What will really surprise you is the game’s overall production value, especially with presentation. The menus are well organized and look fun, of course, and the in-game cel-shaded graphics get the job done quite nicely, but the addition of things like pictures of upcoming levels, or a dancing blob of mercury as you enter your high score, give the game an overall polished feeling in the visual department. The sound is probably the best part of the game; each individual labyrinth in the single-player mode has its own musical track, and you definitely notice because this is quality music playing. One of the things I looked forward to with each new level was what the music would be like.

It’s items like that that make me feel that this production team really went the extra mile. MMR is far from another rushed port/Wii cash-in; this is a quality puzzle title in its own right, treated with care. I give Mercury Meltdown Revolution a Yay! for anyone looking for something to occupy their time with; it’s good for wasting lots of time and it’s good in small doses as well. At budget price especially, this is a title worth your money.
