DM-Mars Crater. . . . Author Insky . . . . review by Flapjax

PROS

* extraordinary skybox (beautifully done)

* moving transport platforms (beautifully done also)

* large map (in this case ... it works)

CONS

* way too dark (on the planet's surface okay, but not in the structures)

COMMENTS

Adaptation of this theme appears expertly executed within the boundaries of the Unreal Editor. I think the author has been to Mars. It's size alone invokes the foreboding desolate planet effect, although, large landscape maps, seriously restrict the lethalness of most weapons. Yes, you can get on top of the canyon wall; nice. There are three extraterrestrial (i.e. man-made) structures; an archway platform, a main complex and a landing site. Each site has it's attributes but overall lack immediate details; desks, tables, chairs, computers, etc... Take your choice; it has an abandoned feel OR it has an unfinished feel. d:-\ The landing pad is disappointingly dark ... no make that BLACK AS PITCH. We (humans) expect light fixtures, with a theme like Mars the possibilities are endless ... come up with some so we can see where the H' to go !!! Any review would be amiss without mentioning the two absolutely outstanding moving transport platforms the author has included. There, I mentioned them. Now do yourself a favor and take them for a ride !!! They are a blast to shoot off of ... no pun intended. Or ... as Schwarzenegger said, " Get Your Ass To Mars ". d:-)
