BE CAREFUL

User Rating: 8.6 | Archer Maclean's Mercury PSP
A wonderful concept, executed very well; 72 different stages, each of which is unique and challenging in its own way; that ball of mercury sure does move around realistically. Ultimately, Mercury is a very good puzzle game that mostly lives up to the strengths of its concept. There are certainly some legitimate gripes to be lobbied against the game's sometimes exclusionary difficulty level and lack of truly engaging multiplayer. But regardless of these issues, there's no denying the kind of quirky, addictive charm that Mercury's gameplay has to offer. For PSP puzzle fans on the hunt for another game to complement their current Lumines addiction, Mercury is a solid choice. Mercury mostly presents itself quite nicely, if a bit simplistically. As mentioned before, the highlight of the graphics is the mercury itself and how it moves so realistically. It's almost kind of hypnotic watching that blob move around a level
