1st postage.

Noooooo, I can't afford more GBA stuff. My bank account is crippled enough as is.

Oh.....fuck it. OK then.

"Realism has stuck buffers alongside the bowling lane to keep you on track"

Oh now that's cheating!

Anyway, I want this, and will swap a copy of Zelda Advance for one! Any takers?

In total agreement here. This is as must have a title as exists on the GBA.

Dang. One thing I forgot to mention was that you can actually save and return to your game of Monkey Ball mid-session. This is useful since often haven't used up all your continues and so on by the time you get to the end of a journey. A good addition.

You also forgot to mention how the analogue controls of the original have been translated on the digital pad. Or did you already cover that in a first impressions article which I'm too lazy to search for?

I have the feeling that the review doesn't say what exactly this game is about. Graphics, physics, difficulty... But what is it about? I never played this game before...

Got this on holiday in the states when it came out over there (why does it take so long to come over here, it's not like our GBA have PAL screens?)

It is a very good port and great fun.

As for the controls the direction pad tilts the board at a normal speed and the direction pad + button(s) tilts at a greater or lesser angle depending on the button. It becomes second nature after a while.
