Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Sometimes it's the simple ideas that are the most effective. Sometimes you don't need cutting edge AI, jaw dropping visuals and a mega-money licence boasting voiceovers from the Hollywood elite. Sometimes all you need is a little tilting mercury and 200 levels of post-pub puzzle fun. Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Mercury Meltdown Revolution, we guarantee that you'll be staying for a while.

The Wii-exclusive game from little known publisher Ignition challenges players to immerse themselves in a colourful world of sci-fi machines, crazy characters, and bubbling test tubes. Using the Wii Remote, players guide a liquid mercury 'blob', around traps, door switches, spikes, moving floors and other hazardous elements in order to complete the level.

If you're looking for a perfect example of a game that pits players against their environment then this is it.
