When I first loaded this game, the background music which sounded very much like a composition from Hollywood blasted through my speakers. A player can choose between a multi-player or an arcade game, and any of the three Martian spacecrafts. After I had chosen my space vehicle, I click on “Return to Game” to start playing.
GAME CONTROL (3/5)
The game control was quite easy but challenging. To play, I had to use both the keyboard and the mouse. The keyboard was used to control the movements of the spacecraft. The mouse was use for shooting. There was a dark blue circle that was supposed to help me aim at my target. Unfortunately, the color was not really suitable for the black background. As a result, the blue circle seemed to have disappeared at times. Mouse and keyboard co-ordination was also a bit tricky for me.

GAME PLAY (3/5)
Playing the game was fun but challenging. For each round that lasted two minutes, I had to look carefully for robots that might be ‘hidden’ in the asteroids, and aim the blue circle as accurate as possible in order to destroy any spotted enemies. Using both the mouse, and keyboard together is also a challenge for anyone who is not used to it. I resorted to just using the mouse, and it did help me to score. Occasionally, a large robot would appear making it more exciting. I found having to see the game loading screen every time before entering the next level annoying. There is no level of difficulty for you to choose from in this game. Instead, you have to start from the lowest level, and work all you up to the highest by scoring enough points. There was a small “radar screen” to help me to know the position of my spacecraft.

GRAPHICS (3/5)
The graphics for this game gave a realistic representation in 3D-like environment with its realistic-looking movements of asteroids. When I move my mouse, my space craft appeared to be moving in 3D. The large robots that appeared at times also looked three-dimensional. However, a more visible color instead of dark blue should be used for the blue circle that I had to use to aim for my target.
SOUND (4/5)
The sound was very good. The background music created some sense of urgency during game play. The sound effects which included the shooting of the laser beams, and the voice that reminded me that I did have much time left for a specific level was a also great.
One innovation I found in this game is the boxing-ring-like border which gave the feeling of fighting against robots in a boxing ring. Overall, I give this game a three out of five.
