This was my entry point into the Monkey Ball series, and I was excited to try it based on what I've heard. However, I ultimately thought that it was an interesting idea hindered in execution chiefly by its level design. Some of the stages are great, others are incredibly annoying and poorly thought out, and most are just mediocre.

I want to give extra points for all the bonus games included, but most of those are just filler that aren't really worth playing for long...
