My children and I played this at Grandma's house and fell in love with it. We are going to be getting our own very soon! It can be quite challenging (in a good way).

My 4 year old twin boys could not pass levels without me helping them hold the wiimote, but they loved watching their marbles roll off cliffs and fall down holes anyway. They also love seeing what new mazes come up after we've passed one. My 8 and 10 year old daughters had an easier time, but still needed my assistance once in a while. But that is good, they found it challenging, and therefore wanted to keep playing and playing until they were able to beat the level.

I also had a lot of fun with it, and had to fight my kids for a turn. This will be the game that Mommy and Daddy will stay up late playing after the kids are in bed!!

Love it!!

I am not a big video game player and I really like this game! I recently got a Wii (within the last month) and I purchased a used copy of this game on amazon..... I received my game a few days ago and I can hardly stop. You should get this game....gamer or not!

Bring out your inner marble maniac!

I love this game! It's kinda like hardcore Marble Madness. Everything I expected and more. A nice selection of marbles to choose from. The controls "feel good." Very responsive to movement. The musical score, while many tunes are drawn from previous Hudson titles, is quite nice. You'll want to throw your marble (or controller) at the tv in some places, but don't ! It can be done!

FUN GAME

I am still not sure how the developers did manage to conserve the magic of this marble based game in a video type game. Anyway, you are the little marble and must roll along a certain path, jump, speed up, slow down, going up down several levels etc,

Its amazing how real the sounds are when the marble f.e hits the wood etc.

The title marble mania already says it but perhaps Marble madness would have expressed better the excitement you get when playing it.

Its nice that this is actually a very relaxing game, where you need to concentrate and keep a calm hand.

My wive and I spend the whole evening together in front of the game trying to master all sorts of levels.

Think about it like your personal mini holiday trip, turn on the answering machine, leave everything behind you and come back to reality after a relaxed match.

This is exactly what you might want to challenge after your 8+ hour workday !!

Fun and addictive

This game is different from both Super Monkey Ball and Mercury. I'm a big Super Monkey Ball fan and I really enjoyed this game. The levels go from easy to challenging and you can collect different balls with different characteristics to help you get through levels. Some stick better and roll slower, some are faster to get you better time, but also more bouncy. The one thing that makes this game less frustrating than a round of Super Monkey Ball is that there is no concept of lives or a time limit. If you fall off the level, you restart at the beginning or a check point and the time just keeps increasing. Also, in order to pass the level, you must collect all of the crystals around the level. There's one special crystal on each level, and if you collect enough of them, you can access secret levels in the game.

One thing that kind of irked me at the beginning, but as I played I got used to it, was that the board will not rotate around you as you move like it will in Super Monkey ball. You basically have one view, but this turns out to be good, because then you get the hang of where you are supposed to go.

The game also really takes advantage of both the 3d and the Wii controller. There are many areas of the game where you have to turn the board 90 degrees to continue the course. It also takes advantage of the rumble feature in the Wii controller so that when the ball drops to a lower level or hits a wall, you feel it in the controller. It made the game feel more realistic.

I played through all 45 levels (on the easy balls) in about a week, but I haven't gone back to try and rack of the best time, or collect all of the special green crystals.

Once you finish the 45 levels, you can go back and play through them again in mirror mode.

Overall I rate this game very highly for a Wii game.
