The graphics are reasonable but the ridiculously simple games concept, minimal sound effects and its slow speed make Moon Cresta a very boring game. Read Review

A terrible version, this. The graphics are bad, the game is sluggish, and there are bugs in the alien movement. Read Review

Great fun to play and extremely addictive, but I don't think it is likely to leap to the top of the charts. Read Review
