Nintendo DS reviews: Moon

Moon (Nintendo DS) screenshotMoon for the Nintendo DS has been generating a lot of buzz lately. If you like first person shooters and you own a DS, you might want to look into Moon.

IGN DS
When it comes to making a purchase decision on Moon, I encourage anyone that loves FPS games on DS to check this one out, as its technical offering, story, design, style, and control are all amazingly well done.

DS Fanboy
For some, the action may drag on, and repetitive puzzles and battles won’t help. For others, the sense of isolation, the pressing, often eerie atmosphere, and the sinister music and effects will blend together into a seamless whole.

Modojo
We have mixed feelings with Moon. It’s a superb visual achievement with spectacular controls and fun shooting, but we grew tired of the old school “hit this switch to activate this door” gameplay. So long as you go into it expecting a slow-paced first person adventure instead of Doom, you’ll enjoy this lunar vacation.

Ars Technica
This is a great surprise this early in 2009, and it’s the sort of satisfying and well-designed experience that the Wii needs. Shooter fans, those who like adventure titles, or just anyone looking for a solid single-player experience on the DS should pick this up.
