This was the first game I got for the XBLA and it is best XBLA game ever. First of all, some people don't like games without a plot. Would you honestly think making a plot to this game would do anything but hurt it? Oh ,"The Evil Marble has stolen all the gems from Planet Marblia. We must regain them by beating 60 levels!" No, that would suck. The graphics and soundtrack are great, why do people beat down on them so much. The graphics are a MAJOR improvement from the first game. You can't deny that, other than that they are pretty good. For some reason people from Gamespot and IGN hate techno music. They find the soundtracks to certain games boring (In The Groove, Beatmania, Marble Blast Ultra) and they all consist of good techno tracks. I find the main theme extremely catchy to the point I bought the mp3. It is great. Now comes the gameplay, the best part. I love this game, the levels are fun and also some are a challenge. I must have beat every level at least 30 times (except the last one, which I only have like five times because it is impossible hard) and I still love each level just as much. The leader board system not many people care about, but I am constantly trying to beat my high scores for the hell of it. Since this is one of the most downloaded XBLA games, multiplayer is always Bumpin'. You will always be able to find a game. The fact you can join games already in progress is great. You never have to wait. Once you start to dominate at it, it gets really fun. That about sums it up. Those are the reasons why this has gone down in my history as my favorite XBLA game. Ever. Nothing can change that.
