Good game + bad players = a wee bit too much stress for folks like me, but perhaps we'll see what happens with the game again in a few months.
-
Without a story mode, the game is essentially only an online brawler that offers very little to people who don't play on Live. The online mode has its share of problems mostly concerning the quagmire that is deathmatch.
-
The combat options are refreshing, and the ability to pummel up to 15 other people in a deathmatch is awesome, but the graphics aren't as smooth as they could be, and there's not that much more to do, due to the lack of a comprehensive story mode.

Official Xbox MagazineWhile the character models may leave something to be desired, the environments in Iron Phoenix impress with detail and variety. [June 2005, p.85]
-
In the end analysis the game just does not hold up. The broken frame rate makes it difficult to control and it just can't deliver on its promise of a massive online fighting game.
-
It's a curiosity worth a rental -- before the Xbox Live population drops to zero, as it quickly does for so many second-tier games. You just might be able to overlook its flaws and find the button-mashing fun.
