are you playing story mode? because honestly that's just monkey ball 2 level design in a nutshell: bizarre gimmicks and setpieces, varying from "what the hell was that, it was over before it started" to "what the hell was that, that was really dumb"
it isn't nearly as tight as the first game's pure obstacle course level design
when it does have obstacle course level design of its own it can be pretty decent, even if sometimes still underwhelming due to difficulty and length issues

i feel like the biggest issue with the new physics engine is that it's way harder to fight a slope, making once-easy levels like floor bent long, zigzag slopes, and cross floors way more difficult than they ever were in the originals

i think dx actually had some good level design
it was a lot more in the style of 1's, which i greatly prefer to the kind of weird stuff 2 would do
there's some decent creativity in there with some good variety, but it doesn't seem to forget that it's a monkey ball game like 2 could with its weird levels like teapot, amida lot, spasmodic, synchronized, air hockey, etc
