These are all short games most under six hours to beat that I have waaaay more time in then what I'm sure most would consider healthy. I'm not going to count online time or even social time. These games are the digital equivalent of crack, games where you spend hours alone huddled in front of the tv like a blowbo spends shakily masturbating behind a dumpster.
I played this in the arcade because it combined two of my favorite things, monkeys and novelty controllers (the arcade game has a banana joystick) One of my favorite gamecube games despite the lacking of bananaing.
Even though the mini games aren't as fun as the first games the single player game now has monkey cutscenes and a “story” AWESOME! Unfortunately this is the last good monkey ball game. Between tilt controls and saga murdering all it's properties the odds of fun monkeyballing in the future look slim.
My first real import. I beat this game in an afternoon and I'm sure I've played through it a few hundred times. Who wouldn't want to play through a level where you cheer on a sushi chef as he keeps a cat from peeing on his floor, (all the while a song plays in the background about a guy that thinks he looks like a sewer rat) a few dozen times. It's RAD
Adding to the improvements of elite beat agents but retaining the Japanese quirk and all around better “beats” (While I love the songs in EBI the patterns just better match the music in the Quendan games) the 2nd game is a real treat. A day one purchase/import for me and it claimed way to big of a chunk of my life. The final levels are so fun, perfect for this type of game.
From floundering on easy to finally beating cowboys from hell on expert this game was a huge time sink. Your mum was right that rock and roll music is the devil!
I went to a 24 hour walmart at midnight to score this game. HORRIBLE IDEA. Took them 3 hours to get off their asses and unpack the game. In that time I bought way too many snacks and the dvd of cars. I ended up playing up to freya on expert, getting horribly frustrated then having to go work a 13 hour shift for sony without sleeping. Definitely worth it
Went to the SF bestbuy to get this at midnight (nov 20, it's sad I remember the day) Went back across the bay and played this for 2 or 3 days straight with my roommates. When I say 2 days straight I mean 2 days no sleep just boozing and rawking. This game has changed the way I listen to music. Now when I hear a song I break it down into a bunch of little bits. I am often overheard saying “this would be good in rockband”
It's sad really, played about an average of an hour a day since release. IT STILL HAS ME! Stupid dlc, stupid ion drums!
