I'm not really a fan of Monkey Ball.

Monkey Ball is an amazing party game overall (at least, 1 and 2 for Cube were). The party games are just amazing (Monkey Target, Monkey Knife Fight) and rock. When I get a Wii this is gonna be one of the first games I get (after Zelda).

I hate this game. I thought the other games were okay, and I wanted another Wii game, so I bought it. I took it back the next day. The Wii Remote is more of a gimmick than revolutionary in this specifc game. The controls are awful.

Hmm, the one review I read said that it was on par with the Gamecube ones. I guess I'll rent it first to see how it is (once I find a store with Wiis in stock, that is).
