This brings us onto the most clever point of the physics and the gameplay you can divide your blob of mercury by rolling into a sharp corner of the maze. This is further complicated by the fact that some doors require a complex mix of colours to access. One of which is the coloured doors which must match the colour of the mercury for you to use. Before you can get there you will have to pass through a variety of obstacles and hazards.
#Mercury meltdown revolution wii series#
If you haven’t come across the series before, on its PSP or PS2 outings, you control a maze by tipping and tilting to guide a malleable blob of mercury from the start to the finish. It all comes out of the quality and accuracy of the inherent physics around which the game is built. And all this is delivered without a quirky name, or hair-do, in fact without a body or head at all. It literally oozes identity as it slips over surfaces, flows down walls and pours off drops. This is possibly one of the strongest video game characters I have come across in a long time. MacLean is obviously proud of the little fellow. He, let’s call it a he, is there in the opening credits, he is dancing in the selection menu and at just about every other turn. Let’s get this straight, the blob of mercury you tilt and tip around the maze is thoroughly the star of the game.
#Mercury meltdown revolution wii how to#
How to best let people play with his new technological toy? However things don’t always turn out how you would have planned them and this is the challenge that may well have faced Archer MacLean with his Mercury project when it was conceived. It’s much easier to seed a game from an intriguing idea that then demands some technical ingenuity. So.get this game and have some fun.The problem faced by inventing some new technological gloop is that you then have to invent some contrived scenario in which to put it, to deliver fun to the paying public. Your remote controls the tilt of the world and that's all it does.
I LIKE THIS GAME!!! I will not be selling it anyt ime soon (Unlike FURU FURU PARK which is on its way to soldville as we speak) The great thing about this game is that since it is an older game you can get it dirt cheap here on E-Bay.If you can find it for less than 15 dollars then buy it.But, make sure you understand that this is not your typical game and you will not run through it.but this a a fun game that you can sit down to play (which is different for the Wii) and doesn't require you to shake the dickens out of your Wiimote to accomplish things.
But, it goes much deeper than that with different terrains, obstacles, and painting your glob to make colors to open doors and find bonuses. All you have to do is guide this glob of mercury from one point of a "maze" to the other point (finish). This game is like the 21st century's answer to the old wooden and marble Labyrinth games of yesteryear. Patience is a BIG requirement for this game.Fast is not always the best choice in this game.It makes you think and analyze (two things I love to do) to reach goals. I will also say that this game is not for everyone. I have enjoyed playing it over the last week or so and I believe that most people will enjoy playing it also.
