I recently purchased this game for my 6 year old son. It is now his favorite DS title. Monkey Ball contains an entire collection of fun action games.

Pros:
- Contains a collection of fun action games on one "disk"
- Easy to use for younger children - no reading required
- Fun with no violence
- It seems to be challenging
- Kids up to college age borrow the game and have fun with it

Cons:
- Repetitive music could drive parents crazy during long car rides (-;

Great game and fun!

Hey y'all I beat this game in literally 30 minutes. The gameplay is choppy and I doesnt prefer the graphics. "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." This best descibes the game.

Don't touch the monkeys!!!

Sega's Super Monkey Ball series has always been one of those kind of franchises that offer simplistic fun, but what's made the series so memorable has always been it's unique charm and presentation. The series makes it's debut on the DS with Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll; and while it offers much of what fans would expect from the series, there's nothing here you haven't seen before, and haven't seen done better either. Featuring 100 stages and the tried but true rolling monkey in a ball gameplay, Touch & Roll also offers some touch screen controls (hence the title) for the main game mode that are incredibly awkward to say the least. The various mini-games, which there aren't nearly enough of, are where the real fun of Touch & Roll is to be had, but there's nothing here that you can't find on any of the console versions of the series, or even the older GBA title, which is actually better than this DS edition. That being said, Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll is definitely worth checking out for DS owners or fans of the franchise craving some portable monkey action, but don't expect anything relatively new here.

Loads of fun for all ages!

We have 3 boys (ages 8, 7, & 3) and 2 girls (ages 6 & 7) and they ALL love playing this one! The two oldest boys used to be the only ones that played their DS's.....now everyone wants to play Monkey Ball - even Mom and Dad!

Not as much fun as other monkey ball games

I Bought this game thinking that it would be as good as the other versions of this game. i ended up being pretty disappointed. the story mode on this game is extremly short and once you beat that, the only reason to play this game is for the mini games. 2 of the minigames, out of the 6, are actually fun (Golf, Air hockey,). if you like to play repetitive mini games, then buy this game. otherwise don't.

it's good.

I've been a fan of monkey ball for a little bit now. True, I've never played it on nintendo before, only x-box, but I thought this was a good edition to the franchise. There are 100 levels, i guess half of which are truly new. I was never exactly an expert on the xbox version, but there were a good amount of really challenging levels here. My main complaint is the amount. Weren't there like 3 times the amount in previous versions? As for controls, the stylus is fine. I got used to it in about 5 minutes, and i see no reason everyone can't get used to it. The d-pad works too, but the stylus is better for most of the levels. there are a few levels, however that are probably meant for the dpad, as they require precision of direction over manouverability. It's actually pretty clever how they did that. As for minigames, I've been pissed that monkey target is missing, but I didn't realize you can unlock minigames. if it's not an unlockable, then I'd say that's a big flaw. i mean, that's what my friends and I play, target and boxing. what else is there? seriously. overall it's a solid edition to monkey ball in my opinion. i had fun with it. just wish it were longer.

slightly dissapointing

I'm a giant super monkey ball fan and this one might be the worst. The stages are 3-D and the monkeys are 2-D....blech. The party games are awesome, but the story mode is impossible, the controls are pretty skectchy, but maybe be enjoyable for some younger and beginner gamers.

game play C

overall around a B-

My husband bought this for our 8 year old daughter a few months ago. She loves it (at 8, she does get occasionally frustrated with the more challenging levels). When she needed help she would ask her dad and 12 year old sister. The three of them are now addicted. They all three play it and no one minds when the younger one happens to need help with this game. A big hit at our house.
