Amazing soundtrack, fun gameplay, lots to do.
To start this all off, I just want to say that I am IN LOVE with the soundtrack for this game. The music is extremely well done. When I first picked up this game, I was a bit skeptical to be honest. I had heard that people do not like the controls, saying that they are too buggy. After playing it for a couple hours, I can say that I have gotten plenty used to the controls. I do agree they were a bit odd at first (touchy), but after adjusting the settings (sensitivity, stop speed, etc), I have no problem playing the game at all. The gameplay itself is awesome. I do enjoy Air battles more than Land battles, but that's just me. I really like how many different weapons there are, and that you can pick the ones that fit your playstyle. I have not played much multiplayer yet, but it looks like it will be a lot of fun, with the ability to earn weapons to take back to the solo play mode. The inclusion of some side minigames was a good idea too. I enjoy the “treasure hunt” system, giving you a sort of “achievement” and reward system. I also really like the “Fiend’s Cauldron”, allowing you to adjust the difficulty (scaling the rewards with it). Some people complain about the graphics of this game, but it doesn’t bother me. The visuals are engaging enough that I don’t realize any imperfections people like to point out. The dialog is also quite entertaining, causing me to actually laugh out loud a couple times. It seems like the game will have quite a bit of lasting appeal with the inclusion of a multiplayer mode, and with the ability to hunt down powerful weapons. If you were like me and were a bit on the fence about getting this game, don’t be. Just go out, get it, and enjoy the heck out of it!

WORTH IT!!!
This game is one of the best in the 3DS library. First of all, the control is great and if you are left handed you can get a circle pad pro for twenty bucks. Second, the story mode and multiplayer really kept me playing and wanting more. I really felt that you could like the characters and that they had lots of personality. The game has a variety of weapons, and you can customize your character in multiplayer. This has to be my favorite 3DS game yet. If you don't have this game, what are you waiting for?! P.S. , Nintendo should release a DLC for this game...

Wasnt sure at first but i love this game!
I finally got a 3DS three years after they had came out. I have always been a nintendo fan and grew up with my SNES and N64 before going off to the handhelds. Since then ive been a handheld nintendo fan! I did not have any games for my 3DS as i had some DS games but one day i strolled down to Gamestop to look for some used games. I talked with one of the employees who seemed fairly nice. I picked up Pokemon Rumble Blast and also Kid Icarus caught my eye. I knew of Pit from Smash Brothers but did not know (until i played the game) this was based of a 80s game! He promised me that i would love it and if not to give him a call and he would help me find another game i would enjoy. Four months later? Im totally addicted to this game! I love how cute Pit is, and defeating Medusa and Hades. Trying to get up in the higher difficulties and love how there are other places to explore and mini-bosses to beat when your difficulty is higher. Gives each level another reason to explore! 10/10 for this game!

Wingless Hero
KI:U is the perfect 3DS before Luigi's Mansion. A Package containing a holder, Ar Cards, and a download code! Plot is A Little twisted, And the dialogue would make me put my name on all 3 files.118 weapons in all of the game. 12 in each category. 9 categories. The only thing that bothered me was the unlocking to acquire a weapon. But otherwise, A Good edition to your collection.

A very sophisticated game
Well to put it in brief terms: You have the fully orchestrated sound track, the insane gameplay difficulty that would make it implicatively a rated M game.. I mean with the level of violence.ha ha! But with a story that is full of Greek mythology ( HUGE FAN) it becomes a interesting tale that takes humorous and incredible turns. But aside from that I praise this work for having great content and similar setup to Smash Bros brawl which was what I immediately noticed the first time I played the game. I lot of content to make you say "I will try this again" or "eeeyeah I will come back to this". It challenged me until I became frustrated.With it's provoking gameplay you can only appreciate it only after you complained to yourself how unfair the Reaper's Hideout was. I can say more but I said enough. This has to be one of the most valuable titles to have on the 3ds.

The 3ds' Killer App
This game is the reason to have a 3ds. Kid Icarus:Uprising is Fun, exciting, and actually has some serious plot twists. This game has Single and Multiplayer and performs well without lag. That with Ar cards, spotpass and streetpass options, make this the reason to have a 3ds. If you're on the fence about this game, get off of the fence and go buy it. It's the 3ds' killer app and I loved every second of this game.

Over 20 chapters of awesomenes!
Collect over 40 weapons. Use powers like explosion flame and the mega laser. And the ar card mode is great even with 6 cards.
