It sucks, I used to have it.  The name and premise are cool, but the controls suck pretty badly, it just isn't any fun.

Ah, sucks. Thanks for the heads-up. :)

Super Monkey Ball 2 rocks so hard! It's games like these that make me swear allegiance to the Cube. I love the bright-and-colorful lastgen look the game has, and the MUSIC is not only great and catchy, but I LOVE the synth quality! (All those Moog leads...  =P~)

And of course the game play is addictive, and after I used the Pro Action Replay to give me 6799999 points, I bought every party game and I am  having a BLAST!!

More games need to be like this. Down with the dark, gory, cliched and contrived FPS games! BRING ON THE FUN! ^.^

Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games ever... and ONLY on the Gamecube.  The PS2 and Xbox versions break the control, though at least on the Xbox the SMB1 stages are in 16:9 480p.  Anway, I love part 2, but I prefer part 1 over it by quite a bit.  No switches or toggles or warps.  Plus I can walk through the hardest setting without much of a problem (though I still have tons of fun).  The music in both is great!

I agree with your last sentence wholeheartedly!

I didn't even know they had an XBOX version... but I love the Gamecube controller the best anyway so I'd get that over the XBOX anyday.

I can never find SMB1, only 2 and this time I decided to buy it. I'm glad I did! :)

I have a GameCube. I even have a GameCube controller.

Maybe I need to get me some of this Super Monkey Ball and give it a try.

You should, it ESPECIALLY kicks ass in multiplayer! 1000000000000000000000000000X better than Mario Party as a party game!

I was hoping for 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001x better but 1000000000000000000000000000x times better will have to do.

Today...

Dusted off the ol' SuperGrafx:
Battle Ace
Aldynes
Ghouls 'n Ghosts

I also played some Art of Fighting while I was at it. Exciting!

For some reason I was really digging Battle Ace today.

I've been playing some games today. Barbie and the Rose Adventures in Happy Land as well as some dark, gory, cliched and contrived FPS games. I preferred the FPS games.

I was just thinking about a segaCD game I used to have called Sewer Shark. You probably never heard of it, anyway, the main idea of gameplay wasn't bad, it combined action shooting with random turns you had to remember (it was like a game of electronic Simon combined with an arcade shooter). But what made the game suck horribly was 1) the music, very catchy but above all annoying because it constantly repeats, 2) the dude that I guess is supposed to be my captain even though I'm flying the vehicle thing, during the entire time you play this game you have some idiot yelling at you and calling you names and shit while you're playing. That is the worse thing a game maker could ever put in a game, makes you feel like you want to open the cockpit door and throw the bastard out but you can't because it's a video game. Corpse Killer was the only real decent game on the segaCD.

No way, we totally know what Sewer Shark is. We've discussed it many times here. Many times.

I just played some Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition for PSP. Even more awesome than the first one! Two gems I have. Play them soon I will.

Yeah, it beats the hell out of Lunar 1 & 2, Soul Star, Batman Returns, Road Avenger, Final Fight, etc etc etc.

Surely you jest, terrormask.  Their are many more quality games for the SegaCD.  In addition to Joe's picks - check out the Snatcher, Dune, and Silpheed.

Played a little more Fray yesterday and finally talked to the right people so that I could advance.  What in the hell made them throw a little shmup action in the middle of a RPG?  Thankfully it was short, 'cause it wasn't very good (lots of slowdown).
