If our
recent review of Kid
Icarus Uprising for the Nintendo
3DS, we praised a great deal of elements in the game. From gorgeous
visuals to a plethora of features and options, Kid Icarus is one of the
heftiest portable packages in a long time. Maybe it’s this wealth of
content that contributed to the game’s major flaw: it’s just plain
uncomfortable to play. Uprising forces you to contort your hands into
foreign positions in order to navigate the relatively complex
interface. But despite this discomfort, the game still inspired us to
press on and play through the pain. This got us thinking of some other
moments in our gaming history that have left us battered, bruised, but
still wanting more.
