No disappointment whatsoever. I dug Dementium and just so long as they fixed the respawn and save point issues like they say they have I am sure that I will be super pleased with this one. ;)

Glad you’re excited for this game, Kid. Hope it’s not too much of a disappointment. In the build I played, the visuals were pretty underwhelming. I know that the DS is capable of producing some really great-looking 3d games, but Moon seems to sacrifice a bit of detail for a high framerate.

As for the audio, the voice acting sounded a bit amateurish, and the soundtrack was Doom-like, heavy on the synthesizers. We’ll have to see what the whole package looks like when the final game comes out but I think if you play Dementium you’ll have a pretty good idea of what Moon will be like.

Correction: Were you playing the same Moon as I have been following since it was Project M?

There, that’s better…caught myself. LOL.

Were you playing the same Moon and I have been following since it was Project M. Also, you should take into consideration that what you’re seeing is on a handheld. Think about it; you are essentially playing what you refer to as “…a lack of detail that reminds me of early 3D PC games…” on a hand held device. Personally, I think this game is gonna’ rock. And what about the audio..? Was there any in the build you got to play or did you just not mention it?

Info, info, info. I want more!
