The corner of the game was invited by Taiwan SEGA to try it out. Let’s take a look at the special taste of the game after you taste it.
Since this work is a completely remastered version, the image quality and the character model are naturally nothing to say. In the classic world after the screen refurbishment, the main goal of the player is still to help the cute little monkey staying in the ball scroll hard, in the “story mode”, “challenge mode”, “practice mode”, “special mode”, etc. The maps of the main game will go straight ahead to the end, and the scenes included in each mode will be repeated. The story mode is more challenging and practice. After staged clearance, a short film will be played to explain the plot, which feels like a small entertainment outside of the experience.
Players can control the basic characters “Ai Ai”, “Mimi”, “Baby”, “Just now”, “Doctor”, “Yang Yang”, and scroll through various types of scenes such as jungles, volcanoes, and universes. The more difficult the checkpoint is, the more difficult it will undoubtedly be. The narrow routes and merciless turns come all the way, making it seem like you are taking the super-standard automobile and motorcycle driver’s license exam.If you think it’s not enough to play 6 cute monkeys, this time there will be Kid (Beat) from “Jet Set Radio” and “Sonic Boy”SonicCame into the single-player main game “Exclusive” with 6 characters including Tars and Kiryu Kazuma from “Dragon in Man”, so you don’t have to be a monkey.
Not only are the characters different in appearance, the “bananas” that can be collected during the clearance process will also give bananas a brand new appearance according to the characteristics of the guest role. For example, Sonic and Tars are changing the collection of golden rings, Kidd corresponds to one can of spray paint, and Kiryu Ima has energy drinks to drink all-you-can-drink.
After the selected character enters the game level, it is ready to move the left analog joystickcontrolThe rolling direction of the sphere, the analog joystick on the right side assists in the adjustment of the perspective of the map platform, and use the X key to jump over obstacles in time. Just move your fingers without feeling? You can turn on the motion sensing mode to make the whole body move together.
Simple operation, although there are not many buttons that need to be controlled, it is not easy to practice scrolling well. Often a corner is missed, either passing the finish line, or falling directly off the cliff. Even with the motion sensing mode, the number of failures is very frequent. Coupled with the continuous rotation of the screen, it is easy to dizzy after watching it for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to slow down at the beginning to grasp the feeling, and then to hone the show operation later, instead of rushing straight into the brain from the beginning. It’s really easy to get hand-disabled. This game provides “accessibility” to allow players to slow down when necessary and adjust their route before setting off.
If you feel a little lonely to challenge, hone your operating skills, and improve your speed alone, this game includes “Monkey Race” and “MonkeyGolf”, “Monkey Shooting”, “Monkey Bowling” and other 12 kinds of family funParty game, Supports up to 4 people to play, so that players don’t have to worry about being accompanied on the road of monkey ball rolling.
The gameplay of “Monkey Racing” is similar to the “Super Mario Racing” series. They are all equipped with props for track racing, but the overall design is more sunny. “Monkey Golf” means playing the monkey ball as a white ball. A total of 18 holes are scored according to the par on each map. Players can measure the distance, and observe the terrain, wind direction and swing strength.
“Monkey Shooting” is a bit of an old arcade shooting game. Players have to constantly move the front sight to shoot beetles and other constantly appearing monsters. Occasionally, there will be special effects of expanding the magazine and doubling the score to improve the efficiency of getting high scores. When the mobs are almost clear, they have to work together to defeat the boss in the end. The above 3 kinds of mini games are not difficult to operate, and they are more approachable than the one-player game.
As for “monkey bowling”, there are eating skills. In addition to setting the position of the shot by moving left and right, but also the angle of the shot and the degree of rotation of the ball. If the angle of the shot and the spin are not well mastered, it is easy to miss the opportunity that could have been completely down, or to deviate directly from the track to wash the ditch. Compared with the traditional bowling games, it has a certain degree of difficulty. It can be regarded as an item that requires more skills and practice among the 12 party games.
