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

Customer Reviews of Iridion
Iridion -3D- Review 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)
One flaming piece o' crap comeing right up!
If you buy this game your basicly getting ready to buy well, a flaming piece of crap! Although it may sound rude stareing at burning poop is more fun because you might catch on fire ohhh how exciteing. The only thing this game has going for it is graphics. Its not fun you shot at spinning dots for goodness sake! Ill go threw everything in the game and youll see why it sucks so so much
Gameplay 1/10: The game play is painfully bad. There is no saveing system you have to wright down a 'password' witch you get after beating a boss at the end of the level and of course in bad taste loseing to the boss causes you start all over. Also the game is incredibly difficult often takeing 10 or more trys to beat the first level!! Also you have no enemys really in the first level you shoot at spinning dots that change colors what the heck is that!!?? It takes about 2 mintues to die and start all over, gahhh!
Graphics/Music: 8/10 The music is pretty dang annoying but the graphics are very good especcialy for a gameboy. Of course the graphics are dark makeing it hard to see alot of times wow another mistake but theres no surprises there
Fun factor: 0/10 Yes the dreaded zero. Why do i give it zero, well its not a fun game at all not one bit. It feels like you are forceing your self to play it and since its so hard if you want to beat it youll be throwing it at your wall and screaming "Why the heck did i waste my money on THIS!" No wonder it comes free when you buy game boy advances.... Anyone who plays this most likely is forceing them selves to do it or are programers forced to play it.
Storyline: 3/10 The story line is pitiful but at least they tried. And its best jet fighter games dont have storylines no matter what. If its a airplaine fight game its goona suck in the storyline department so dont hold it against the makers.
All in all I think this game is painfully bad and the only good thing about it is its graphics witch simply do not make up a game. I cant believe any company made this much less nintendo. Dont waste your money on this spend it on something else theres so many better games then this, this flaming piece of crap!
