5 out of 5 stars A fun game even for someone who doesnt play video games!   June 30, 2008
I am not a big video game player and I really like this game! I recently got a Wii (within the last month) and I purchased a used copy of this game on amazon..... I received my game a few days ago and I can hardly stop. You should get this game....gamer or not!


5 out of 5 stars Great, Challenging Fun!!   March 4, 2008
My children and I played this at Grandma's house and fell in love with it. We are going to be getting our own very soon! It can be quite challenging (in a good way).

My 4 year old twin boys could not pass levels without me helping them hold the wiimote, but they loved watching their marbles roll off cliffs and fall down holes anyway. They also love seeing what new mazes come up after we've passed one. My 8 and 10 year old daughters had an easier time, but still needed my assistance once in a while. But that is good, they found it challenging, and therefore wanted to keep playing and playing until they were able to beat the level.

I also had a lot of fun with it, and had to fight my kids for a turn. This will be the game that Mommy and Daddy will stay up late playing after the kids are in bed!!

5 out of 5 stars MARBLE MADNESS!! It's back!   November 6, 2007

Being a fan of the old NES game Marble Madness, I've kind of always been waiting for another game like it. Something unique, fun, and difficult. Kororinpa: Marble Mania fills the gap.

Many people will compare this game to Super Monkey Ball, and its really an unfair comparison. Sure, all "balance" games will be compared to the most popular series, but this one is definitely unique. Super Monkey ball feels more frantic, whereas Kororinpa overall feels more relaxed. You are timed for completing the levels, but you are not time-limited unless you want to earn prizes and gold/silver/bronze cups. So, if you want to take your time, go ahead. The game retains a good level of tension even when you're just cruising since it's more about balance than racing...which I found very enjoyable.

If you need to compare this game to a similar "balance" game, then think more along the lines of the old wooden Labyrinth game with the metal ball. Much like that old board-game, you will find yourself open to different interpretations of how to complete levels and get that ball to the other side. The later levels encourage some experimentation as well.

Overall, this game is very fun for "balance" game lovers, and it stands in it's own category of the genre...and it's only $30, so you can't lose!
