Guide Review - "Moon Tycoon"
Your mission is to colonize and mine the moon for Helium 3. It's not an easy job - saving the world. But "Moon Tycoon" comes with a ton of buildings to help you complete your mission. To survive on the moon you'll have to build energy plants (solar included), homes, and utilities for the colonists. And while you're up there mining the moon, you can even earn money from tourists. Build some attractions, and the visitors will start pouring in.
The most appealing aspect of the game is the 3D graphics. The camera angles let you see just about every aspect of your city. As great as the graphics are, it does take a little practice to get use to the controls. If you enjoy city building games, and want a break from "SimCity," "Moon Tycoon" is the way to go.
