[quote name='token2k6']wonder if this is in stores too..I'd be down for this game, however, they say tilt mechanics make it hard to keep track with the 3D..anyone have this game and like it?[/QUOTE]
Tilting does mess with the 3D a little bit, so IMO that's something to do with 2D the second time you go through the game. You should play and complete it first in 3D though, at least IMO.
However...
[quote name='sciafb']3D doesn't add much to the game from what i've heard, so its best to just turn it off.[/QUOTE]
You heard incorrectly. Monkey Ball has some of the best 3D on the system, at least from what I've seen. I think you'd be missing out on a really cool experience by turning 3D off. For a second playthrough, however, tilt + 2D could be fun.
For the record, it does seem slightly easier than past Monkey Ball games, but I like it a lot so far. If you're into Monkey Ball, I'd say it's worth picking up.
