"Mercury Meltdown is so good!"
Just like all the reviewers have already shared -- this is an excellent game -- challenging (but doable with practice), multiple levels, bright colors, different views of the mazes, sound/music is cool (not irritating). This game is for the little kids right on up to the grandparents! GREAT FAMILY FUN or INDIVIDUAL PLAY (get some practice in before playing with the family so you have the advantage!). I am sure this game will continue to be used often through the years.

WELL WORTH THE MONEY -- way better than many games that cost 2x or 3x the price!

Did I mention the useful tutorial? Also, handheld wii control responds swell -- no problems -- no delays -- hangups, etc.

You won't believe what they have done with a blob of mercury! (it's alive!)

Do any of you remember the wooden labryinth game with the knobs on two sides -- you maneuvered the little silver ball through the maze and tried to avoid dropping through the holes? Think of that -- HIGH TECH!

"A fun puzzle game"
I came in knowing almost nothing about this game and thinking its a good price and i need another Wii game that takes advantage of the Wii mote and my sisters can play I'll try this one out.

I was pleasantly surprised.

This is one of those games in which you sit down thinking, "I'm going to play for fifteen minutes", and then two hours later you are still playing and thinking i just need to beat one more level it will only take thirty seconds more.
It reminds me of some of the old school puzzles games that have a simple concept but are lots of fun (IE Tetris, Dr. Mario Chu Chu Rocket).
It is an easy to learn, hard to master kind of game with great replay value
the only down side is that none of the party games are as good as the main game.

I definitely recommend this game for novice and masters alike.

"Mercury Meltdown Revolution"
I bought this for my 9 year-old grandson because it was listed in the brain (educational) group. He couldn't believe it was a learning game when I told him. It's so much fun, he said. He likes games that take strategy and thought. Trying to beat the mercury is great.

My daughter told me that it also become the favorite game of his 12 year-old sister and her friends.

"Awesome Title For Entire Family!"
This game has been incredibly fun for our whole family. The kids and we parents both enjoy it. The challenges get so interesting and hard to believe it fosters laughs as well. Some appear impossible, but after a little experimenting, they can be done as well. And this game really benefits from the Wii remote. I hope we see more games like this one being released!

"Fun, challenging, and cheap--what's not to like?"
Mercury Meltdown Revolution is an excellent game, and it's all the more amazing given the price. If you've enjoyed the Monkey Ball series it's all but guaranteed that you'll like this game as well.

I'm giving the game 5 stars because there's no question that it deserves it, but it does have one flaw that crops up fairly frequently: the viewpoint. There are often occasions in the game where you need to split your mercury blob apart, and the game will typically pull back the camera to take in all the parts, making it difficult to control the one you'd like it to focus on. There are other viewpoint issues that crop up as well (obstructed views, no good angle available, rapid switching between blobs) in a fair number of levels, and deaths caused by viewpoint issues are frequent. But it's a testament to the game's quality that it's still so enjoyable even with these issues.

Overall, this game is a pure joy--fun, addictive, and challenging--and if you're a fan of this type of game at all, you shouldn't hesitate to try it.
