I just played it and for once I wish that a game was more like a rip-off of another.

I missed the thumping techno and jump button from Marble Blast. This just feels very slowed down (they should have used powerups instead of all of these crazy changing stations) and sometimes the physics can wig out and fuck up your run.

Also I wish the ball had more mwph, it really feels like you are controlling a tiny marble through a miniature course.

The screen tearing/ripping kills it for me. Why are we seeing this performance on an XBLA game? Saints Row I can sort of understand, but not a game where you move a marble around a board.

I like it, but that screen shit is pretty annoying. If they fix that I might get it some time.
