It’s been a while since we last saw a Kid Icarus title, which is a shame because the little angel archer was one of the original Nintendo characters of the old school, and certainly deserved his own adventures. So along comes his chance to shine, Kid Icarus Uprising, for the Nintendo 3DS, but was it worth the wait? 1UP has the story.
The game is broken up into flying and ground sections, which seems a strange choice. You’d think a platforming hero with wings would be more into a mobility game, with double and triple jumps and a shooter feel.
