Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll: A Fun and Frustrating Adventure
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll is a Wii-exclusive game that was released in 2010. It is the fourth installment in the Super Monkey Ball series, and the second to be developed by Sega instead of Amusement Vision. The game features similar gameplay to previous Super Monkey Ball games, with players controlling monkeys inside balls as they roll through colorful and whimsical levels. However, Step & Roll also introduces some new features, such as the ability to use the Wii Balance Board to control the monkeys.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll is very similar to that of previous games in the series. Players control monkeys inside balls as they roll through levels, collecting bananas and avoiding obstacles. The levels are varied and colorful, and they offer a good challenge.
One of the new features in Step & Roll is the ability to use the Wii Balance Board to control the monkeys. This can be a fun and challenging way to play the game, but it can also be frustrating at times. The Balance Board is not always very responsive, and it can be difficult to make precise movements.
In addition to the main story mode, Step & Roll also features a variety of minigames. These minigames are a fun way to test your skills and compete with friends.
Graphics and Sound
The graphics in Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll are colorful and whimsical. The levels are varied and detailed, and the monkeys are well-animated. The game’s soundtrack is also catchy and upbeat.
Overall
