Monkey magic
On paper, the idea of taking `Marble Madness`, making it fully 3D, adding in a couple of seemingly cute characters, and chucking in some bonus games, probably didn't seem that special. But after playing the game for just 15 minutes, you realize just how well the idea works.
The game looks beautiful, the challenges are wonderfully realized, the learning curve is not harsh at all, the party and mini games are great fun, and those cute squeals of equal joy and fear from those monkeys as they achieve or try to achieve their goals help make the game even more absorbing.
A true gaming classic.
