Iridion 3D (GBA) Status: Stopped playing - Got Bored I started playing this game on Monday 16 August, 2004 // I stopped playing this game on: Thursday 19 August, 2004
Current opinion of this game
It sucks. Not worth it...ok, maybe if it costs you less than $3.

I give up. I just don't like this game....and I have to say that it is because the game is poorly designed. There's a high score table that doesn't save your scores when you turn the GBA off!!

Yes. I'm still annoyed at the stupid password thing. Actually, I'm MORE annoyed. It turns out that the password doesn't "unlock" a level, it just lets you "continue". So, if you die, you have to start over...from level 1. The password is a 9 character long alphanumeric. That means that it is too long. Especially since this game is for a mobile platform that you are supposed to play "on the go". (which, in fact, I do). Yeah, like I have pencil and paper handy to write down (its too long to remember) this long code... Idiots.

This game sucks. Ok. Let me start from somewhere that makes more sense. (why would I buy a game that sucks?). This game only cost my like $3. It's a shooter. It's "3D". In other words, everything comes "towards" you. When enemy ships are far away, they are really small, as they get close they get bigger. You can't see where you are shooting because your ship blocks the view. Keep the fire button pressed at all times. Dodge everything. Stick to the corners. If you clear a level make sure you write down a 9 character password. Why? Why? Why? I'm actually going to play this some more just to see if there is something else to it. (there is only one button, no super bombs or anything). But...why the passwords? I thought we had already left those days behind...
