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!

pretty fun, worth $20

i've played this game for a couple hours now and it is pretty fun. reminds me of the old "marble madness" game, but with an updated feel and technology. it gets pretty difficult, so it isn't a super easy game that you'll blow thru in minutes. it's a good level of challenge.

Not for the color blind

I love mind puzzler type games and this was recomended to me.

I got through the tutorial fine and it was fun. But once I started playing the game I started having trouble. You have to get the blob certain colors and I am color blind and it was too difficult.

If you are color blind or have trouble matching colors this game isn't for you. However, if you don't have that problem, this game should be a blast.

Fun for All

I find this game fun and challenging for those of us over 45. Kids will enjoy the challenge too. Not the action, kill games we don't our children participating in. This is a fun game.

The best value game for the Wii

At $20, this game is the best value game there is for the Wii. Its average rating on the internet is between 8 and 9 out of 10, and frankly, the replay value and depth in the game pretty much make it a 10. It has over 100 different levels, all imaginative and fun, as well as unlockable party games for times when you just want to relax.

The game also makes great use of the Wii motion controls, they are intuitive and perfectly responsive. Hardcore gamers will appreciate the exact responsiveness of the controls and casual gamers will love the ease of picking the controls up and playing.

If you have a Wii, its a simple choice: buy this game. $20 is a steal for something of this high quality and honestly, I would have bought this game even if it were selling for $40 retail.

For the price you this is an excellent game!

I bought this game after reading some of the other reviews and am so glad I did. It is an excellent bargain at only $20 when they could easily charge $50. I love how the game has a ton of levels. Each lab has about 20 levels and if you pass enough levels you open up another lab. There are about 10 labs. In addition to having a bunch of different challenging courses I have a lot of fun going back and trying to beat my old scores or getting all the stars or doing the course without losing any mercury. In the reviews I read that after you open up enough labs the game becomes two-player but I only have one more lab to open up and it is still a one-player game. My partner and I still enough watching each other and trading off who plays. It's almost as fun to watch as it is to play. This is a great game and I am glad I bought it, especially considering that it costs about $7 just to rent a game. For that price you may as well buy this game.

One of the best overlooked games for Wii.

This is one of the best overlooked games for the Wii. The Wiimote works great and really makes the game so much better. If you're into casual, intuitive games this is not to be passed up.

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!

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.

Worth the money.

I bought this game after seeing an ad for it in a magazine. The ad said that it was a bargain at the price it was listed at and that it is a great puzzle game. I have to agree. This game is a lot of fun bringing back memories from the first mercury game on the PSP and also taking me way back to the days of marble madness. This is a fun game that has pretty good graphics and has a good look and good control with the Wii remote. I would recommend this game, especially for the price.
