  1. Lacks originality but does manage to entertain.
  2. Simplicity is normally a virtue on a handheld, but I'd say this game is too simple.
  3. Meets my expectations in many areas, but it completely fails when it comes to lastability.

    If you're looking for a GBA game to show off the system's graphical capabilities, you can't do much better than Iridion 3D. You just may not want to play the actual game.
  5. After the initial "wow" wears off, you'll be stuck with an empty experience.

    Pretty pictures and an amazing soundtrack does not make a great game, and where this game falls apart is in its redundant and flat gameplay -- it's just not exciting to play.
  7. Not only was I throughly dissappointed by Iridion, but I was downright frustrated.

    The only problem with Iridion 3D is that while it looks a million dollars, its gameplay isn't worth a rusty dime.
  9. One of the more graphically impressive GBA launch titles. From the 3D menus to the in-game 3D environments, Iridion does drop jaws with its impressive graphics. Unfortunately, the rest of the game takes away from this sense of euphoria.

    There isn't enough depth to make a game like Iridion 3D worth playing, however for being such an early release it's forgivable.
