Mercury Meltdown Remix
SCORE: 79
How can I describe Mercury Meltdown Remix?
This Playstation 2 (PS2) video game is like Marble Madness. One
important distinction. In Mercury Meltdown Remix your round blob can
loose pieces. So it is not an all or nothing proposition. This mechanic
is also used to allow players the ability to merge colors.
The graphics in Mercury Meltdown Remix are cel-shaded. These look
horrible to me. I suspect Mercury Meltdown Remix could even trigger
migraines based on the graphical choice of Ignition Entertainment.
Family Friendly Gaming has not heard much from Ignition Entertainment in
some time. Maybe their choices in video games finally caught up with
them. Or maybe they will make a comeback soon.
Players are given a timer in Mercury Meltdown Remix. Don’t freak out
when you can not make the timer. Even in the first world it can be
difficult to meet that unrealistic timer. Don’t you love it when a video
game adds to your stress instead of taking away from it? Mercury
Meltdown Remix stressed me out in so many different levels.
The whole mercury component is pretty cool in Mercury Meltdown Remix.
The separating and mixing colors is time consuming, frustrating, and
anger inducing. The controls on the Playstation 2 controller are okay.
There are definitely better control schemes for games like this one.
With multiple attempts most gamers should be able to complete the
majority of the levels in Mercury Meltdown Remix.
Families can skip levels within a world if they find them to be too
difficult. Trust me, you will end up skipping certain levels. Mercury
Meltdown Remix does not require much thought, which is a shame for a
puzzle game. The Marble Madness concept is one our industry needs more
of.
