Kid Icarus Uprising review: Uplifting
Kid Icarus: Uprising for 3DS is more than the return of a long-dormant Nintendo franchise; it’s effectively the birth of a new franchise that feels nothing like anything else in Nintendo’s lineup. It’s fresh, exciting, funny, and has the ability to be customized deeply to the player’s interest and comfort level.
It is, in short, an excellent game. And it’s one I almost didn’t bother to play, because — to put it charitably — its controls are a barrier to entry that is uncharacteristic for Nintendo. To put it bluntly, the controls are uncomfortable and hard to get used to. Nintendo is aware of this, hence the stand. I was fully ready to write the game off based on the controls, if only it weren’t so consistently awesome in every other way.Gallery: Kid Icarus: Uprising (1/19/12)Continue reading Kid Icarus Uprising review: UpliftingKid Icarus Uprising review: Uplifting originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:00:00 EST.
