Use the Super Speed power-up to go up long and steep ramps, while Super Jump gets you onto really high cliffs. Though there are only a few power-ups, you will need them to solve whatever puzzle the developers have put in front of you. The mechanics of the power-ups are what makes Marble Blast Ultra so unique. The right trigger or B button uses whatever power-up you last grabbed. The A button or left trigger lets you jump, while the X or right button fires off one of your bombs to give you just a little more of a boost. You use one stick to control the ball, and one stick to control the camera. In the end, Marble Blast Ultra is a clever puzzle game well worth the Microsoft Points, just make sure you try the demo before you buy.Like the rest of the game, Marble Blast Ultra's mechanics are very simple. I didn't find Marble Blast Ultra to be a personable, and fun as the similar Monkey Ball experience, but who can compete with cute monkeys! You really need patience and enjoy rolling puzzle games to get into this for the long run. Rolling a ball, or marble only can be entertaining for so long. LOWDOWN: Marble Blast Ultra is a fun game for what it is.
It's not cute like a big eared monkey trapped in a glass ball, but it works. The music also comes in with a nice techno inspired ambiance giving this a fair production value for an Xbox Live game. The Marble itself can be customized with different colours and it shines as bright as any orb I've seen. The graphics, although basic have a good feel of weight, texture, and polish. Presentation wise Marble Blast Ultra looks very crisp and clean in HD. Myself I like the basic "rolling only" approach, but whatever floats your boat. Online is good, but the slam feast will get old fast. You can also go online over Xbox Live in Marble Blast Ultra with support for eight players. Unique to Marble Blast and not found in other rollers is a jump feature which comes in handy along with the ability to pick up power-ups like helicopter blades to glide over far distances. No go, I'd say this ball rolling extravaganza is more difficult then Sega's Monkies. I thought I'd do better then I did in Marble Blast since I completed all 100 levels of Super Monkey Ball. The beginner levels are gentleĪnd the advanced is rough and for the hardcore rolling freaks. Just for a gas try one of the harder levels then jump to an easy on and you'll clearly see the difference. There is plenty to keep you busy with a total of sixty levels which thankfully you can pick at anytime. You will most likely be starting slow and progressing to the harder levels, that's what I'd suggest anyways. The game is balanced in three different categories, one for ever skill level (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced). Now, I'm not trying to scare gamers away from Marble Blast Ultra, it can be hard, and it can be easy. Now add some luck and you're ready to attempt that level one more time. Although challenging, puzzling, and maddening, most levels can be solved using the typical rinse and repeat strategy. The variation of the levels is is clearly one of Marble Blast Ultra's strong points. The level design is clever, and fairly different throughout the entire game. The gravity puzzles are also a tricky situation and a part of Marble Blast that brings in the puzzle aspect more then strategy. When added with other dynamics like upward climbs and bumpers, you'll spend a lot of your time falling off the board. The main annoyance, or should I say "tricky obstacle" was the icy surfaces. The obstacles that you have to overcome range from the simple wall to the hard, which includes ice, pinball bumpers, and giant fans.
Along the way you might have do some collecting, or simply hit the goal, but it's always a challenge.
