"When GameCube debuted last year it was supported by several key titles unique to the system. Sega delivered up Super Monkey Ball, an addictive action-puzzler that featured impressive multiplayer party games. It went on to be a sleeper hit and sold above Sega's expectations, and rightly so as it's one of IGNcube's favorite titles. Thanks to this success, Sega will bring the sequel Super Monkey Ball 2 to GameCube in Fall 2002. Featuring more of all that monkey-loving goodness, the Amusement Vision developed game should go on to become the ultimate party game to own this season.

Advantages: All-new Story Mode, new gameplay modes.
Disadvantages: SMB 2 came rather fast, meaning this game is pretty rushed.
