The above short video shows off one of the eight weapons of Moon, the new DS first-person shooter from publisher Mastiff. This weapon is a sort of sniper rifle, allowing you to zoom in and pick off space baddies before they can see you.
I'm currently playing through review code of Moon now. I don't have that weapon yet, but I can say that I need it... now. Oh, and switching weapons is really easy in Moon. You just tap a weapon with your stylus, slide it to what you'd like to use next, and let go. Pretty slick, if you ask me.
In fact, the whole game is slick. It must be said that none of these trailers do the game justice. Seeing it in action in person, gliding along like butter in 60 FPS -- it's all really impressive. And the game? It's great. Look forward to our review very soon.

I gave up on Moon already, because of the game breaking bug mentioned in the IGN review. It's absolutely fucking retarded that they left that in there, and that they designed the driving level in a manner that makes the way to get stuck seem like the right thing to do.

Everything in it just looks blah, and that's not just a shot at the graphics (which, frankly, hurt my eyes more than the original "Doom").
I've tried it out myself. It's pretty fun. The graphics are amazing for a DS game. It gets a little repetitive at times but overall, it's great.
