Advantages: Monkey target is awesome

Disadvantages: Everything else is mediocre

Though this game contains one of my favourite mini games for the gamecube, I would not recommend buying this game nor would I say that it is a very good game. Essentially the game centres around doing things with a monkey inside a ball. If in single player this involves rolling the ball around a maze, collecting bananas as you go. If in multiplayer it involves competing in mini games with your 'monkeyball'.

The good mini game I referred to is called Monkey Target. In this mini game you start off by rolling your monkey ball down a ramp to gain speed, you then open up the ball to form gliding wings. The objective is then to land on targets to score points. Different targets are worth differing amounts of points. In addition there are bananas to collect which give you upgrades. It is tremendous fun with a few people and is sure to fill an hour or two.

Unfortunately, both the single player and other mini games (billiards, fight, bowling) are all fairly poor and you won't want to spend more than a quarter of an hour on them.

Summary: Not worth the money
