"I like this game but it's too easy." (quote from BF game forum)
Pros: Nice graphics, smooth gameplay
Cons: Too many powerups for good players
Atlantis Sky Patrol is easily up there with the Zuma and Luxor games as one of the best marble poppers available. The sci-fi storyline and concept works well and the twist of having to remove balls from the machines instead of lasting long enough through a set number of marble chains is a good twist on the standard MP gameplay. Some of the rails on which your spaceship shooter rides upon are uneven, which adds to the challenge. When you reach a checkpoint you get the added bonus of playing a ball popping game in space for a change of pace.
There is a two player option to either play cooperatively or head to head but I have not tried this out.
There are lots of powerups to catch while playing, and upgrades to your ship to purchase in between levels. All of this is a mixed blessing since those who are not serious MP players will enjoy having a game which is not necessarily "frenetic" as the game description suggests; however, I managed to clear even the last few levels of the game in only 3-4 chains per screen using all the help. Without buying any of the upgrades between levels, the game is considerably harder, but I didn't experience any serious challenges until about level 65 even without buying the upgrades. If you lose a level you can just restart from that point and keep your current score and upgrades, which also takes something away from the overall challenge factor. I would still recommend it to MP fans, because even if you zen out, it's plenty of fun.

Fantastic Marble Popper Fun
This game provides me the most fun in front of the computer I have had in ages. I have played dozens of rounds and never tire of it. It is my very favorite Big Fish game by far.

Best game ever
My fiance had the demo on his tablet, and I played and wanted more. So many challenges that it has you wanting to beat your previous score. Thumbs up for sure.

Lots of Fun
I am a Hidden Object player but tried this game for the FREE 60 min. I just purchased it as I really enjoyed it. Lots of challenge for me.
