Marble Blast Ultra 

 

I can be a rather finicky person when it comes to porting games from one system to another. In this case however I think the port of Marble Blast Gold from the PC to the Xbox 360 was a spectacular move by Garage Games. Players can download this fun little puzzle game for a few dollars, and it cuts back on all of the problems with stock and retailers. A lot of the middle men are taken out, which equates to a savings to us gamers.

The graphics are slightly improved from the PC version, as they have been softened a little. The sounds are as good as the PC version however it has been some time and they are just not as great as I once remember. The control scheme works so much better on the Xbox 360 that is warms my heart. Sixty levels of varying difficulty really add a lot of playability, and trying to figure out certain things add replay value as well.

Garage Games really thought out the control scheme in a very intelligent manner. I love good, clean video games like this one. Rolling a marble around levels has never been more fun on the Xbox 360 than Marble Blast Ultra. I hope to see some sequels to this game in the near future.
