Quotes from ONM’s Kid Icarus: Uprising review
Kid Icarus: Uprising received a 91% score in the latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine. That’s all fine and dandy, but what the did magazine actually write in its review?
Although we don’t have the full verdict, you can find a few select quotes below.
“remarkably beautiful game”.
“stunning to behold, in fact, a visual masterpiece on 3DS that routinely surprises with impressive, expansive and detailed sprawling landscapes”.
“rich fantasy world” which has been “teased from the abstract visuals of an 8-bit NES game”
“The single player campaign is huge, for a start, and it sits alongside two full-featured local and online multiplayer modes [offering] countless equippable weapons and powers that work across both.”
“it takes perseverance to comfortably wrap your paws around the game’s on-foot sections … it’s intuitive enough once mastered”.
“(foot sections are) spectacular, self-contained arenas”.
“(there is a weapons store) from which you can purchase new armaments and you can fuse weapons”, mini-achievements, and a scalable risk-versus-reward difficulty system.
“[It feels far bigger than the console upon which it appears, it’s deeper than most home console titles and more content-packed than any other 3DS game yet released. Pit might’ve been sorry to keep us waiting, but this was a wait worth every second.”
