As fantastic a game as it ever was. It's one of those rare games which are so good they feel genuinely ageless; pure, uninhibited pick up and play genius with not one button to press.

Of course the idea with Deluxe is that even if that's beyond you so much has been brought together that there's enough to entertain regardless.

Ultimately, if you've not had the pleasure of playing this on the Cube and you have a couple of mates to enjoy this title with, then it's definitely worth the money. Better yet, wait for this one to drop ten pounds in price and pick up a bargain worth rolling home with.

This is the perfect Game for Super Monkey Ball fans, It has over twice the content while still having everything great from the past games.

Deluxe is not good as 2 but does very well at keeping the series fresh. The gameplay is what you expect and still has that charm. I definitely recommend this game.

The ultimate party game. An over the top game with an epic story mode.

The conversion from the GameCube originals are flawless, and although some may bemoan the lack of Live support, this shouldn't take anything away from this perfect console party piece.

Where SMBDX earns my recommendation as a must-buy is with its awesome lineup of 12 party games.

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is the best version of a great game, anyone wanting to play this game (but doesn't own a Gamecube) has no excuse anymore.

With 300 single-player stages there is plenty of monkey rolling gameplay in store, however, we could do without the lackluster story. Despite its flaws, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is as addictive as the likes of "Tetris" and "Lemmings" and worth a rental at the very least.

It's a fantastic package if you've missed this infectiously charming series up until now, though some of its luster has faded with time.
