Lets begin!!! *clearing throat*
SO this game takes place 25 years after the original Kid Icarus on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), and all of the story is told to you within the very first level of the game. The character you control is Pit and he serves Lady Palutena who sends you out on your missions.
The controls do take a while to get use to them but it works. The game also supports the circle pad pro which is good for left handed people, but there is also a "left handed controls feature" in the game who don't own a circle pad pro which is a nice touch because the developers put that into consideration.
The game play is very fun and highly addicting. The levels are chapters and broken into 2 stages each. The first stage will be in the air where Pit is flying to the destination that Lady Palutena is guiding him to. You will be shooting enemies along the way. Then in the second stage, you are on the ground and you work your way up to the boss.
Now the game does support the 3d functionality but I personally don't use it in this game simply because it doesn't really need it. The game looks wonderful without it, plus it (at times) gave me a headache when I would move out of the "sweet spot" to see the full 3d effect.
Single player is fun and great on its own merits and so is the multiplayer. You gain new abilities/weapons through both the multiplayer and the single player campaign. So whatever you get from multiplayer, you can use it in single player and vice versa. You can also fuse two different weapons to create a brand new one! Just be careful though because once you fuse 2 weapons, they are gone (unless you buy them in the shop or earn them). There is two modes to play which are: "Light VS. Dark" and "Free for all."
Light vs Dark is simply team deathmatch but with a twist. It is a 3 on 3 match and you share (what looks like to me) a health bar that depletes when you or your teammates get eliminated. Let me clarify, you have your own health bar and once you get killed or destoryed or eliminated, then the team's bar depletes. You come back to life so it's not a one life type of game. Also the more powerful your weapon is, the faster the team's bar depletes. Once it does, the last person that died turns into Pit or Dark Pit, depending on what team you are on. Then from there you must protect your Pit from being eliminated or go after the enemy's Pit. Free for all is just you against (I believe its) 4 other people so make sure you watch your back!
This game is definitely worth getting because you will enjoy it, plus it comes with a holding stand and some AR cards which is really neat! If I had to give it a score, I'd give it an 8/10 only because I was hoping there would be more game modes for multiplayer. Maybe something like capture the flag except they are wings instead of flags or a game mode where you go out to save your Pit from the enemy team I dont know something like that :)
Anyway hope you enjoyed reading this and have an awesome day!!! :)
