![]() The game is pretty difficult, but not overbearingly so like other games I’ve played. Thanks in part to this, the length leaves a fair bit to be desired. Instead, it just copies everything from another system over and calls it a done deal. Generally speaking, this version showed how much opportunity this game had to build on what made the original so good. Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist here, so it just seems like the developers took the easy way out for this one. ![]() Then, there would be an “easy” course set, “medium”, and “hard” – each with their own levels. In fact, I was hoping that the original would be found in a “classic” mode. I’m inclined to agree with that criticism because the Sega Genesis, I’m certain, can hold more courses. It’s not the shortest game I’ve played, but it can be pretty detrimental to a game like this.Īnother complaint I’ve heard about this game is the fact that this version doesn’t add anything that wasn’t already in the original. Generally, for a console game at this time, this game is very short. The problem with this game being released when it was is the length. Even then, at least fans of the Sega Genesis version will have an easier time than those who played it on the NES a few years earlier. Other players may not get that luxury and may find this game pretty challenging still. I didn’t have too much of a tough time getting very far, but that can be attributed to the fact that I’ve already played two other versions with reasonable success. This game ultimately boils down to practice. Some will say this game is pretty difficult. That kind of tells you how difficult the earlier version really was. The original NES difficulty seems to hover between medium and hard in this version. The difficulty of this game is generally a bit easier as well in this version thanks to the time allowances. In this game, the display shows 99 seconds, but you can earn more time beyond that and the clock will freeze at 99 seconds until there is less then that left on the clock. Generally, the NES version caps out at 99 seconds. Of course, altering the time is pretty much all you need to adjust if you want to make this game easier or harder.Īnother noticeable element is the fact that you can exceed 99 seconds. While the courses are completely unaltered between the difficulty, the amount of time you earn between each course is. You can choose between easy, medium, and hard. One interesting element is the fact that there is now a difficulty setting. So, we thought we’d give this version a try to see how it plays.īecause this game is so similar to the NES version, we thought we’d focus on the differences between the two games for this review. ![]() That game didn’t really withstand the test of time and failed to really impress. Previously, we reviewed the Game Boy Color version. We have some familiarity with this game already. We find out if this racing game is worth a play. In this review, we push for the goal in the Sega Genesis game Marble Madness.
