Well, should I?
I've found Rogue Leader to be really good but It doesn't have any multiplayer content and I am getting bored with the one game...

Is it worth buying?

What do you expect? I'd get bored of any game if I played 10 hours straight!

Super Monkey Ball is an absolute riot.

You want replayability?

This is one to go for. It rewards you for gaining points by opening up the three mini games of pool, 10 pin bowling, and golf. There are also secret levels which are granted if you complete a difficulty mode with no lives lost.

You want multi-player?

Split screen racing or boxing, alternating target flight mode, or alternating main game. The game lends itself to an evening in with friends extremely well. Also, you'll all be in stitches as you watch each other make mistakes, or on the edge of your seats as you ride on the very edge of a ledge, with your monkey waving arms frantically trying to maintain balance.

You want appeal?

There are few games that will draw the non-gamer to the console, this is one of them. I own (ahem) quite a few games on different systems, this is one of three that my non-gamer wife will play.

I would recommend buying the game, but if you need convincing rent it for a night and find yourself hunting for it in the shops the next day.

SMB is great!!! You don't need telling that you should get it really :) but if your looking for a multi-player game which has Bowling, Golf and snooker not forgetting Monkey fight, Race and Target and the one player which also can be played with friends, o.k i think you know how good it is....

If its multiplayer action you're after then you can't go far wrong with Super Monkey Ball....

It's superb multiplayer. Even my non-gamer neice thought that monkey fight was the best thing ever, to the point where she copied the noises they make every time she won
