Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, like the previous Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, is a fun ball-rolling design with a nice stack of challenges and a hit-or-miss pile of mini-games. There are some neat inclusions like the Super Mario Galaxy-like co-op mode where other players can shoot obstacles out of the players' way. The added balance board support wasn't that much of a selling point – on paper it sounds like a match made in heaven but in practice it's just a great big load of frustration. Skip the balance board support and you'll have a good time.
