Title: Marble Blast Ultra .............................................. System: Xbox Live Arcade .............................................. Genre: Platformer .............................................. Publisher: GarageGames .............................................. Developer: Garage Games .............................................. Release: 1/26/2006 .............................................. Online: Yes .............................................. ESRB: .............................................. Continue to Full Review   Overall   Marble Blast Ultra is an extremely fun and addictive XBLA title that is well worth the price tag. With 60 levels, hidden extras and the competitiveness to get to the top of the leaderboards, this is one of the best Arcade titles to date. The lackluster multiplayer is disappointing, but the focal point of the game is the single player, and Garage Games did a fantastic job with it.   Sweet to the Core   Addicting. It’s hard to put down, even at the most frustrating of times.   Replayability. Plenty of hidden goodies and par times will keep you coming back for more.   Going Bad   Frustration. You might break a control or two while playing this one.   Rotten to the Core   Repetitiveness. The music and voice in the game will begin to annoy you after just a few games.   The Core Score Overall 8.5 Fun 8.8 Gameplay 8.5 Graphics 6.9 Audio 5.9 Replay 8.6     Kid Safe Score      10  Great    Nothing bad here, just rolling a ball around courses trying to get to the end.   How we score games
