Mercury Meltdown

Ignition Entertainment's iconic quicksilver blob flows onto PlayStation 2.

Building on the popular PSP (PlayStation Portable) Mercury Meltdown game, this 'remix'
marks the first outing on PS2 for our frustratingly fun, liquid Mercury blob. Taking control of
your quicksilver friend by gently - or not so gently - tipping the platform, you must navigate
increasingly more complex courses.

The Mercury blob itself now has four varying 'states' - Normal, Solid, Fast and Slow. These
states allow for larger, more complex levels, which in turn mean a greater challenge and
more enjoyment. Featuring a total of 12 labs (two of which are exclusive to the PS2
version), Mercury Meltdown Remix offers over 200, challenging levels.

• Over 200 challenging levels
• Dual analog control of the environment
• Awesome lighting and special effects combine with state of the art blob physics
