Speaking of the graphics, they're AMAZING. It's a combination of polygons (in the menu backgrounds, language and weapon selection screens) looped FMV backgrounds, overlayed mode7 scaled objects (certain parts of the environments to break up the repetition of the looped FMV environments) and very well animated, prerendered 3D sprites. The game honestly looks nearly as good as some modern console efforts. It has to be seen to be believed.

Not only is it pretty, it's also quite innovative. Instead of the typical shooter system where enemies drop a red or blue square that advances one of two types of weapons up one level (ugh!) You have 5 or so different kinds of weapons to choose before each level, each very distinct. You start with that weapon at base level, then you collect powerups from stationary rotating weapon-supply thingies. Getting them often requires risk. Also, once you fully upgrade the weapon you chose before the start of the level, you can switch to a (seemingly random) secondary weapon which is one of the others you did not choose. You can level this one up fully as well, and switch between both weapons on the fly. Did I mention there's 200 kinds of enemies and 32 bosses? And there's 15 levels, each full of unique art, each very long and difficult.

After each level you get an INET-Code, with which you can participate in a Worldwide Championship. ... I havent seen something better around.

Better than Iridion 3DMay 19, 2003

You'll love this game! You get to select your weapon and skill level. It's alot of fun and the graphics are amazing. You have a smart bomb and a super shot as your super weapons. If you buy this game you won't regret it!

Great gameAug 11, 2003
By T. Evans
This game is way better than the original Iridion. The graphics have improved which Iridion's were still wonderful. The style of the game has changed a little bit. The view is above the ship, and you can move side to side and forward and backwards, the guns upgrade to massive shooting range. The storyline is very good, but seems to stay the same with the general telling you that the "evil iridion empire is on the planet . . . " then you have to go fight on that planet. When the game is beaten, there is still more to do. An area in the game allows you to complete one level with one life and try to get the highest score possible. After you beat the level, then a code is given to you to put on the website given. You will then be ranked among other people all over the world. This is a very good game and for the price i would certainly get it.

This game is awesomeJun 14, 2003

Wow what a great improvement over the first game, first of all you might as well buy both because this one is 15 dollars and Iridion 3d is only 5 :) Anyways the graphics are amazing, they can really show off the great power of the GBA, the sound is great, this game has one of the best music selections, considering they fit perfectly into the mood of the level you are playing, and you even get a jukebox code when you finish the game. This game is a great improvement over the first one because the view mode in this one is aerial considering the first Iridion has a third person viewpoint which really dissapointed some people. Anyways this game is worth the money so make sure you add this to your game collection.

plays similar to the classic shooters.. VIEWPOINT & AXELAYJun 01, 2003
By morelpc.com
An excellent game, especially if you like old-school shooters, The graphics are the best i've seen on the gameboy advance yet.
Don't pass this up because the original iridion-3d was not good.. this is completely redone with a totally different game engine.
