Manic Marble 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

It's incredible how quickly the App Store is evolving in terms of what we expect from apps. The bar has been raised for graphics, sound, and gameplay. Manic Marble 2, would have been a fine app at the launch of the store, but now it feels like a proof of concept game, or certainly not as finished as many games.
