Mercury transitions to PS2 News

PlayStation 2 News by Tom Bramwell

15 September, 2006

Excellent PSP game Mercury is to make the transition to PlayStation 2 this winter, Atari and Ignition Entertainment announced today (probably without thinking very hard about the timing).

Mercury Meltdown Remix it'll be called, and it sounds like an expanded version of the PSP sequel - in fact, you could probably grasp that from the title.

Like Meltdown PSP, it'll involve manoeuvring a blob of liquid metal around mazes suspended in the air, by tilting them, with your mercury blob going through four varying states - normal, solid, fast and slow.

Unlike the PSP version however, you'll be able to use both analogue sticks for control (perhaps one handles the camera), and there'll be some 200-plus levels thanks to two new "labs" (level hubs).

We're also promised "State of the art blob physics" in addition to bonus features to unlock and presumably the mini-games that have been added to the PSP sequel.

For more on that version, check out our extensive preview and first impressions.

Sounds pretty decent. A PS3 version, compatible with the tilt function might be a little more interesting however.

I think Cyclone as point here... Wii is also a very viable option for this game with the Wii-mote.

It surely wouldn'y push the PS3 in the graphics department...

Might be a decent idea for a downloadable game or something though.

Cyclone and Dragul threw an excellent idea in the air. It'd be fantabulous to play Mercury with tilt sensitive controller.
