Treat yourself to a fun puzzle game I don't think you'll be disappointed. This is a game that works very well on the Wii, with a price point that's just too nice to pass up. There are more puzzles than probably necessary. The tilt-controls work great and are very responsive. The graphics are sparse but bright and attractive. I can't find much to complain about here. Nothing mind-blowingly original, but each one is a fun diversion, and a nice way to get you to try new things in the main levels to unlock them. ![]() The race mode is racing, there is a painting game where you have to cover the level with your color by rolling your ball around, and there is a fun game where you have to stay on a moving surface that's trying to boot you off the edge. There are also multiplayer minigames that give the game some legs, although they will have to be unlocked as you find hidden items in the main single-player game. The designers were sadistic bastards, but each challenge is fair, and nothing seems to come out of left field. ![]() You'll feel good about learning the controls, and then figuring out some easy puzzles, and then, by the time you get to the later levels, you'll be both amazed and challenged by the puzzles thrown your way. There is a tutorial mode to get you started, 150 puzzles, and a very user-friendly learning curve. Along the way, you'll have to freeze the mercury ball, split it into pieces and add colors to open certain gates and, above all, keep a calm and steady hand as you maneuver around some pretty mean obstacles. You tilt the controller to move your blob, and you have to deal with level designs that are clearly out to kill you. ![]() The idea behind Mercury Meltdown is that you're a blob of mercury, natch, and you have to get to the finish line of a set of puzzles. I've had drinks that cost more than that. If you've already played the game on Sony's systems, there is very little reason to revisit it, but if you're new to the title this is a great buy. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Mercury Meltdown Revolution is just Mercury Meltdown from the PSP and PS2 ported to the Wii, but given tilt controls and a lower price. Using the Wiimote, one player at a time guides a liquid blob around traps, spikes, moving floors and many other hazardous obstacles in order to progress through the game. Your remote controls the tilt of the world and that's all it does.I've been playing Mercury Meltdown Revolution for the Wii over the weekend, and while the budget title-it's a $20 game-does many things right, it's important to note that we've seen them before. Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a mind-melting variation on the puzzle game that has already appeared on Sony consoles. I LIKE THIS GAME!!! I will not be selling it anytime soon (Unlike FURU FURU PARK which is on its way to soldville as we speak) The great thing about this game is that since it is an older game you can get it dirt cheap here on E-Bay.If you can find it for less than 15 dollars then buy it.But, make sure you understand that this is not your typical game and you will not run through it.but this a a fun game that you can sit down to play (which is different for the Wii) and doesn't require you to shake the dickens out of your Wiimote to accomplish things. The game, fittingly dubbed Mercury Meltdown Revolution, will make use the Wii remote for enhanced tilt functionality, and it will likewise boast updated graphics. But, it goes much deeper than that with different terrains, obstacles, and painting your glob to make colors to open doors and find bonuses. All you have to do is guide this glob of mercury from one point of a "maze" to the other point (finish). ![]() This game is like the 21st century's answer to the old wooden and marble Labyrinth games of yesteryear. Patience is a BIG requirement for this game.Fast is not always the best choice in this game.It makes you think and analyze (two things I love to do) to reach goals. I will also say that this game is not for everyone. I have enjoyed playing it over the last week or so and I believe that most people will enjoy playing it also.
