The Best Puzzling game on the Wii. Its addictive but don't get too frustrated!
If you have played either well this is the definitive version
Now you might just think that theres some extra modes and some new levels
But the fact that the game is so suited to the wii remote it just improves on the game so much!
At first the graphics would look rather basic. But if you look in detail and zoom into your blob of the wii remote then you can see marks where the blob has rolled about and the shadows and lights of the other items reflect of your blob of mercury which shows how detailed the graphics of the game is.
But its the gameplay that makes the game amazing. Well you hold the remote to it side horizontally and the main control method is tilting forward backwards left and right. The other buttons are used to zoom in and out etc. But that the fact the the wii remote controls are so sensitive is the reason why it makes the game amazing. Even slight tilits forwards and backwards will move your blob and that can be extremely useful when your just about to fall off the edge of your maze.
There are also some great physics in the game as it says on the back of the box. "Realistic Mercury Physics". For example if you slice your mercury in half then the blob of mercury moves and cuts in half accordingly to how it would move in real life.
Know at first the puzzles in the game will not be too difficult (if you want you can even use a tutorial for the beggining). But once you get to around the 3rd stage then its start to get tricky. There are basic puzzles like dying your blob of mercury the same colour of a gate so you can get through. As you can guess the puzzles get much harder and can be very frustrating. Still you don't have to do the maze in time to complete it but you will lose points immensely if you don't.
Not only are there 160 levels in the game, but there are 6 really fun party games here that add replay value and at times can be very fun. Although the racing one is a wipeout pure carbon copy i still loved it and found it extremely fun. So as you can guess, 160 stages and 6 really addictive and fun mini games will give the game a huge amount of replay value.
There are some cool sounds throughout the game as there are some pretty nice music tracks but oddly as your blobs of mercury fall there is a comical cartoony soft scream. There are some nice little extras like unlocking different skins for your blob of mercury aswell, like a basketball one.
Overall this is the wii's best puzzle game so far and is extremely addictive but can be difficult. Recommended for hardcore gamers and for people that like puzzle games.
Real Score : 8.3
