Summary
The conflict unveiled in Earth 2150 shifts to the Moon, where the Lunar Corporation and United Civilised States battle for control of this strategic outpost. As the game progresses, the results of the Lunar Corporation's secretive Project SunLight experiments force both sides to change tactics as a new breed of menace evolves.
The game retains its award-winning roots, boasting as it does, one of the most flexible yet easy-to-use fully three-dimensional graphic engines ever seen in a real-time strategy game. Whilst the move to 3D has blighted the efforts of many game designers, developer Topware has created what is recognised as the most playable and visually impressive strategy game around.
Moon Project features a host of improvements and enhancements over its predecessor. For starters, the game features new units, structures and maps, requiring a whole new style of play. The display technology has been completely overhauled and features a host of brand new special effects, including meteor showers earthquakes and other meteorological catastrophes. Several new in-game features command different game strategies - players can now recycle units and structures, and the complexity of the tunnel systems has been increased.
The structure of missions has been improved to allow a more varied style of play, with the game wrapped up in a rich and varied storyline. Stacks of hidden objectives and tasks reveal additional secrets.
The challenge doesn't stop once the war has been won, however. Moon Project offers one of the most fully featured level editors ever designed, allowing gamers to easily adapt existing terrain or design their own from scratch. Additional textures can easily be imported, allowing gamers to design levels with completely fresh themes. This flexibility extends down to each individual unit, with all attributes fully configurable.
