It sure is possible. Also, it doesn't take long. Thirty to sixty minutes should be enough.

Any marinade you would use for chicken or turkey will work.

I have never really cooked game hen, how does it compare to other poultry?

Sure. I've done it. I recommend cutting them in half before marinating. They'll "get down" in the marinade better that way.

You could use a basic Asian marinade:

low sodium soy sauce
dry sherry (the kind you drink, NOT cooking sherry)
fresh slivered ginger
fresh smashed garlic cloves
brown sugar
spring onions, chopped
sesame seeds
a couple drops of sesame oil

OR:

equal parts low sodium soy sauce, pineapple juice, and white wine - again with fresh ginger and fresh garlic.

Plain balsamic vinegar makes a GREAT marinade. The finished product is not vinegary per se - just has a great flavor. Again, fresh smashed garlic would be good in this one.
