This review is from: Marble Blast Ultra [Online Game Code] (Software Download)
Marble Blast Ultra is a great game for the right audience. The graphics are great, the game play is simple and entertaining, and the achievements make for some lasting enjoyment. It's a very simple game where you roll the marble around the course, and it gets a lot harder than you might think. For five dollars, it's a very well done family-friendly game that does not get old quickly. It's also great that you can download the demo first to see if you like it. With the ability to play a few levels before buying and the fact that it's only $5, you can't go wrong with Marble Blast Ultra.

This review is from: Marble Blast Ultra [Online Game Code] (Software Download)
Marble Blast is a platformer where you will roll and jump your marble through levels of increasing difficulty. The objective is to reach the goal as quickly as possible, and occasionally to collect gems then reach the exit. You are timed and each stage has a par time, however you can take as long as you need to complete it. While the game starts out incredibly easy it get very difficult before the end. It is fun to play and with practice you will be rolling and jumping through different textures and terrains at very high speeds.
Those same skills will help in the multiplayer mode as well. The competitive online components puts you against other players in a race to collect gems within the time limit. This mode teaches you how to move very very fast even while risking falling off the stage. There are several maps included, and online expansions available. Its very fun.

I don't know who remembers it or not, but Marble Madness is class awesomeness. Move said marble down paths and through obstacles to finish line. I SUCKED at it, but was addicted to it none the less.
Marble Blast Ultra is really fun and really challenging. The easy levels are easy, no doubt. The intermediate levels are a definate mix of easy and difficult. The hard levels are pretty insane with a few easy ones mixed in. The Good: -Graphics are simple and smooth. It's pretty to look at, very colorful, and easy on the eyes. No bright flashes, no background annoyances, etc. What you get is the marble, the level itself, and the clouds. -Gameplay - simple but tricky at times. There are multiple items that assist you along the way. A helicopter which allows you to glide down to another platform, a rocket to give you a speed burst to get you up a steep hill, an hour glass that stops the clock for 5 seconds, and a spring to give you super jump. Other than that, the left stick controls ball speed and direction, the right stick controls the camera view. There is a button to jump and there is a small blast button which I havn't really figured out a use for, but it gives you a little extra hop. The Bad: -The start takes a few seconds. This isn't a problem until you find yourself listening to the woman's echo voice and seeing the start graphics every time the ball is set into game play. Can get annoying, but the game is just too much fun to worry. -The camera is zoomed in. It's tough to get a bearing on where you are and where to go. You have to learn to turn the camera and move it up and down to get the right angle. This is workable, and many games have this issue, but I do wish that it had an option of different fixed camera angles. -Some of the par times, which are necessary to meet in order to get all achievements are ridiculous! Overall: -If you like playing arcade games, this is a must. I would DL the demo, but if you think you like the sound of it now, I guarantee you will like the demo. It also has available expansions, which is great since a lot of games have no further support after release. Achievements: -They are realistic. There are achievements for beating all levels for easy, intermediate, and hard (20 levels each). There are achievements for doing all levels in par time (I was able to knock off easy and intermediate, and so far, missing 1 in hard with another 12 levels to go, I expect more than 1). There are also easter eggs to collect (20 in total, would recommend reading a guide to find them all. I havn't looked yet, but the 2 I got so far are not easy to reach). Overall, you should be able to get all 200 without tooooo much work. Expansions have extra points, but I am not sure what they are since I don't own it yet.
