    Unfortunately, inspiration and programming prowess aren't enough and in the end, Moon starts off strong, but quickly turns into a boring and repetitive experience.

    Moon is a decent time killer and is great for anyone looking for an interesting sci-fi adventure for their DS handheld.

    One of the best looking DS games ever made, but the gameplay just dosen't live up to the visuals.

I rated it an 8 out of 10 because the enemies and levels are repetitive, but with the DS's limitations, its forgivable. If you want to play this game, i would recommend the 3DS's remaster: "Moon chronicles", because the design and the controls are a little bit better (because of the C Stick on the 3DS) Final thoughts: Moon is a great game in the ds lineup, and if you can find a cheap price for it, i would definitely recommend it.… Full Review »

Yes, the enemies can be a bit repetitious. But the backgrounds, sound and action are first-rate. The overall feeling is very spooky. The minigames with the bot add good puzzle-work to the game. I couldn't put it down.… Full Review »
