Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Created by Archer MacLean, Mercury puts you in control of ultra realistic liquid mercury which you have to steer through 72 levels spread over six challenging worlds. Using your brain and balance, control the mercury around various obstacles and puzzling scenarios as well as keeping everything intact. Blob control is important; keeping your liquid mercury together and not spilling is the key to completing your goal as well as identifying the colours you need to move through certain areas. Once you've achieved your goal you'll face the end of level boss who won't be a walk in the park. Can you handle the challenge?

I missed out on this title when I first got my PSP. Lumines seemed to be the big puzzle game, but I found that to be a simple Tretris clone dressed up in a shiny interface.
Mercury is where PSP puzzle games are at. Screenshots don't do this game justice - you have to see the blobs of mercury moving to appreciate it. And its not simple either - the puzzles will appeal to adults and kids alike.
People who see games like Wipeout or Everybody's Golf running on my PSP are impressed but they aren't seeing anything new or different. When I show them Mercury: they're blown away. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars
I bought Mercury as soon as it was released. Its an excellent game. Its based on the old marbles game but instead you are a ball of mercury which you need to guide around various platforms and complete certain tasks. There are 72 levels and each level is unique and different. The graphics are superb. Each level has its own unique style of music and there are also bonus levels to complete for highs scorers. Some of the later levels do get particularly tough and this is one game you wont complete in a couple of hours, which adds to its appeal. If you're a serious puzzle fan, I'd definately recommend this game.

Short and sweet review: Buy it!
I've just spent what could have been the most boring night shift ever, saved by Mercury. Excellent graphics that make WipEout seem ordinary, good music, and psychosis-inducing gameplay! Move a blob of (physically very realistic)liquid metal from start to finish; sounds simple? It is. Or it would be if you didn't have to worry about colour changes, bits of your blob falling off the sides, ramps, conveyor belts and other weirdnesses!
This game is so good one of my colleagues (who has no interest in video gaming)is buying a PSP just to get it.

Alright at best
This game is fun for a few levels but soon the interest dies out and it becomes rather annoying. The graphics are fairly weak and the game it's self becomes relatively repetitive. Read more

I probably should be 30 years younger...
...I'm amazed that one or two of the reviewers for this game talk about how easy it was to play. These are probably the kids who are able to solve rubik's cubes in 10 seconds flat! Read more

Another Archer Maclean Masterpiece
I purchased my first Archer Maclean game around the mid-80s, Dropzone for the Atari 8-bit computers. It was an arcade quality video game on a home computer. Read more

A surprise gem for the skill-based puzzle fan
When I first heard about Mercury back before the PSP came out, I thought it sounded boring. However, I am a huge fan of Super Monkey Ball on the Gamecube and many of my friends... Read more

Shiny but SHORT....
Come on - a game like this is meant to have a bit of life to it.
While it was very enjoyable, the stark fact is it is too short. Read more

Sorry...
Wow, look at all of those 5* reviews. Sorry, I just didn't like it at all. It seems far far too simplistic (and I know that simple can be good, IF it's an original... Read more
