This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Kororinpa by  Blog Critics

Kororinpa: Marble Mania is yet another one of those games; simple in design, yet an enjoyable experience through and through. Released by Hudson for the Wii, Kororinpa embodies the spirit of the 1980s arcade classic Marble Madness in a way that the Super Monkey Ball series could only wish it did. In fact, Kororinpa outclasses Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, the Sega franchise’s Wii entry, in just about every way.

New Details are revealed about the Nintendo Wii game Kororinpa:

• Using the tilt aspect of the Wii’s motion sensitive controller, players must seek to navigate their favourite balls, each with their own look and varying benefits, through complex 3D mazes. Therefore, no complicated button combinations are necessary as the tactile controls allow players to tip and tilt their environment in all directions, even upside-down to 180 degrees - making the game intuitive and easy for anyone to pick up and play, whilst still remaining challenging and addictive.
• A steady hand and a keen strategic eye are key to keep your favourite ball on the right track in Kororinpa. As the maze is tilted the ball will move as it would in real life, as if pulled by gravity. Too much slant, though, could see the ball roll out of control off the edge of the maze sending the player back to the start (just as is the case in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz). Whilst progressing along the course, players must also collect all the Red Crystals to unlock the goal, which in turn unlocks the next maze adding yet more precision and strategy to the challenges.
• Gamers can also go head-to-head against a friend using one Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller, splitting the screen either horizontally or vertically. In the multiplayer mode, the first player to reach the end of the maze, collecting all their Red Crystals, will reign victorious over their fellow contender.
• With over fifty mazes available to unlock and five different environments to experience there will always be a new and exciting challenge around the corner. Each environment has its own unique music, obstacles and visual style for the player to enjoy. Whilst progressing through the game players should also keep a look out for Green Crystals that unlock secret environments and even more stages to challenge even the most experienced puzzlers.
• As if that wasn’t tricky enough, each of your balls has a varying level of Response, Speed, Slide and Bounce. Players must, therefore, select their ball carefully in order to successfully complete Kororinpa. As more levels are completed the types of balls that can be selected will increase, including balls such as a ladybug, cat, penguin, watermelon and even a pig, each boasting different characteristics and varying levels of control.
• Kororinpa will roll its way across Europe on Wii on 23rd February 2007 at an estimated retail price of around €49 (approximately £34 in the UK).

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii Game Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz by Eurogamer

Banana Blitz - in many ways - neatly distils everything that’s good and bad about the Nintendo Wii at the present time. It shoehorns an interesting tilt control system onto a game that, well, already had a perfect control system, and then throws 50 dreadful multiplayer mini-games at you - almost none of which provide a solid case that the experience is in any way improved by the use of the Wii remote.

When Super Monkey Ball first graced the GameCube five years ago, those mini-games were the perfect reward for chipping your way through all those fiendish stages where you rolled your Monkey with precision towards the goal. For many, multiplayer sessions on Monkey Bowling, Monkey Golf and the like were the best thing about it.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - If your favorite part about Monkey Ball is the single player experience, you will probably still have a lot of fun with this title and you shouldn’t let this review scare you. If you were looking forward to the multiplayer mode, you should probably keep looking somewhere else. Had this game been packaged with the system instead of Wii sports, there would be many confused owners. At least developers will know how not to use the Wii remote’s features in the future.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the wii game Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz by Advance Media Network

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz - t’s hard to recommend Banana Blitz as a purchase, simply because of its length. The single-player is the real treat here, even though some mini-games prove to be very fun, but it’s short. There are 8 worlds and each has 8 levels in it. Overall, you’re looking at a 8-hour game. If you’re fine buying a game that’s single-player will be over quickly, then you’re in for some fun. I don’t mean to give the impression that Banana Blitz isn’t a great game. But if you’re looking for a game that’s lengthy and will last you a long time, you won’t find that here.

What you will find, however, is a truly fun, challenging and completely satisfying Wii title that demonstrates why the Wii controller rocks.
