  Amazon.com Review:
  Iridion 3D is reminiscent of arcade shooters such as Galaga or Gradius, except that Iridion is done in over-the-shoulder third-person 3-D. The problem is that this perspective really, really hurts the gameplay. One can only wonder how much better Iridion 3D might have been had the developers chosen a more workable point of view.
  
  Your ship sometimes blocks your sightline as you shoot, and it's extremely difficult to accurately gauge distance and depth perception. Is that a small enemy that's close to my ship (maybe even about to collide with it), or is it a large one that's farther away? Are they shooting at me or are those "shots" actually distant ships? Are those enemies or part of the tunnel scenery? Another problem is the jerky control. If you're flying through a tunnel trying to kill the bad guys, you should be able to literally fly in circles. With the Game Boy Advance directional pad, squares are about all you can manage.
  
  At least the game is extremely pretty to look at. Iridion 3D boasts one of the best graphics engines available for the Game Boy Advance, and considering the competition, that's no idle compliment. Progressing through the stages and worlds one is bombarded with beautiful scenery almost as much as enemy fire.
  
  Yes, the game looks spectacular, and it will partially appease arcade shooter fans waiting for Game Boy Advance conversions of classics such as R-Type and the aforementioned coin-ops. It's just too important to see what you're doing in a game of this type to recommend the title to anyone but the most hard-core fans of the genre. --Andrew S. Bub

  Amazon.com Product Description:
  When a hotshot pilot returns to Earth from a deep-space mission to find that the evil Iridion Empire has taken over his home planet, he does what any natural, warm-blooded earthling would do: he starts kicking alien butt! Iridion 3-D pushes the Game Boy Advance hardware to new levels of near-3-D graphics and lustrous color in this space shooter. Players fly their SHN fighters toward oncoming hordes of aliens through seven large levels. Be sure to pick up the five extra weapons along the way, each of which can be powered-up three times, to prepare for the big-boss showdowns.

  Rating: - More fun than... Nothing
  I got Iridion 3D from amazon.com the other day ..., and thought I'd post a little review of it.
  
  In short for the skimmers, I'm having more fun writing this review than I did playing the game.
  
  The story of the game goes something like this:
  
  Show picture of city
  Show picture of battleship
  Show 1, no... 2, no.... 3!! blips on a radar screen
  Show distressed guy in control room
  Show city again
  Show UFO over city!

  Rating: - This game is alright......but
  WEll ,this game is ok, its got the BEST graphics i have ever seen for a handheld game, its got better graphics than a N64 game, but it lacks in content. It the same thing every level, and its fun, but gets kinda boring. I guess the makers spent so much time worrying about the graphics than gameplay.

  Rating: - One word: Su-ucks!!!
  I own this game and it sucks! A total waste of the GameBoy Advance's true programming and graphics, there's like 7 levels and all you do is fly around in a little spacecraft shoothing things that are coming after you. Believe me kids, you really don't wanna get it! IT'S HORRIBLE!!!!

  Rating: - Great graphics do not make a good game
  The first time I laid eyes on Iridion for the GBA, my mouth watered when I saw the gorgous graphics and surprisingly realistic explosions. When I played it though, the experience became quite a different one. There are a lot of times when your ship blocks your view of what your shooting, and even when you can see what your shooting at you can't judge the distance, and with so much on screen action at once you will suffer a lot of cheap deaths. The control is awkward as well, and there are times when ... Read More
