| While this is not a perfect game, Iron Soldier 3 offers one of NUON's better gameplay experiences. Based on the long-standing series started on Atari's Jaguar and later continued on the Playstation, the NUON version of Iron Soldier 3 ups the visuals considerable over its PSOne counterpart, with a better framerate, better textures and nicer particle effects. On the downside, with no memory save feature, everything is handled via a code, which can make life a bit of a pain, not to mention the fact that saving settings and scores is impossible. The truly sad thing is that the game was pulled from shelves almost as soon as it was released (some say it was a buggy program, though Eclipse denies it, while others think it had more to do with the events of 9/11, since you can topple skyscrapers in the game), so it's very rare (most available copies were commercial release discs deemed as DEMO's and handed out via a promotion over at the NUON DOME; retail cased copies are VERY RARE). |
