Games: Super Monkey Ball, iPhone

The monkeys haven't changed - you still choose among AiAi, Gongon and friends - and neither has the transparent ball in which they roll around a series of mazes suspended over a bottomless precipice. The big change here is that rather than using an analogue joystick to tilt the maze delicately in the right direction to steer your monkey of choice around increasingly testing holes, ramps and obstacles, you simply tilt your iPhone. Initially confusing in that flat (ie the position in which your monkey stops rolling) is actually very slightly angled towards you for better visibility, it quickly becomes clear what the game wants you to do: use microscopically fine movements to guide your simian friend to its goal. Total lack of camera control is a problem, as is the movement of public transport, which will happily pitch the most cautiously ro

History Proves the iPhone Will Never Win the Handheld Gaming Wars

Super Monkey Ball is arguably the current zenith of iPhone tilt gaming. The gameplay involves navigating your bebubbled monkey through a series of elevated, edgeless mazes without letting him fall—it's fun, if repetitive. Nintendo’s Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is similar: The player guides Kirby through mazes using tilt-sensitive control, collecting stars along the way.
