Story: Basically, the plot to KIU is that Medusa... More

When Kid Icarus's angelic boy wonder Pit returned to relevancy in Super Smash Bros Brawl, a new entry in the Nintendo cult classic series was widely predicted. Now that long anticipated sequel has finally arrived on the Nintendo 3DS and proves that long waits, even one two decades long, are well... More

With strong titles like Super Mario 3D Land, and the re-release of the classic Ocarina of Time, Nintendo's 3DS has been struggling to really bring a "fresh" title to the handheld. So why not revive a hibernating title like Kid Icarus? The original Kid Icarus was a challenging title on the... More

I disagree with the controls "problem" from the review. It does hurt to hold the system with your non-dominant hand, but after a few hours of gameplay I found that it was much easier to hold the system and that the control scheme used makes more sense than any normal control scheme. Land battles... More

Of course I expected no less from GI a poor review based on an excellent game, by a guy who cant get into the information age despite working at its core. Nintendo has always innovated new ways to game, and have been successful 95% of the time. If i could get my discount at Gamestop any other way, believe... More

Kid Icarus: Uprising. The name of this game that nearly got me killed in my early days as a blogger here as Game Informer. Since I'm going to update all my previous reviews, I've decided to re-work and update this review. When Kid Icarus: Uprising, was released some time back earlier this year... More

Despite how much I would love to start this review with the phrase "When I was your age," I... can't. Though I was alive during the 80's, I actually never owned an NES, and never heard of the game Kid Icarus until Smash Brothers Brawl was announced several years ago. Upon hearing about... More

My first review on GI! I just got the game, and saw the review, and was somewhat disappointed with the GI reviewers intense focus on the controls, which aren't even a new idea. Concept: Shoot the bad guys, while not getting shot yourself. Simple enough. Graphics: Phenomenal for a handheld, LOOKS... More

When the 3DS was announced, Kid Icarus: Uprising was one of the first games Nintendo showed off on it's new system. The gameplay reminded me of Star Fox 64 and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor (both great Nintendo games), the graphics were above and beyond anything I had seen on a handheld, and... More

I was crazy excited about the game. It was the first game I saw on the 3ds I really wanted. I got it on launch day and popped it into the 3ds. I may agree that the controls aren't regular ,but I only got a small ache from playing hours on end. I love the story. At level ten you will have killed medusa... More

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a piece of true art. The orchestrated soundtrack is perfectly integrated into the setup of each level, making it a very immersive experience. The voice acting and script are flawless, making the game humorous but (gladly) not based entirely on comedy. In fact, this is a bit strange... More

Kid Icarus: Uprising is the newest Nintendo title to be released on the 3DS. After reading many reviews for the game, I was a bit reluctant to buy this game. Yeah they were fairly good reviews, but they weren't reviews that lived up to the hype the game has been getting for the past 2 years since... More
