	Marble Blast Ultra for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Marble Blast Ultra Review
		Marble Blast Ultra offers a decent challenge, but boring multiplayer and a lack of variety drag it down a bit.
		Marble Blast Ultra is probably best described as Super Monkey Ball without the personality.
		Plus, there's a jump button, a blast that can be used for higher jumps if you can get the timing down, and a series of power-ups, like superjumps, speed boosts, and so on.

		If I had a nickel for every time I rolled my marble off the edge of a platform while playing Marble Blast, I'd be less apprehensive about whether or not Social Security will be in place when I retire.
		Marble Blast is an unapologetically pure arcade release of the kind that's normally seen on a console: The player rolls a rainbow-colored marble through three-dimensional maps in an effort to collect all of the gems and race to the finish in the fastest time.
		When you roll the marble off the playing field - and you will - it's plopped back at the starting point and the timer is reset.

	Xbox Live Arcade - Marble Blast Ultra Microsoft Xbox 360 Video Game Review by AceGamez
		As you can probably guess, in Marble Blast Ultra you're tasked with controlling a marble and navigating it through a number of obstacle courses (sixty in total), attempting to reach the goal under the course's par time.
		To aid in your gem collection, all of the game's power-ups are available, some keeping their main function, such as using the super jump to reach gems on a higher platform, where others have taken a more sinister route like the size boost, which lets you barrel through the competition and smash them into oblivion.
		Marble Blast Ultra drives the point home even further when compared to the launch lineup of the 360 the Live Arcade may just be where the bulk of your enjoyment is had with the system right now.

	GamersInfo.net - PC - Marble Blast Gold
		Marble Blast Gold by Monster Studios is making me feel my age, however.
		Allow your marble to go careening off the edge of the platform toward what seems to be the great green abyss below, land on a platform, and (at just the right moment, of course) trigger super bounce in order to fly to a platform with the gem across from you.
		I call it marble madness because after falling into it for the 30th time in the night, you'll be wanting to throw your virtual marble at the computer screen.

		You rolled a marble through various levels within a certain time limit; having to move through obstacles and traps to the finish line.
		Your goal is to roll your marble across the level as fast as you can, and see if you can beat a certain "par" time.
		The marbles, which you can customize into 32 different styles or textures, all have realtime reflections on them of their surroundings, as well as being incredible looking as they roll.

		The premise of the game is quite simple, youâre given control of a marble and whilst in control of that marble youâll have to accomplish a designated task that culminates with you entering a designated goal area.
		While the marble physics are quite dandy, the main attraction is without a doubt, the fun and imaginative puzzles.
		Marble Blast just isnât about rolling over bumps and hills, jumping takes center stage on many of the gameâs level.

		The only gripe I have with the game is an infrequent, but annoying bug that causes a control button to 'stick', rolling the marble right off the side of a platform.

	IMG Review: Marble Blast Gold
		From the first time I saw it, there was just something compelling about steering a blue marble through various obstacle courses, dodging various hazards and taking advantage of various devices in order to make it to the goal line, all the while fighting the clock.
		The player-controlled marble itself is a rainbow swirl of colors that looks pretty cool when in motion, and various impacts and other environmental factors can cause the marble to give off sparks or other effects as it moves around.
		The marble itself doesn't make as much noise as I would like, being content to make the occasional squeaking, sliding, or bouncing noise depending on what it was doing.

	Review - Marble Blast Ultra // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer
		Perhaps predictably, Marble Blast Ultra is another dusted down, updated version of a previously available Xbox Live Arcade offering, but one that definitely shouldn't be ignored.
		In this instance, each course is set in an 'astrolabe arena suspended high in the clouds' with the idea to roll your marble to the goal, negotiating ramps and traps galore, with the occasional requirement to also collect a finite number of gems along the way.
		For the money Marble Blast Ultra is definitely worth a look, and even if you can't bring yourself to shell out for it, there's a decent demo to sample first.

	GamesFirst! \|\| Marble Blast Rocks! \| Marble Blast Ultra \| XB360,
		The recently released Marble Blast Ultra for the XBox 360 (available only through download) is equal parts Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball, and the end result is as fun as it sounds.
		Marble Blast Ultra's 60 levels are broken up into three sets of 20 beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
		This works fairly well, but my one major gripe with the Marble Blast Ultra multiplayer is the lack of a 'deathmatch' type multiplayer mode, where the only goal would be to knock other marbles out of the ring.
