Marbles! Balance Challenge (Wii) review

 

Our eminently wonderful US correspondent espouses his import opinions...

The charming graphics and appealing concept will suck players in, but the unforgiving and poorly implemented controls will chew them up and spit them back out. Perhaps the third time will be a charm for Hudson's Kororinpa series, as this is sadly a...

Marbles! Balance Challenge

 

In every other part of the world this game goes by the name Marble Saga: Kororinpa, or Kororinpa 2. That's because it's actually the sequel to the original tilt challenge game Kororinpa; one of the launch titles for the Wii. The name change is a...

Colourful, well laid out stages ; Much more to explore than in Kororinpa ; Can play with your remote or Wii Balance Board ; Very simple to understand the controls: Tilt ; 20 marble variations ; Hundreds of mazes ; Online ranked matches ; Up to 4 players

Gets very tricky in later stages ; Fall off and you'll be sent to the start again ; May cause a lot of frustration ; Limited replay factor

Marbles! Balance Challenge (come on, Kororinpa 2 would have been the better title) is a colourful skill game that steadily goes from fun little puzzle to aggravating object of torture, just like all good games should.

Nice replacement for Wii Fit games

 

Nice replacement for Wii Fit games

This game is a nice choice for balance training. I think it'd be fun for parties. But I expected it to be more exciting. Levels that require Balance board are additional and not in the main gameline. Mainly you use Wii Remote to play. Anyway it is good...

Marble madness - and gets the ankles working

This is a fun game to play, and as it's compatible with the Wii Fit Balance Board it can improve balance and fitness as you roll a ball around a range of obstacle course. Many levels can be played with an ordinary Nintendo Wii Controller but, to get...

Very entertaining for 5-7 year old girls

 

My young daughters enjoyed this game, especially the ability to build your own levels. It kept them busy for several hours, and they wanted to keep it. We would rent it again and consider buying it as well.

I bought the Kororinpa a few weeks ago and loved it so when i heard this was the follow up i bought it straight away! BUT it isn't as good at all; its too easy, the balls are so much slower than the first and the circuits aren't as imaginative and as...

Fantastic

 

Fantastic

It is my wife who has actually played this and completed all levels, easy, medium and hard using the hand control and about half of those on the Wii board. She thinks this is fantastic. Starts of nice and easy and gets very fiendish. It has taken her...

great fun

I've only played the first 30 levels in the main game with the wiimote, so may add to this review in the future when I've played more of the game. I've also completed the first 30 (out of 100) levels on the balance board and I must say I found them a...

This game is fab. I've had it a few months now, and every one that has played it, wants it! Even my two year old enjoys playing this with his nine year old sister. Great family fun. Play with or without people, and the balance challenges are quite...
