Super Monkey Ball 2 rolls onto Xbox Live

Published by at

Sometimes the sequel can be better than the original title, and while Super Monkey Ball has been a popular arcade game on many gaming platforms, the first Xbox Live version of the title was passable at best. So I'm glad to report that the appearance of Super Monkey Ball 2 this week for Windows Phone is more 'Empire Strikes Back' than 'Airplane 2.'

There's a lot packed into this version of the game, with a choice of four Monkeys to control through six different worlds, 125 different levels, and three mini-games to keep you hooked when the main mazes are driving you bananas.

If you've never come across the Super Monkey Ball games, then you're in for a treat. Although frustrating, the accelerometer controls allow you to roll the ball that your Monkey is in around the levels to collect the bananas and reach the exit - without falling off the platforms to your death.

As always, we'll have a full review of the regular Xbox Live apps about a week after release, but if you want to dive in and grab the trial version now, head over to the AAWP App Directory.
