Check this game out 'Take on Mars'

Sadly, for me it won't work when starting. I am angry by this fact as for I can't start other wise it will say "Preparing to launch" then exit and show the post game adds

Sounds real awesome, but my computer would never run it.

Maybe it does, if it even allows me but if I do I would get less than 1 FPS, if that is possible, on lowest settings.

Will definitely try it when I get a new graphics card. Actually, better choice of words would be "IF I get a new graphics card".

I'd love to build my own rover and do science with it in Mars!

Anybody picked up some nice screenshots yet?

I have some that I can share:

Interesting, NOVA SHAL PAVE THE WAY IN MODDING!

Are you gonna be more adventures?

Well, I love the concept and I think it has a lot of potential. But right now its a little tedious at times - and I had to load the landing-sequence with my first medium rover three times before it landed without breaking off wheel. On of it's wheel still got stuck after a few hundred meters

I know that feel. I finally sent my first rover to Gale Crater last night, and I landed it 8 times before I quit for the night - two times the skycrane turned 90 degrees and accelerated straight into the ground, the other six times it damaged wheels on landing.

I'd buy...but my system would explode.

[NovaSilisko]

Oh, you're complaining about stuck wheels? I present you my former most successful and longest-lived rover, til it was superseded by Hyperion

[Motokid600]

Are the skycranes scripted? You guys say your breaking wheels with rough landings. I've only played a few hours and I have no control over the descent. Haven't built my own though.

Nice game though. It's very pretty. I swear watching the heat shields fall away is damn near euphoric for me. I just saw the HD Curiosity landing. Coolest video on YouTube hands down.

The skycranes are AI I think, as in the future they are going to be controllable.

There is a failure chance associated with part quality, so lower quality parts have a higher chance of randomly crashing, or failing.

[The Destroyer]

Very pretty.

Some stuff I want:

Autopilot. Exploring while chatting= love.

Maybe an "abort" feature, that saves the thing but costs extra?

Another thing: All my rovers always land, but they get wheel 1 and 2 errors frequently.
