I don't believe it, but mild, monkey-mad man, Meka, is actually right...
About 'Super Monkey Ball'...
Many of you may have 'shooed' this game to the side in favour of StarFox and Smash Brothers, but in essence, the game is everything a game should be. The gameplay is simple, yet very trying... easy to learn VERY hard to maste... there are over 100 levels, similar in looks maybe, but they're no easy feat. There are 3 main multi-player modes, which include racing, Mario Kart 128 style, Boxing and... hand-glide dropping (drop monkey on target etc) But not only that, and not only do these modes have power ups and obstacles...but this game which was dubbed 'a quick, easy chas in for Sega to make up lost money' has a mini games section where you can play Tennis, Pool, and Golf... and more! You use the monkeys, in their balls as the corresponding balls...
Man the whole game looks and sounds ace! It is definitely first on my list. SSB: Melee can wait and StarFox can too, this game looks ace and it'll give me an excuse to spend £60 on another 2 controllers!
But honestly, the features and options are great, it seems as though the title is DEFINITELY worth £40... The graphics are great, the gameplay is reputed to be the best out of all the SW2001 titles and the design is sooo simple 'it could make Shigsy smile all day'.
You've got to download a video, the game looks fantastic... I can't wait to get a copy!
Sorry this post is a bit rushed, but it was 'straight from the heart' and full of emotion... seriously though... you gotta look at it!

Everything you have said is true- Monkey ball is the next big puzzle game. But therein lies the problem... it's a puzzle game.
Let me be honest, puzzle games don't sell. However good they are. Chu Chu rocket has given me so much pleasure in completing it, and playing against friends many a time (every time we were very, very drunk!), however, I would never buy this game! Especially when it appeared next to something like Soul Calibur!!!
So, the moral of the story...
hmmmmm...
there is no justice?
