Technically two separate games, but Ultra inlcludes pretty much everything from classic. Also if you have Ultra, you can download classic for free, although there’s no real reason to do so.
If you look at what they did with the pricing of this game, it comes off as pretty scummy. Seems like it was overpriced at launch, but they raised the price very shortly after release anyways (presumably after reviews were up). They then raised the price another $10 in 2023 and have hardly ever put it on sale, and hardly discounted it when it was on sale - I don't know what all they added to the game within those periods, but it's pretty clear it is not worth $30. The biggest frustration with that is that Marble Blast Ultra was one of the best multiplayer games available for the 360. But the way they let their greed drive the pricing of this, I'm sure it only had a multiplayer playerbase at the very beginning and now it's completely abandoned because nobody is willing to pay the ridiculous price of entry. What a huge shame and waste of effort making a game like this only to sabotage it so badly (Titanfall 2 comes to mind as a similar failure due to incompetence and an inability to read the room). Oh well - In an alternate universe where they weren't so greedy, this could've been a fantastic game...
So this includes marrble it up classic? Or are they 2 seperate games
