Mercury Meltdown onto the Wii

February 19th 2007 13:01


Ignition Entertainment released an interesting yet addictive title on the PSP a while back, which was essentially a puzzler title which was simple yet enjoyable. This puzzler saw players control a blob or multiple blobs on a map with the aim of moving the particles from one end to the other (avoiding any obsticles that stand in the way). More so, the blobs looked and moved like real-life mercury would, which is the genius of this title.


Now Mercury Meltdown Revolution will head onto the Wii by the end of next month which although isn’t a spectacular brake through in gaming, will certainly capture the eyes of many gamers in a variety of age groups. Importantly, the Wii version of the game will strongly make use of the wireless motion of the Wii’s controller. Players will tilt the map and move the blob of mercury by moving the Wii controller in the right direction and turning it appropriately. This reminds me heavily of the old wooden box that had a maze constructed inside, with many holes and the aim of titling and turning a tiny ball from one end of the map to the other without the ball falling into a hole.


Although the game doesn’t really offer much new features to the PSP version, the ultimate selling point is the motion sensor of the controller linked with the movement of the mercury on screen. Along with that, players can unlock more levels and play a variety of multiplayer mini games which will test which players have the steadier hands. This is a nice little puzzler which will prove more fun using the Wii controllers and is recommended by me!
