REVIEW: Wii-Kororinpa: Marble Mania

I am not a puzzle game freak. My wife is, me I can stand them for a while but get tired of logic and want to start killing something on screen. Wii-Kororinpa: Marble Mania is one of those puzzle games that is the exception. Basically the typical marble maze game, you run your marble around and collect things to the end goal. Not very original in idea. The graphics are "cute" but the coolest part is, you can "cheat" by bouncing the marble or tossing it into space to get to another part of the maze if you can catch it. This feature really got me interested as I spent the next hour trying to cheat my way through mazes and levels flicking my wrist or dumping the ball out of the track and catching it with a different part. I found it quite fun being able to play outside the box, trying over and over to do an impossible drop and catch.

I give this game 3.5 stars. I'll buy it when it get's below $35.00 when it get's below that price, It's a great game!
