If you feel that the Wii remote was nothing more than a gimmick, Monkey ball does nothing to quell those fears.

By Mindchamber | Review Date:
The reason I purchased the Wii was obviously for the new gameplay mechanics now open to you thanks to the Wii remote. While the remote is alot more gimmicky than I hoped, games like Wii sports really attempts to use the remote to its fullest advantage. Games found in wii sports such as the Bowling, boxing and golf, really attempt to give the player as much movement and range as possible.
Monkey ball doesn't.......
Monkeyball seriously doesn't take real advantage of the wii remote.
the movement registration in monkey seems more digital than analogue.

theres no range of motion registered in most of the minigames, bar the main single player. The most obvious are the mini games similar to Wii sports. The boxing, bowling and golf in Monkey ball all produce these canned animations when ever movement is registered from the remote. Which means what you are doing can almost as easily be done with an average controller.

and if thats the case...

then whats the friggin' point?
