[...] Un autre atout : l'accélèromètre. Ou une toute nouvelle manière de jouer! Ca donne des jeux assez sympas : Labyrinth ou Super Monkey Ball. [...]

After the update, it still crashes on the splash screen half the time, and I still can't control the damn monkey.

The game only seems playable when you are sitting in a chair correctly. I cannot play this game when laying down at all. They should have an option to calibrate based on your current position and change it every time you play.

The controls *are* currently flawed, you get pretty much exactly the same levels in DS Touch and Roll, Wii and GC Monkeyballs – On all three of those machines the controls are infinitely more refined. 3-6 has appeared before but was much more reasonable!

The weird "ARG I turned too quickly i can't possibly recover from this!" thing doesnt happen on the other consoles (well it does to some extent on the Wii but it's nowhere near as bad as the iphone version), I've completed all the Monkeyball games up to this point but the controls are supposed to be intuitive and *not* inherently frustrating.

So I'm looking forward to the patch so it'll handle how it's obviously supposed to. Like all 5 of the other monkeyballs.

I think the game is really well playable, and i have no problems at all with the controls. Still haven't finished it, but that is more due to my general failing than problems with controls.

@Bloc Party: Oh, that level is NASTY. Still, it's enormously satisfying when you finally beat it.

I really hope the new controls are optional. While the controls are difficult, it's incredibly satisfying when you master them and are whizzing along narrow ledges with no rails with no difficulty!

Woo-hoo! Now maybe I'll actually enjoy playing this game, rather than tearing my hair out in frustration!
