Iron Soldier is a Sci-Fi first person shooter game that made its debut on the SNES and Sega Genesis and later on the Atari Jaguar, Playstation and 3DO consoles.

Review

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You are a skilled pilot of the armed forces and you control a strong Mech known as "Iron Soldier" for the resistance against the Iron First Corporation! Iron First is a deadly corporation planning to destroy humanity. The game is played from inside the mech view and you battle through 16 single player missions. Your main objectives involve taking out certain targets, defending convoys, collecting items and so on. The Iron Soldier series also includes the Iron Soldier II (Atari Jaguar) and Iron Soldier III (Playstation and Nuon).

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The 3D environments are colorful and the animation is really fast but the visuals look quite simplistic (given the Jag's hardware), with most buildings looking like plain colored boxes. But the game also has some nice visual details, like its fantastic explosions and the sound is great with a cool music theme and a plethora of sci-fi sound effects.
