2.0 out of 5 stars Too frustrating for younger children, January 9, 2000

This review is from: Marble Madness (Game Cartridge)

I bought this as a gift for a 5-year old, who is quite accomplished through many levels at several other Game Boy games (Donkey Kong, Pac Man, etc.) He was far more frustrated with this than any other game. The Game Boy game direction control is not adequate. Ideally, a slower marble speed as a training or beginner level may help (although I recognize the game gives unlimited lives within the alotted time and real marbles have one speed on a given slope). It is a difficult game best suited for older, accomplished gamers.

Marble Madness, a classic puzzle/adventure type game is back for the GBC, and it is as good as the original NES version. The graphics are just as good, and the gameplay is fantastic. This is a must buy gameboy game. I thouroughly enjoyed it.

The original marble madness is really good. it was ported to the gameboy and had great phisics and was exactly like the amiga and arcade versions, there was only one porblem, it was in black and white. Well my friends this new game was supposed to fix all that. Unfortunatly it failed. Hear me out and I'll tell you why. Instead of modifying the old engine of marble madness they oppted to make an entirly new one, Big mistake, although this looks exactly like the first one its very different in gameplay. First of all the phisics are all wrong, hills present little problem to get over and if you are going through a lot of twisty doo dads(for lake of a better name) you will fall off instead of skiming off the sides like in the original. Another problem is that it slows down in some areas, Slows down? why? Its not over the limits of what a gbc(gameboy color) can do, all I can attribute this to is the game company rushing it, and therefore forgeting to fix some major bugs and slowdown issues. Also, unlike the original, the muliplayer was pulled out of this version at the last second, so no playing head to head with your friend:( All in All this was a rushed game that should have had at least two more monthes of programing and bug fixing before it was released. On the plus side it has one more level than the old version, and its in color. P.S. I recomend the original gb version, it may not be in color, but at least you can play it with a friend, and it has great phisics.
