My First hour: MOON (DS)
nademagnet | 10:49 AM on 01.16.2009 6 comments




For those that don't read the front page or pay attention to DS games MOON is a FPS made by



Their previous title was the FPS Horror game for the DS Dementium.



MOON uses an upgraded version of the same engine Renegade Kid developed for Dementium. It runs silky smooth and the control feels very similar to a keyboard and mouse set up on the PC (especially if you use a thumb stylus. You play the part of a Space Marine sent to the moon to investigate some weird sh*t. After about ten minutes of being on the MOON the weird sh*t goes "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" and F*$ks up a lot of dudes. You, being the balls out space marine, go to "recon" the area and find out what happened to you buddies. "Recon" must be Space Marine for "blow that sh*t up!" because you end up shooting first and not asking any questions afterwords. And it's all good because this game is really fun.



Renegade Kid has learned from their mistakes with Dementium and taken a page out of Metroid's play book by adding a sweet map system and Save room system. So as you progress through an area you'll come across map rooms that reveal the level ahead of you and soon after the map room you'll find a save room soon after that. For the first hour you really don't see that many different kinds of enemies. Mostly floaty death balls that either shoot one ball of kill at your or a triple burst of destroy balls.



After you complete the first "level" you are given access to your Wort-.. SpaceBuggie and you get to motor around on the MOON's surface and shoot things with a big ass gun. It controls very similar to Halo's Warthog.



So far I am really enjoying this title. I would recommend it to anyone that has a DS and likes action games.

This is out? I didn't know. I am sketical cause I LOVED Dementium but I HATED their death system.

I will pick this up eventually. If not only to experience an updated version of that engine. Also, Renegade Kid put some pretty rad puzzles in Dementium and the Metroid influence is sort of icing on the cake. Looking forward to this!

Blindsidedork: Yeah man that Die and start over at the beginning thing was a mess. Apparently they added a save system to fix that for the European release.

 about me

I love video games. I love them for better or for worse. It's a passion that will for ever drain my bank account and waking hours.

I've spent more money on game consoles, pc setups, and games than I've spent on any other type(s) of product... other than food and gas of course.

I'm currently playing:
Little Big Planet
Halo 3
Gears of War 2
Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2
WipeOut HD

Please read and enjoy.
