Archer Maclean's Mercury pulls you into a futuristic puzzle world were you tilt the whole level to drive a blob of mercury to its goal. The game itself presents many challenging feats such as spliting the blob of mercury in half to make it different colors and combing them to make another color so you can go through different color gates and activate switches of the same color, did I say color enough for you? Its more than just colors, you also have to go down narrow passage ways, go across moving platforms, traveling down moving belts and even making splashy jumps. The graphics are just simply amazing from the mercury traveling in such a liquidess form to the cinema sequences at the beginning of levels, it looks like somthing you would see in a Final Fantasy game. The control is just way too tempermental, its really easy to fall off of the side because of the sensitivity. The camera angle does not really help out alot, you can change it but it doesn't change fast enough espicelly when your under time limits. Some puzzles seems like it would take an act of god for you to complete them, doing 5 things at once just gets a little crazy. The last thing I didn't like is the loading time, you could pay all your bills while you wait for the game to load. I would suggest this game for all you puzzle breakers or if you like playing tilt-a-ball alot at Chuck E. Cheese to win tickets.
THE BREAKDOWN

LIKES
+Amazing Graphics.
+Some puzzles are alot of fun to see how they play out in a whole.
+The colors man, THE COLORS!!!
DISLIKES
-Some puzzles are tedious.
-Camera angles just don't work for those choke points.
-You have time to make a pizza while the game loads.
FINAL THOUGHT
Tilt-A-Ball is back in a brand new futuristic world, but it may take forever to even get a chance to play with the long loading times.
