Iron Soldier 3

rating: 4

Well, I'll be honest: It got a 4 so that tells you alot. I'm not going to tell you all about the game. I'll just give you a little info. and you can just go rent it if you like it enough. Iron Soldier 3 puts you in the cockpit of a 42-foot-tall mech, among other automatons, which you control from a first-person perspective. The game's missions seem to be geared toward use of the Iron Soldier. The other two selectable mechs (the Satyr Walker and the CE-Tech - both chicken-walker types) seem like afterthoughts, as they don't have the appendages necessary to take full advantage of the game's fully destructible environments - having to waste valuable ammo in order to accomplish such a thing, they can be construed as more functional and direct.

Iron Soldier 3's focus more on wanton destruction and less mission objectives. Every building in the game's environment is fully destructible, and tanks, choppers, and attack aircraft densely populate the levels; both of these factors do well, in tandem, to provide a sufficient barrier to the concentration required to complete a mission. It is, of course, possible to blatantly ignore the wiles of tanks, choppers, and edifices and to trod through a stage with nothing but the objective in mind - but you generally get the impression that that isn't your main focus. Given the number of munitions at your disposal, and the generous, almost enticing, placement of buildings and enemies, it seems as if the developers had this sort of degenerative demolition in mind. The result? A game resembling a first-person version of Rampage, albeit with a mech-worthy arsenal of weapons and a more earnest narrative tone.

So take a look at the pictures and movies we got.
