Google will be releasing a Google maps oriented game for Google+ in February.  The preview features some fun music, and looks similar to the old Marble Madness game – except played on a Google Map:

The game features some slick graphics that mimic the new Google maps site.  The updated site uses elegant HTML5 and video to show the full capabilities of Google maps.  The virtual walkthrough includes Indoor Google maps, choosing your route, street veiw, custom map creation and maps editor.

TheNextWeb reports that the game was developed by the Google maps team and the video states that the release will be in February 2012.
