    Audiovisualmente explota la consola, pero no es todo lo divertido ni cómodo que debería ser.

    Very bizarre experience from our lord and savior Masahiro Sakurai.

    Gameplay: It might sound rough and hard but it is very daring for 3DS games. It is certainly rough at first, but when you get the hang of it, it is the best gameplay available on the 3DS. You can select difficulty to fit your match. Many customization weapons/ skills and play styles. The possibility is endless.

There will be point in game that you felt like how is this possible on 3DS? It is too good to be true.

    Story: Humorous and amazing. Every character and story are quite good and memorable. Making goddess into anime character is one of the best thing ever. It is very fun story and dialogue along the way. It might be rough to catch up as you have to separate the eye and ear when fighting monster and listening to talking at the same time. But story is very great which make the game not too tense. Many twist and turn. Pit, Palutena, Viridi, Dark Pit and more have their own character which are just so shining.

    Overall: This is a must play game on 3DS. It is not a game, it is an experience. The quality is AAA and so perfect in every way possible    … Expand

    A must play for the 3DS. With so many levels, funny voice acting, and amazingly unique bosses, this game is amazing, and will keep anyone entertained for hours. But be warned, the camera controls could cause some problems without the circle pad pro.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like pretty much everything about the game except the controls. In my eyes the game should've been on the wii instead due to the controls. It can feel alittle uncomfortable but everything else about the game is great. I love the story to the game. It's really funny and it happens during the levels too which is a big plus. Hades is a great villain too who appears 2/3 through the game. The combat is way better than the NES and gameboy titles. It's funny how they bring references from the older game too. Lastly the game looks beautiful for a 3ds game but would've looked even better on wii.… Expand

    I loved this game. The characters are funny and memorable. The world is fun to learn about and personally I enjoy mythology. I enjoyed the controls but they were a barrier to many. Overall I think this is one of the defining 3ds titles that cemented my love for the system.

    The game gets repetitive. The dialogue is funny and probably the best part of the game. However every level is mostly the same formula and some of them have puzzles when you fight on the ground, but it’s not fun on a 3.5 inch screen. Maybe I would’ve liked it more on an XL console. I could only play 1-2 chapters a night. I pretty much forced myself to complete this title because i spentThe game gets repetitive. The dialogue is funny and probably the best part of the game.

However I have no desire to replay levels on harder intensities or grind for items.

    Your hands will cramp and this isn’t a game you can play laying down. It’s also not for left handed people as you can only aim Pitt’s shots with your right hand.    … Expand

    Este juego tiene alguno de los personajes maravillosos y elaborados de toda la historia de Nintendo, tienen un gameplay que para la consola es una forma muy ingeniosa de sobrepasar las limitaciones de la consola.

    La unica gran falla de este juego es la dificultad inicial de adaptarse a los controles que al principio entumiran tus manos y las dejaran bastante cansadas, pero despues de un par de horas tus manos se acostumbran y la experiencia se vuelve casi perfecta. Espero con ansias un remake para la Nintendo Switch    … Expand

    Despite the atrocity of the controls, the game looks BEAUTIFUL on the handheld that it is on.

    Con todo esto dicho el mejor juego de 3DS.    … Expand

    No doubt in my mind, 3DS owners should have Kid Icarus: Uprising in their library of games, especially if action games are a favorite.

    Nintendo magic strikes again, if you can adapt to the controls. [June 2012, p.68]

    Kid Icarus: Uprising is an underdog tale: how an action game can be thoroughly enjoyable even when it suffers from some severe control problems. [May 2012]
