    Perfect for anybody looking for a challenge.

    Mercury Meltdown is made by Ignition Entertainment and is the sequel to one of last year’s most overlooked games, Mercury. While critics acclaimed it, Mercury never got the fanfare it deserved. Mercury Meltdown is bigger... Read Full Review

    Much better than the first game.

    I insisted not to write this review until I had completed Mercury Meltdown 100%. That's all bonus items, top score, time limit completion, and 100% mercury on all 168 levels. And by god it was one hell of a ride. The fi... Read Full Review

    The best puzzle game for the PSP.

    I really like puzzle games, and this didn't disappoint me. First, the concept for the game is really creative. How many people could think to make a game about a blob of mercury changing colors and oozing through complic... Read Full Review

    Not for the colorblind

    I read a few reviews of Mercury Meltdown and thought I'd give it a go. The concept seemed pretty simple and the game right up my alley. The one thing none of these reviews said is that there would be some serious color p... Read Full Review

    A great puzzler with enough challenge to keep you playing!

    Mercury Meltdown is the sequel to Mercury for the PSP. I've played that game too and the first thing I noticed was the change in graphical style. It looked much more cartoonish, which sometimes led to me looking for my m... Read Full Review

    Incredible idea, but just too difficult.

    Gameplay: In all games we can see a correlation between difficulty and challenge. Most game developers try to make their games difficult enough to represent a challenge, but not exaggerating, otherwise making player fee... Read Full Review
