Review

The Iridions are back and threatening to take over the galaxy. Players, using one lone spaceship, must battle them to regain control of the empire. The game features 16 levels with two bosses each, and six different weapons plus the smart bomb and super-beam shot. We liked the training mode and the power-ups. Our testers (eight year old boys) enjoyed the game, saying it was fun. They liked choosing their weapons and trying to defeat the Iridion, and they returned to the game time and again.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
