Mercury Melting Down PSPs today |
Ó
Okay, to start things off - and head off potential hostile comments and lawsuits, this story is not about bricked handhelds! (Damn, the challenges of making snappy titles...) Okay, now that's out of the way, Mercury Meltdown arrives in stores today! The successor to Archer Maclean's Mercury sends players through more wild and insane puzzles featuring the blob of that temperature-sensing, hated-by-Greenpeace element of the periodic table. This sequel's got more color, as opposed to Archer's more industrial look. It also tweaks certain elements from the first game, such as time limits, to make the game accessible to the beginner, but still a brain-busting challenge in spite of it all. Your standard blob of mercury now features four distinct states: normal, rock-solid, molasses-slow cold, and Sonic-burning hot forms that changes the way players must navigate all those mazes.
If you're in the mood for puzzles to burn your PSP time with, or if you enjoyed Archer Maclean's Mercury, then Mercury Meltdown is the perfect buy. And we reiterate again: this isn't about bricking PSPs. Brain-busting challenges may brick your brain, though.
Buy: [Mercury Meltdown]

will this be better than the old ones?
i swear i saw this within the past week at gamestop...
I thought this game was going to be released with the tilt-sensor for psp. Is it still comming?
no. the old was was beautiful and realistic, this is crap. it has garbage graphics that look like the southpark animators got lazy
I have this game and you just use the analoge
i liked the first one and may snag this..it does look extremly intruiging.. also it's really bad you have to state something about not bricking psp's..lol...
Brimming with wrongability there. "Beautiful and realistic", there is nothing realistic about mercury, since the idea is surrealism. In what rulebook does it say that games have to look realistic? The new style is a great change, and whatever someone might say about the graphics, it still feels and plays like a Mercury game at the end of the day. They had the guts to reinvent their game, instead of churning out just a bunch of new levels, and for that they deserve some credit at least. ...oh and it is still damn hard on some levels, my PSP is still luckily intact at the moment.
This game is illegal in Europe due to the new RoHs directive which forbids the use of mercury.
Its freaking hard but is fun as hell,the demo sold me the game.
I never played Archer macleans Mercury but i think this game is realy amusing. And for the video's i saw of Archer M M I think the feel is just about the same.
Haha yeah sure, #8. Anyway I'll have this game within a week. Looks cool.
The game play is more fun than the first mercury, its actually a bit harder to play, the environental graphics and tables are ok, better audio, but the mercury blobs themselves are horrible to look at. The blobs are outlined in thick dark lines which really distracts from the the rest of the 3d effects. I was expecting the puzzle tables to look cartoony looking as the preview video indicate, but there is a lot of transparency effects in use, so you see a lot of background details showing through the various part sof the puzzels. That gives part of the game a nice glass look and less cartoony. Its just the disapoint blobs. If you liked any bit of the first game this one is definitly better.
Pause the game, go into options and then Mercury Style, you can turn off the black outline as well as pick a new skin from any you have unlocked in there.
