If you loved marble madness, you will dig marble mania. It is very similar to the Atari classic, except instead of controlling the marbles, you control the level itself!!! The game is simple to pick up and start playing. It only takes around 5 levels to get a good grasp on the controls. The game play is responsive and accurate for the most part. After playing for about a half an hour I was hooked and did not want to put it down. It can take a minute to get your brain to get used to the 3-d concept in moving your marble around. The graphics are not the best in the world, but for a game you are only paying $40 for and is not meant to be centered on graphics, but fun, gameplay that is made to draw you in, you can't complain. Music in the game is lacking a little. You can unlock different tunes, but they don't sound that unique in their own right. The sound effects on the levels are accurate, but again nothing special. The only notable sound comes from the different types of marbles themselves that have their own sound effects that can be entertaining to say the least. The bottom line with Marble Mania is if you are looking for a fun game for $40 you can't go wrong. The levels themselves may be limited (there are 50 of them), but between a cool split-screen multiplayer mode and the challenge of going back and beating your previous times, there is quite a bit of longevity to be had with this game. I would recommend it for anyone who likes puzzle games, looking for a game to have a little fun with when you don't have a lot of time to play in one sitting, or to anyone who is trying to get a non-gamer interested in playing.
