Pros
Pro Worthwhile reboot of a 25 year old franchise
The last real game staring Pit from Kid Icarus was 25 years ago for the NES. Uprising is a new beginning for the game and is done quite well. The gameplay is fun and the story is good, to see a successful reboot of such an old game does not happen that often and is great to see for such a beloved game character.
Cons
Con Lacking polish in some areas
The controls can be difficult at times due to having to use the circle pad and a stylus as the same time. There are also segments that have quite a lot of banter that is not integral to the gameplay that breaks up the flow of the game. On top of all of this the level design can be repetitive, while a good game overall these small issues can take away from the experience.
