    I was so excited when I saw you were gonna review this game! I know how much you love this series so I needed to hear your thoughts on this! Great review man!!
    How close to the original would you say Monkey Billiard feels? Like, does the white ball still goes hitting everywhere if you do a full power shot? It was so fun and chaotic in the original! That's always been a favourite of mine that I still play to this day so that's why I had to ask! :')

    • @RetroBreak
      @RetroBreak  Před 2 lety +3

      Glad you enjoyed it! I’d say Billiards feels pretty good from what I played! Not quite as hectic, and you can only play against AI, there’s no single player option, but it’s still really fun to play and probably my fave mini game

    Another top vid! That was such a great package from Sega and it was touching to see how much it meant to you! As much as I adore the first two Gamecube games, I have waited to see how this handled on modern consoles. Thanks for the great review as despite the control and Monkey Target issues, I would love to add this to the collection 👍🏻

  • @andriepic6564
    @andriepic6564 Před 2 lety

    I found this type of game so difficult to control.
    I once tried the demo of SMB on Switch and struggled a lot.
    But, after watching your vids. I become interested in it.
    It's actually fun and challenging. The characters inside the ball are also cute. 😍
    Thank you for reviewing this game. Appreciate it very much.

    Great review! This game looks amazing, I can't wait to play it as a big fan of the first two games. This'll be my first time experiencing the Deluxe stages as well! I just really wish there was an option to turn lives on and off, kinda like Crash 4's modern and retro modes. Hoping they polish up Monkey Target a bit too, lots of nostalgia for that minigame!
    (and props for wearing the hat, haven't seen any other reviewers try it on yet... cowards)

    It has some issues, both bug and small, but it’s still a really solid game. I still think the original controls and camera are superior, but it didn’t take long for me to get used to Banana Mania’s controls.
    If anything, I can say that the way this game feels is different, but not bad. The worst thing I can maybe say is that it doesn’t really get the essence of the original games, but honestly, that’s not too big of a deal for me as long as it’s still fun, and to me, I think this game is really fun.
    Except for Monkey Target. They kinda ruined that one.

    • @RetroBreak
      @RetroBreak  Před 2 lety +1

      Basically my feelings too, it has problems, but you can look past them and learn to enjoy it. And there’s certainly loads of content and a good set of challenges to keep you busy!

    • @RyderPlatinumWarpstar
      @RyderPlatinumWarpstar Před 2 lety

      @@RetroBreak @Rob Sammons Yeah it feels different but it doesn't ruin the experience for me. Worst case scenario is that some tricks aren't possible or some stages are harder because of them. If I really wanted to have the original controls I'd just go play the original, but there are plenty of reasons to play Banana Mania so I really don't mind the new controls that much.
