The graphics are by far the best. It may not stress the GBA's features but has the most vivid visuals of any GBA title so far to date. The game play is average, but it does get fun after a while and the levels are just stunning. You have to get used to the game play at first, as it's not a simple 2D scroller like Mario, but after you get a hang of it and get used to the gameplay, it'll be one of the best GBA games you've ever played.

A must see, must get

What is wrong with the people who think this is a bad game. Every1 sayz that the prespective makes it hard to play or there's no action in the game just shooting and dodging. Well this game in my opinion is awesome. Yes, it isn't perfect, it can get a little frustrating, but don't ALL games get you a little frustrating? I think this game is very fun. The graphics made my jaw drop, and its very chalenging. The grapics are better than Tony Hawk 2 for GBA which gets all the hype. I'd like to credit the maker of this game for a job well done. Get this game!

Very good graphics

This game shows the 3D capabilities of gameboy advance. It has 7 levels of difficulties, and one can save the passwords at the accomplishment of the level. The sound effects are pleasing. You are in a space ship and you have to fight your way and defeat the bosses. It is not a major strategy game.

It does not use the L and R buttons on top of the gameboy. It is a hard game to play.

The most annoying part of the game is that you can't start at a higher level. However, there is a way around it. Go to the password, and type *S3L3CT* -- it will take you to options where one of the option will permit starting at a desired level. Furthermore, one can view the gallery of graphics with *G4LL3RY* password. Enjoy!

This game is SWEET!!!

If you like games like Star Fox, get this awesome game! The graphics are incredibly realistic and the game is challenging. It sometimes gets hard to tell what is what, like the difference between the bad guys and other stuff, but that doesn't prevent me from not giving this 5. I would get this game as one of your first for GBA.

COOOOOOOOOOOOL!

I saw a preview of this game and I think that it is really great! I pre-ordered this and I think that you should to. If you like futuristic racing while being able to shoot at other players this is definetly the game for you. Too bad however that it can be played by only one player but just because of this mistake doesn't meen you shouldn't get this great game. I can't wait until it comes out can you?

Iridion 3-D is one of the few original Majesco games releasing for the US launch of the Game Boy Advance. A spin on the classic side-scrolling shooter, Iridion 3-D puts you in a single ship that must shoot its way through a horde of futuristic environments complete with traps, enemies, and obstacles. We recently had a chance to sit down with a near-final build of the game to see how Iridion 3-D stacks up against the rest of the genre. Iridion 3-D doesn't have much of a storyline. You're a futuristic fighter pilot who must shoot his way through a series of environments in an effort to defend Earth from a horrible enemy invasion. The game doesn't exactly explain who the enemy is, or why you're fighting them, but the lack of details is quickly forgotten when you get into the action of the game. Iridion 3-D plays very similarly to your standard side-scrolling or top-down shooter. You play as a jet, and you must move back and forth and shoot your weapons at the enemies that fly at you. Killing certain enemies will leave power-ups behind, and picking them up will equip your fighter with better weapons. The game currently has at least three types of power-ups, and most of them are slightly different versions of the classic weapon power-ups found in other shooters. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be any special bombs or missiles in the game, and the secondary button didn't do anything. Additionally, at this point, the control isn't as precise as we would have liked, and we found that the fighter would often float a few millimeters to the left or right after we stopped pressing the D-pad.

The graphics in the game look very good, and the game runs at a very slick frame rate. Unfortunately, there are no alternate view modes, and the behind-the-ship perspective frequently obscures the action and makes it difficult to gauge exactly where incoming fire is headed. The sound is pretty awesome, and it really takes advantage of the GBA's superior sound technology with some hot music and sound effects.

At this point, Iridion 3-D looks like it could be a great game for fans of the genre. With its unique perspective and the classic gameplay that makes shooters such great pick-up-and-play games, Iridion 3-D should balance out the GBA launch lineup swimmingly.

First off, the graphics in this game are absolutely stunning. The scrolling is smooth, and the music is incredible. The control problems aren't as bad as other reviewers have made them out to be, but they can still be slightly annoying at times. As far as game-life goes, if you don't find the controls to be an overwhelming obstacle, you will keep playing this game for a very long time. It is simply addictive, and don't assume that the game is easy. The levels are massive, and the boss fights are some of the most difficult ones I've ever played. To top it all off, even with all of the enemies on screen at one time, the frame-rate doesn't slow down.
4 1/2 stars (the only problem with the whole game was the controls)

Hard at first...

I was really looking forward to this game, even though all the reviews give this game a low score, so I ordered it. When I got it, it was really disappointing to play it - it was just too hard. Way too hard. So I stopped playing it for a while. Well, my friend came over a few days ago, and when I first turned my GBA on, he was blown away by the loading screen! But then, the game - well, he just loved it! I told him how I wanted to sell it, and he basically said I was crazy. So after he left, I started playing Iridion 3D again, and now I can't stop. The graphics are amazing - so is this sound. Controls are simple - just navigate through, and keep your thumb on the A button. This is a hard game, but I'm getting better. I know if you get this game, you'll be disappointed at first, but you'll get better. I rated this game 4 stars because of the password save. I have a big piece of paper filled up with passwords. It's just so annoying to have to carry paper and a pencil around with you everywhere you go. But other than that, this is a great game. You'll find out it's a great game if you continue to play it - if you stop, you'll want to sell it. I own this game, so I know. People were reviewing this game even before it came out, and they rated it 5 stars just because of how it looks. Then, when it came out, people were reviewing it with low ratings. But I enjoy these kind of games, and if you do, get Iridion 3D. It looks even better than Playstation games!!!

Fun and Hard at first
