Iron Soldier 3

"Iron Soldier 3 struggles to successfully meld the mech simulation aspects of the successful Mechwarrior franchise and the action-oriented proprieties of Armored Core, but ultimately fails in a considerable number of key areas."

"There is nothing more frustrating than playing a game where the controls are so inadequate that they ruin an otherwise good game. Iron Soldier 3 would fall into that category except for the fact that it is not that good a game."

"Cumbersome movement and irksome mission objectives, such as search-and-retrieval runs, punch holes in the title's armor. But Eclipse Software anticipated and dealt with the possibility of boredom. Arcade modes, in which wanton destruction is the prime directive, dish out thrill-a-minute action on demand."

"Playing Iron Soldier 3 is like watching your grandparents tongue kiss; it's a bit disturbing but not very exciting."

"If your dream is to beat up walls with gigantic, iron fists while spraying military vehicles with fake-looking gunfire (from a first-person perspective), then perhaps Iron Soldier 3 will be right up your alley. But given the rather shallow experience it offers, you're better off going with any of the numerous other mech games available."
