Iridion 3D

"Definantly the most visually impressive launch title for the GBA."

But that still doesnt mean its worth buying. Iridion 3d isnt without its share of problems. But we'll get on that later. Well anyways, along with the review!

Graphics - 10
Definantly THE best graphics of the GBA launch titles. When I played this game I couldnt believe I was playing this on a handheld console. Believe me you'll be astonished too. It definantly shows the power of the GBA. These graphics easily rivals some of the Playstation's graphics (the launch title graphics that is). If you want to get a game for the GBA just so show off your friends, this is it. The screenshots just dont show how visually stunning this game is.

Sound - 7
Gets monotonous after a while, but I guess you want notice unless your going to write a review on it ^_^.

Gameplay - 5
Believe me, not the best GBA launch title out there. Theres only one button involved, and that shoots. Its pretty hard to actually hit the enemies, so your better off just avoiding them. Each level has a boss, which is a must in true shooters. A multiplayer mode would be nice, but it probably be a rarity to find some other person with the same game, and I highly doubt the downloadable feature would be able to handle this. Maybe one level. This games gameplay is average at best.

Replay Value - 1-10
It matters. You either like it or hate it. If you really like it, you can probably play this game for years. If you dont, you'll probably play it until you beat the first level (which isnt that easy) and never touch it again.

Difficulty - 9
Pretty hard, but not THAT frustrating (which is a high plus). It'll take you a couple of tries to beat the first level, and if your determined enough you can probably beat the game within no time.

Buy/Rent - RENT! Then if you like the game buy it, but it can be beaten on a rental if you're really good at shooters, and are very determined.

Overall - 5
If you like shooters, check it out. If you dont, its worth atleast a rental. I personally am a very big fan of mindless shooters, and enjoyed this game for a while. But it definantly deserves to be checked out by everyone.
