shiruken's review for Marble Blast Ultra (XBLA)

Definitely worth the purchase although the multiplayer is usually pretty devoid of activity, making some of the achievements difficult to attain.

This is my favorite arcade game on the Xbox 360, it has to be one of the best out there. I remember this was the first thing i downloaded after i first got the 360 and i surely wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

A fun and brain-melting physics puzzler that hasn't aged all that well but still plays smooth.
