Tilting the game world takes some getting used to, but once you’ve mastered it, it’s easy enough unless you try to rush a level, especially when the countdown to the target level completion time can be heard and then you might come a cropper.
The Challenge Mode and Bonus levels can also be unlocked by completing sections of the main game itself as you go along.
You can also select your own music from the Xbox 360’s hard drive to go with your game (I opted for David Bowie’s superb – but hugely underrated – 1987 album, Never Let Me Down), but it plays far too quitely compared to the game’s own tunes, so you may as well stick with those, especially as they are exceedingly funky.
Mercury Hg – Tutorial levels (720p HD)
Overall, Mercury Hg was fun for about 20-30 minutes, until the novelty of the game wore off because it’s just so repetitive. There are many levels to work through, this game having a total of 60, all in batches with various elemental names and which get more complex as you progress, but while you’d think there’d be longevity in it, I found it gets old very quickly and I didn’t play with it for too long.
It’s only 400 points so won’t break the bank, but I’d advise a free trial first before considering a purchase.
