5.0 out of 5 stars great game, October 30, 2007

By	dlc (WA United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

What a great WII game. We've played Zelda and a few others, and while Mercury Meltdown may not cost $50 and may not be a big, Hollywood-style release, it is a wonderfully addictive, puzzling game. It is keeping this 47 year old and his 12 year old daughter up late on school nights.

All WII games should be this good. Can't tell you how disappointing it is to pay $50 for a game and get it home to find it's totally lame. This game is a reasonable $20 and is oodles of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kororinpa on the cheap, November 2, 2007

By	Luke Meyers (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I thoroughly enjoyed the game Kororinpa: Marble Mania which came out some months before this one, and the action in this game is pretty similar. However, it feels different enough that it's definitely not just a level pack for that game. The blob physics add a new dimension, as does the focus on solving puzzles by changing your blob different colors, mixing different color blobs to make secondary colors, etc. It's neat stuff. For 20 bucks this game is an absolute steal, and it's got a lot of levels and stuff to unlock. Each level has various ways to excel and try to get a top score -- beating par time, collecting all bonuses, and losing as little mercury as possible.

On the downside, so far the "party games" don't seem to me to be truly multiplayer. But I've only unlocked one; I don't know if later ones involve multiple players. Also, the tilting motions used to steer your blob around are much more constrained than in Kororinpa -- no flipping the world upside down! Oh, well. Still a great game and an absolute bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging and fun, December 2, 2007

By	Pooger (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

If you like puzzle games that require you to think a bit then this one is fun! Also takes some good reflexes and precise control of the wiimote.

I bought this along with Kororinpa and I really do like both. My friends think this one take a little too much thinking to be casual though :)
