Title: Arthur Maclean\'s Mercury!
Post by: CHIZZY on April 07, 2005, 09:37:23 AM

Wow! Just picked up this game on my lunch break. Haven\'t played it yet, but it looks fun as hell. I wish the PSP had a tilt function like that gameboy did.... Will let you know my impressions in a couple of hours.

I love how they put his name on it. What has he made, 2 games? 3D Pool and this?

I mean, it\'s just funny because the only guy I can think of that really benefits from name-brand recognition in this fashion is Sid Meier.

Most designers don\'t even bother throwing their name on a title, although it\'s not the worst idea in the world.

Maybe Nintendo should try it sometime. Shigeru Miyamoto\'s Pikmin, for example.

He works on most of their games, though.

Man, this game is freakin awesome. It\'s hard as hell sometimes. It really feels like you\'re trying to keep balls of mercury from rolling off the table. Trying to keep different colors from mixing, so you can pass through color-coded portals, avoiding obstacles and trying to make good time ca be frustrating! Very, very cool.

Damn, I just ordered Lumines I didn’t even know Mercury was out.

Btw, they were developing a tilt sensor that would connect via PSPs USB port. Last time I heard anything about it was that Sony was looking into it and maybe manufacture that tilt sensor themselves.

Damn, I\'m hopelessly stuck on a combo level... Have to beat time, AND keep 50% of your blob. Lots of narrow bridges. Easy to over-compensate. F*CK!

I picked up Mercury, too. So far it\'s pretty slow paced but interesting enough.

It\'s really Marble Madness but since the marbles are fluid, they can break apart into smaller marbles.

It\'s challenging. They also set the high scores ridiculously high so it\'s hard to place above last place in most events...

It\'s not as addictive as Lumines.

My initial impressions rocked. Skip this one for Lumines if you are on the fence.

And clearly since so many of you are into the PSP, this advice will be much appreciated.
