There’s not a great deal that can be done to improve the 2D shooter’s basic premise, but Iridion II raises the bar by including superior audio, very decent graphics, and a good variety of both new (auto-upgrade) as well as classic (super-shot and smart bombs) gameplay features.
Fans of "Ikaruga" will be glad to know that there is finally a comparable title available for the Game Boy Advance.

Holy crap this game is a challenge. Instead of easy medium hard you have hard. really hard. and insanely hard. Overall the game is a blast. I highly recommend it. Only downsize is the save system. Instead of a file you have to memorize a password given after each round.

A solid shoot-em-up with amazing 3D visuals. Shmup fans are really going to enjoy it.

Drop-dead gorgeous visuals and an old-school shooter soundtrack, coupled with an intelligent shooting system and interface, beautifully rendered enemies, arcade and story play modes and even a gallery with a doorway of special effects. [May 2003, p.70]
It offers some decent old-shool action and the web stats but the old-school passwords kick it in the teeth.
There's not a whole lot of technique in Iridion II. But what is here is extremely challenging and a lot of fun on the Game Boy Advance.
This time around they have not only made a great playable shooter, but they've come up with a new and interesting way to process 3D graphics.
Play control is tight and the graphics are detailed, with a great sci-fi style. [July 2003, p.147]
Very fun game with great music, level design, graphics, and gameplay. All around very solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!D:):)))))))

Vertical shooter reminiscent of Nanostray on the DS with very nice graphics and very cheesy music. Missing that je ne sais quoi that makes for a truly great shmup, but a good solid effort.

Summary Iridion II is a great-looking shoot-'em-up that borrows many of its play nuances from the classics of yesteryear.
