Nauseating and Frustrating Experience
28 of 37 found this helpful Okay, first off I wanted to say that I bought this game based on an above average set of reviews I read that said it was really fun and intuitive. I thought my son (8 years old) and I (34 year old Dad) would really have a blast playing it together. According to the description it has a ton of mulitplayer games and single player games. I really enjoyed playing marble madness and other table tilting type of games, but this one has not taken me by storm.
When you start your first world you will be looking at some nice new shiny fly by, but when you start moving the wii-mote around you will notice that the whole table / world is moving, not the monkey in the ball. That is when the nauseating feeling kicked in. Especially when you are not the one playing and you are watching someone else.
After a bit of getting used to tilting the table and using the "A" button or flicking the controller up to jump, you start to get through each of the many worlds the game has. But even then, I am wondering how many people actually make it past the first few complete worlds as the difficulty really starts to increase dramatically.
That is when the frustration level really started to kick in. So, my son and I tried to play the multiplayer games, and I can't say there weren't a ton to choose from, but because of that, each one had it's own complete set of controls. This made it a challenge each time you started a new mini-game to get used to how to control the thing. My son said to me, he loved the monkey ball games on his gamecube and could control them easily with his gamecube controller, but he had an extremely hard time gathering the bananas, let alone getting to the end of the world in the time allotted.
Don't get me wrong, the game can be a nice diversion from Epic adventures like Zelda, but it doesn't seem to be geared toward a casual non-stressful type of game. It gets very frustrating and nauseating and that is why my son and I decided to trade it in for Rayman: Raving Rabbids. It is another Mini-game type of playing. I couldnt' be happier, as that game has been a lot easier to control and a lot easier on the eyes and stress level.
If you are a long time Monkey Ball Fan, I am sure you will enjoy this game, but for a parent or child who has little patience and are looking for a fun set of mini-games, this is not the game for you. My honest opinion is that this game may have been originally designed for the cube, and at the last minute adapted to the Wii and it's control scheme.
I hope this review helps any other parent out there looking for a new game for their child, and for anyone else who may be thinking about buying this Wii game. Thanks for reading.

Great Experience with First Sandisk MP3 Player
66 of 73 found this helpful I decided to buy first MP3 player after finding out how reasonably priced the non-Apple brand players are now. I saw that Circuity City had these on sale for $64.99, so I went to Best Buy (Because I had gift cards from Christmas) and had Best Buy Price Match Circuit City. This was nice because they match the price plus 10% of the difference. My purchase price ended up being around $59 before tax. Although there are some great deals on eBay for the same thing. I just thought I would share with you the price I paid so you can compare prices for it wherever you decide to purchase it.
Now onto the Pros and Cons of the unit...
Pros-
Small and compact
Voice Recorder built in.
Flash Memory instead of Hard Drive. Better for Running with.
512mb ideal for fast and simple transfers. I didn't want a huge amount of
memory just for a 2 hour workout.
Comes with the armband, headphones, USB cable AND one AAA battery to start you out with.
Acutally can play FM stations, unlike a lot of the other brands out there. Very nice for picking up the TV stations at the Gym.
Sandisk website has Firmware updates which are easy to install and update your player. Do this first when you buy one as it deletes all your stuff in the process.
Backlit, Equalizer, Shuffle, etc. are also nice little features.
Cons-
Small buttons sometimes hard for large fingers.
FM receiver a little weak indoors.
Wearing this unit with the supplied armband is a little bulky because of it's shape is like a lipstick container. Unlike some of the more flat models out there.
Menu takes a little getting used to, but has optional features that make it more simplified if needed. (ie. advanced menu & smart menu on/off)
All in all, I really can't think of many things that are terribly wrong with this MP3 player. It is doing well for me and I am planning on grabbing another one for my wife before the sale ends. I was stuck between this model and the e130 model with the expandable Sandisk SD slot, but I like this one for it's voice recording and compact size. I like Sandisk's customer support 800 number. They were really helpful on a couple of features that I was trying to figure out.
If I can offer one bit of advice about purchasing MP3 players, don't buy more memory than you absolutely need. The transfer times for some of these 30GB players is insane from the people I talk to. Figure out when and how long you will listen to it at a time and go from there. I like being able to quickly change all of the tracks. I actually use the MusicMatch Program for Windows XP, and it works very well with this unit.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and enjoy whatever unit you decide to buy.
