of ...

Monkeys, balls and adventure (News)

Jul 26, 2006

If the ultra-vague shipping dates are to be believed, we'll be knee-deep in monkey madness early next week thanks to Super Monkey Ball Adventure. This marks the first time the simian superstars have broken free from their prison balls and actually tried to accomplish something - saving all of the monkeyverse. If it plays half as stupid as it sounds, then we may have something here. Either way, we've got new screens of minigame goodness to soak up and all you have to do is hit the Images tab ...

Saturday 13 May 2006 When we heard about Super Monkey Ball Adventure, the spin-off action game for everyone's favourite sphere-encased simians, our first question was: How will that work, then? Well, we've been hands on with the game, and the answer is: Really rather well. In SMB Adventure you must roam the lands of monkey-dom, from your starting point on Jungle Island through Moonhaven, Zootopia, Monkeytropolis and Kongri-la. Each location has its own visual flavour, for instance Moonhaven is ...

Thursday June 1 2006 Did anyone ever actually sit back during a game of Super Monkey Ball and wonder what those entombed monkeys did in their spare time? Didn't think so. Looks like we're gonna find out anyway, as Adventure breaks them free from their floating puzzle trays and sets them loose in a full 3D quest to save monkey kind. Main monkey AiAi is still trapped inside the same globular prison as always, but instead of directing him to a well-defined goal, you'll lead him through vast, ...

Super Monkey Ball Adventure expands (News)

May 30, 2006

Though an informal poll of the GamesRadar editorial staff recently determined that half of us hate monkeys, you can rest assured that nobody can resist the charms of Super Monkey Ball. Super Monkey Ball Adventure does exactly what it says: takes the ball-rolling wackiness of the original series and sticks it in a fully-realized world for the monkeys to explore. These new screenshots showcase that world, as well as the colorful characters you'll meet. They even show off some of the minigames - ...

Looks like we're gonna find out anyway, as Adventure breaks them free from their floating puzzle trays and sets them loose in a full 3D quest to save monkey kind. Right. Main monkey AiAi is still trapped inside the same globular prison as always, but instead of directing him to a well-defined goal, you'll lead him through vast, open-ended worlds ...

By now we're all somewhat familiar with the unlucky simian quartet of Super Monkey Ball. They're obscenely adorable, baby-voiced tykes that can't seem to escape the glass ball / perpetual hamster wheel that encases them. Usually, you'd be tasked with wheeling them through a floating, twisting maze (like the wooden Labyrinth board game), but this time the primates are rolling into some Mario-style platforming. Super Monkey Ball Adventure keeps the little guys inside their round prisons, but ...
