5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS GAME FOR YOUR NUON! IT ROCKS!, November 8, 2001

This review is from: Iron Soldier 3: Game (DVD)

Iron Soldier 3 is THE REASON why I purchased a Nuon-enhanced DVD player in the first place. Why? Being a huge fan of the series on the Atari Jaguar, the first time I saw screenshots of this game I knew this was the version of IS that I had always envisioned and hoped for!

After waiting and waiting for months for a final production copy (which is still on the way we're told), VM Labs generously provided Nuon users with a free copy of the buggy/beta version of this epic game. Has the wait been worth it? The answer is a most definite YES!!

Few games released on next generation systems can hold my interest. With the exception of Shenmue for the Dreamcast and the titles on my Nuon such as Merlin Racing, Iron Soldier has been my most played game for the last few weeks. What makes the game so great? The way the game conveys the sense of actually piloting a mech is what has been the hallmark of the Iron Soldier series. The enhanced graphics, weapons and missions round out this incredible game. There's nothing better than walking around, stomping on tanks, shooting down helicopters and leveling wave after wave of buildings with a steady stream of rockets, cruise missiles, and gatling guns! The explosion effects are the best I've ever seen!

You must own this game!

Oh, and when the final version of the game does finally come out I will definitely buy it!

This review is from: Iron Soldier 3: Game (DVD)

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).

4.0 out of 5 stars Mech Combat at its DVD Best, December 16, 2001

This review is from: Iron Soldier 3: Game (DVD)

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 offers enhanced visuals from its PSOne counterpart and takes advantage of VM Labs' NUON Processor, found in the Toshiba SD2300, and Samsung's N501 & N2000. Gamers who take the plunge will be greeted by multiple gameplay modes (arcade, mission and multiplayer), some of NUON's better 3D graphics and some of the most effective surround sound effects in any game (Eclipse was a pioneer in this area, as the earlier Jaguar Iron Soldier games managed to also excel aurally).

While NUON titles have been few and far between since the platform's launch in 2000 (courtesy of Samsung's Extiva), this title, along with Jeff Minter's Tempest 3000 offer incentive enough for most gamers who really need a better DVD player to at least look into the NUON technology.
