Okay. Wow. I took advantage of the 30 dollar price point at Best Buy and went ahead and picked Uprising up, despite knowing I won't really be able to dig into it for a few weeks.
Only played the first two chapters, so far, but my immediate first impression: Totally pleased. Yes, there are some niggling disappointments - the genre being the most obvious, though I've had over a year to get over that. But it doesn't really matter. Uprising, so far, feels like a worthwhile, fun, exciting, new Kid Icarus game that's just chock full of options. As far as I'm concerned, the series is back.
So far, I like the patter between Palutena and Pit, too. (Though I'm not as crazy about the "Pow-lu-Tayna" pronunciation, though I suppose I'll get used to it.) That was the thing I was really concerned about, that Pit would be as annoying as recent Sonic. No problem so far.
Really really relieved and pleased. I hope my excitement just grows. |

Really fun, really weird, really awesome. I played the first chapter twice (once on the default, then at 5.0) and the second chapter at 4.0. The game really clicked with me somewhere along the way and now I don't have much of a problem at all with the controls that I did at E3. Surprisingly, the stand works quite well, even when I'm in my default 3DS playing position (lying on my tummy in bed). It takes the weight off the hands and lets the player just focus on the stylus and controls. Great idea for a pack-in!
I also dig all the really unusual design decisions such as the slightly randomized pack-in cards, the totally arbitrary "give hearts to the Goddess" feature, the funky art style throughout all the menus (hey, it's SSBB/Kirby Air Ride again, but with angels)...oh, and the banter. Not to be that guy, but I TOLD YOU BRO, I TOLD YOU THE DIALOGUE IN THIS GAME WAS GREAT. Nobody believes the Bun! But really, this has gotta be my favorite voice acting in a Nintendo-developed title ever (yeah yeah, big accomplishment). Pit's cheekiness, mild respect and youthful energy really create a fun and compelling protagonist that could've easily been annoying with worse localization, and he and Palutena's characters play off each other ridiculously well. Even the new character introduced in the second stage (that many were fearing would mess with the game's feel) ends up fitting in perfectly fine, with plenty of his own amusing lines and a good personality to bounce off the main duo. I'm actually a little worried about doing Kid Icarus comics because the characters are already so amusing themselves!
So yeah, very pleased so far with all the content packed in the game and the roller coaster ride that is the levels themselves. I think I agree with Zero on the air portions being the most enjoyable, but I think the on-foot stuff complements it really well and gives it a little bit of exploration to boot. It may not be the Kid Icarus sequel we were expecting, but it's a very fine game in its own right and may even surpass the original in quality when all is said and done. |
