    It will take some time to reach a level of Zen with the control system. It takes plenty of mindfulness to reach a state of mindlessness. Once the controls become second nature Iron Phoenix comes to life.

    Good game + bad players = a wee bit too much stress for folks like me, but perhaps we'll see what happens with the game again in a few months.

    Without a story mode, the game is essentially only an online brawler that offers very little to people who don't play on Live. The online mode has its share of problems mostly concerning the quagmire that is deathmatch.

    With its surprisingly awful fighting mechanics, busted-up frame rate, and bare-bones gameplay, Iron Phoenix is just a colossal waste of time.
