Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll gameplay trailer

Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll is something of a troubling proposition. Sure, it might be fun at first -- something we can attest to -- but it could very easily become the most maddening experience in video games. Remember all the times you fell off the old Monkey Ball levels while using the precision inputs of a controller? Yeah, that's probably going to happen a lot more with the Balance Board. That said, after watching the above video, we'll be darned if we don't wanna give it a try.

The Super Monkey Ball games are enough to drive anyone bananas, but i've been waiting for this game since the balance board came out, so you don't see me complaining.

I can't wait to travel down a toothpick thin ramp going 300 MPH while trying to stay perfectly balanced! :D

I haven't really played Monkey Ball since the original Gamecube launch title, but I'd try this out. It's probably my favorite of these types of games; it just hasn't progressed much since the first one. If they get the controls right, it could be a lot of fun.

I hope it gives you the option to use Wiimote and Motion Plus.

Balance Board or Motion plus.

I rented the other monkey ball on Wii and the controls were awful. I played for about an hour before I gave up.
