  • Summary: Touch & Roll combines the Monkey Ball series' legendary addictiveness with perhaps the perfect platform in the form of the Nintendo DS and its touch-screen technology. Ten crazy worlds with 10 levels each offer 100 puzzle trays designed to frustrate and delight - 50 of which are all new and DS exclusive. Use the DS stylus and touch screen to guide AiAi, MeeMee, GonGon and Baby through this slice of monkey madness. Four classic party games playable in both single and multiplayer modes - Monkey Race, Monkey Fight, Monkey Mini Golf and Monkey Bowling. Two all-new DS exclusive party games - Monkey Hockey and Monkey Wars. Wireless multiplayer via ad-hoc Wi-Fi connectivity. [Sega]… Expand

    It’s a great pick-up-and-play title, and it’s got a Tetris-quality addiction factor.

    Patience is a virtue, though, and player perseverance should eventually reap its reward, and, as stated earlier, any mounting frustrations are soon forgotten because Touch & Roll is simply impossible to dislike.

    Much like the elusive banana itself, Touch & Roll is a double-edged sword: equipping the player with a delicious, colorful core, but then burdening them with a slippery peel that they’re not quite sure what to do with.

    Perhaps if Sega spent more time refining the control scheme rather than coming up with a title screen design where AiAi encourages you to fondle his heart-shaped butt, they would have produced another classic in this quirky and otherwise fun series.

    I think this game is awesome. Some levels are extremely hard, while others are beatable in less than a minute. The stylus/button pad makes it all the better, & it's even better with multiplayer and party games. Most games are repeated fromother game systems, such as PS2- but that doesn't make them any easier to beat! The colors are energizing and eye-popping, but the only downsize is there's no Wi-Fi. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants a challenging game, & likes monkeys bouncing around in clear balls.… Expand

    This cute and crazy game is addictive and fun for all ages. The only problem with it is that there are not enough levels to satisfy your addiction with the game once you start. The mini games are great to play with friends and the credits will never be boring again, but you'll have to buy it to find out why!… Expand

    This is the best game fior anyone young or old boy or girl it is so asddictive you wont stop playing you will just keep saying one more try. Although the controlls or farily difficult it just makes the game more difficult until you really learn to know it. With the new 50 levels and the previous 50 this game is a must have for ds players!… Expand

    You want to hate it. You want to put it down and give up as it's pretty hard and frustrating. But you cant! SERIOUSLY addictive but not in a bad way. You've got to be pretty patient with the main game but the party games aren't so hard. Though the game is kind of difficult it's still a decent game.… Expand
