THE GOOD:
The setting is spot on, amplified by the eerie music and unfolding plotline.

The controls feel fluid; it’s very easy to simply pick up and play.

The pre-rendered cut scenes were a surprise, and though short, they add that extra layer of polish to the proceedings.

THE BAD:
Checkpoints within the game are too far apart, when fatigued and low on health, the last thing you want is to be killed and lose 20 or so minutes of progress.

An online mode would have suited this game perfectly. I know that if Dementium had an online mode it would be much out of place, but the developers could have taken time out to add this feature to Moon.

Backtracking, I hate it.


SUMMARY:
If there is one genre that is missing in action more than others, it is that of the first person shooter (FPS). Of course, we were greeted with Metroid Hunters when the DS launched, but since then, I have...

Renegade Kid first appeared as a developer for the Nintendo DS with Dementium: The Ward, a first person horror game that was all about the creepy atmosphere of the insane asylum where you were imprisoned. While the game featured a cool story and great graphics for a DS title, the combat itself was pretty boring, and switching between the flashlight and weapons grew tiresome. It was an ambitious first effort to be sure, but Renegade Kid's first attempt left a lot to be desired.

Renegade Kid obviously learned from their first title on the DS. Their sophomore title, Moon, addresses all of the problems that crippled Dementium, delivering an experience that shows a lot of polish and pushes the DS hardware to its limits. Moon not only looks incredible, but offers tight controls and an excellent story. All of these come together to create a compelling experience that any fans of the Action/Adventure genre are sure to...

THE BAD:

~Lack of multi-player.
~Medicore soundtrack.

SUMMARY:
The Moon is a First Person Shooter designed by Renegade Kid (Creators of Dementium: The Ward) which bares a striking resemblance to Metroid Prime Hunters. It also takes place on the moon. Now apart from those facts odds are if you don't own it yourself, you know nothing else about it, the game has had practically no advertising outside of a few trailers on Gamestop and the official website, which still doesn't really gives you a great deal of background, as well as being pretty much unheard of. Now apart from how obviously bad a marketing strategy this is, it makes Moon what I suppose you could consider a 'sleeper hit', it's a brilliant game and definitely...
