- More than anything, Kid Icarus: Uprising's dense replay value comes from its inventive approach to difficulty. You can’t lose at Uprising, but you'll never gain all the glory unless you up the Intensity. You bet hearts (the in-game currency) at the start of each chapter, risking more based on how high you set the bar.
Henry Gilbert · Aug 07, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The multiplayer is enjoyable, gives you practice, and lets you gain weapons you can actually use in the singleplayer game, but it'll probably be something you check out after you've finished with the singleplayer. Kid Icarus: Uprising is a fun game with endearingly cheesy dialogue and characters, but the setup of the levels can get a little monotonous. If you're looking for a new 3DS gameKid Icarus: Uprising is definitely worth a try.
Jodie Smith · Apr 12, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - It's hard to find much to complain about in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The game looks and sounds very good, but the pixels are extremely noticeable and the music score, while rekindling some classic themes, lacks a certain epic quality. However, with so much packed into this highly touted adventure, the cartridge's forty-dollar price point will no doubt be deemed money well-spent.
Sean Engemann · Mar 26, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - And there have been so many next times. I cannot stop diving back into Kid Icarus: Uprising's levels, pushing the intensity to irresponsible extremes to bolster my haul. It's partially because of my own need to attain statistical perfection in games that allow me to do so. More than that, though, it's because I'm in love with what's become of the Kid Icarus franchise.
Griffin McElroy · Mar 25, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Overall, Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS is a fun, entertaining game with plenty to offer in terms of variety and replay value. It is a visually stunning game and the sound is top notch as the dialogue is easily one of the more comical highlights of the game. While the game’s controls could have been refined a little, the fact remains Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS is an excellent game that 3DS owners can purchase with confidence.
Ippon · Mar 23, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Kid Icarus Uprising is a fantastic game full of superb action, stunning graphics and art design, incredible music (truly some of Nintendo's best), humorous dialogue and solid gameplay. Despite that, it suffers from an equal number of problems, including some very frustrating and awkward controls, a fairly repetitive level structure, characters that talk too much and action that sometimes overwhelms the 3DS's relatively small screen.
Richard George · Mar 23, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - There's still the occasional maneuverability foible, but once you get to grips with a control scheme that suits you, these are few and far between. It's one of the best-looking 3DS games to date, with some fantastic 3D visuals that are used particularly well to convey depth in the flight sequences. Endearing, enjoyable, and brimming with content, Kid Icarus: Uprising is a loving homage to Nintendo's heritage.
Ashton Raze · Mar 23, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Kid Icarus is back, then, and it turns out we did miss him. With Uprising, those Internet petitioners finally have something they can be proud of.
Edge Staff · Mar 23, 2012 Reviewed on 3DS - A triumphant return for a forgotten hero; a dazzling, silly, beautiful adventure that mostly, but never completely, overcomes its control woes.
Chris Schilling · Mar 23, 2012 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Kid Icarus: Uprising stumbles a bit due to its uncompromising control scheme that puts just a few too many hurdles in the way of your enjoyment.
