Editor's review of Animated Visions of Mars

• Version reviewed: Animated Visions of Mars 1.0

This nifty screensaver predicts the future of life on the infamous red planet by displaying four ideas of what may happen on Mars in the coming years. One scene depicts a spacecraft touching down on an empty field of sand, while yet another shows the exploration of a cavernous landscape. We really appreciated the well-drawn, attractive scenes, though we wish there were more movement in some of the shots. The sound effects are minimal, but they reinforce the feeling of isolation and desolation the screensaver conveys. Unfortunately, this program doesn't offer any customization options, so you'll have to view it strictly as is. The trial version doesn't include all the scenes of the full version, but it also doesn't cram adware down your throat the way many screensavers do. Sci-fi fans and space enthusiasts will most enjoy Animated Visions of Mars, but it's likely to appeal to many other users, too.
