Synopsis

Synopsis
Soar through the air and engage in intense combat on the ground when you pop in the nonstop, action-packed thrill ride of Kid Icarus: Uprising. For the first time on your Nintendo 3DS, Kid Icarus comes to life and pushes the limits of your handheld system by putting nearly all of its features to use. Take off into the sky for exciting air battles and fight it out on land using the intuitive touch controls. The controls may be easy to pick up, but they also offer incredible depth and challenge for advanced maneuvers. Plus, with an arsenal of dozens of available weapons, you'll be able to attack from a distance and up close. Get ready to spread your wings and take off for adventure.

Kid Icarus: Uprising brings the action and adventure of the original Kid Icarus to new heights and stunning new visual dimensions on the Nintendo 3DS. Begin each stage with an initial air battle, and continue the fight with ground-based skirmishes with intuitive touch controls. Collect dozens of weapons as you progress through this sprawling adventure, noting each weapon's characteristics that differ in abilities for ranged and melee attacks. Team up with friends — or fight amongst each other — in fun multiplayer modes for up to six players. Simple controls, AR-card compatibility, a fascinating storyline and more await. Are you ready to take flight?

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Nintendo 3DS (24 out of 26)
New wind in the wings of a classic game!
5
Posted by: from Savannah,GA on 05/06/2013After years of being out of sight and out of mind, Kid Icarus has been Uprisen with new wind under his wings! It's a fantastic new game, developed by the creator of Kirby and best known for the Smash Bros franchise. Uprising has an amazing mix of game play, story-line, unlockables, weapon crafting, online multiplayer, and AR cards support! You get a lot of value for your money, especially since straight out of the box you get some bonuses with the game. Each game includes AR cards, so you can experience the AR gameplay that sets the cards head to head. You also get a stand which can help to counter some of the issues people have with the control scheme. Overall, this game is truly worth your time and money!

Awkward Gameplay

Posted by: from PA on 04/13/2013This has to be one of the most awkard control schemas I've ever seen. I can't even play it, it gets tossed in the collection, though I'll keep the stand around.

The game is great for all ages.

Posted by: from on 04/13/2013The game is great for all ages. It has simple controls and can be played with multiple people. It brings me back to the old NES version with better graphics and better controls. Although still hard to control sometimes, it is simple enough for most people to play.

Posted by: from Conway, AR on 01/27/2013My 9 year old enjoys the game, but I bought it for my 13 year old. He beat it in about 40 hours.

Great Gameplay with an Amusing Storyline
5
Posted by: from Pittsburgh, PA on 01/20/2013All in all, Kid Icarus is a great game that I would recommend to all 3DS owners. The controls can get a bit frustrating at times as it can be hard to maneuver the camera, but you slowly get used to it more or less and it ultimately does not hinder the overall experience. The storyline and dialogue is pretty hilarious and over the top. Love the game!
