that's the funny thing about Monkey Ball. I found the battles to boring and the golf not advanced enough. The bowling is actually pretty good when you get past the fact that the swingometer is so damn fast. Anyway the target one looked boring at first but as you gain skill in it and play against someone else the tension is amazing - it's hilarious when you are neck and neck with a friend and you watch them be greedy and try to get the 300 pointer and they just gently roll over the top and down into the sea and you go HA! HA! LOSER , IN YOUR FACE etc.
