Product Description

Product Description
Mercury Meltdown has been designed to build upon and enhance the unique experience offered by the first Mercury title. With new game modes, graphics and features, Mercury Meltdown will offer a variety of enhancements over the original title while remaining true to its highly successful core gameplay dynamics. Along with all new environments, adversaries, mini-games and multiplayer modes, Mercury Meltdown includes a completely redesigned game progression system and structure to make the game more accessible to players of all skill levels. Even the Blob has had an overhaul and can be used in a number of interesting ways. For Mercury Meltdown, it was important to build upon and enhance the successful gameplay of the first title. One of the more major changes was the Blob itself. By chaning its characteristics and properties, it meant that levels could now offer a whole new experience and challenge while still maintaining the core gameplay of the original title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun that taxes your PSP abilities, July 10, 2008

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I discovered this game long after its release. I had never played Mercury, so it was a new experience for me. And a great one! I highly recommend you pick up this title, which offers a lot of bang for the buck.

The game is very difficult and taxes your patience at times. But it makes solving levels that much more rewarding. Some levels I still feel are impossible, but it keeps me coming back to keep trying. There are eight stages with 16 levels in each stage (and some bonus levels). Once I hit the fourth stage I didn't expect to go any further because the levels were so difficult. But I finally managed to unlock every stage, which was a great feeling. The nice part is you don't have to solve every level to unlock the next stage -- you just have to save a certain overall percentage of mercury on your current stage.

Even after you've solved a level, you can go back and try to beat the top score, save more mercury or grab more bonuses. The replay value is phenomenal. There are also some fun mini games that will help pass the time, but the meat is solving actual puzzles.

While this is a puzzle game, more of the levels require dexterity than brains to solve. But it's a lot of fun and a game that gets my stamp of approval. I have a lot of games and this is one of the few that keeps me coming back time and time again. For the price you can buy it at today, it's well worth the money and will keep you entertained (and sometimes frustrated) for hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars great game, well executed, lots of levels, great fun!, January 16, 2007

By	M. Hofer (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

A great puzzle game and a big improvement over the first "Mercury". Many great levels, minigames. Even the way the level selection works is nice: The levels are represented as little test tubes, when you finish a level the amount of mercury left is shown in the tube. If you manage to save all the mercury, a cork closes the tube. If you also get all the specials and make the high-score, the cork is golden...

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

If you enjoyed the first Mercury game, then you'll love Mercury Meltdown twice !

Also if you like puzzle genre and love to solve puzzles you will get engaged with this game.

Mercury meltdown takes the formula from the original Mercury and improved the game play, add new elements, and created a new graphic engine based on cartoon like graphics!
