So after 25 years after defeating Medusa, she went from looking like this...
Into this
Okay. Anyways...
Kid Icarus Uprising is a very fluid game. There are a lot of content on it, and I mean enough to keep you playing for hours...the insane amount of unlockables in it, even after beating the game, you still wont fully complete it 
First, the one thing people always look for these days are the Graphics
which rather piss me off
since it's not about graphics, it's about gameplay, but I'll go into that more later 
. The graphics are very nice considering how far the 3DS can go regarding visual effects, the 3D really does help with telling the depth of how far your enemies are, but if your eyes get disoriented easily, then turn the 3D off, but so far I have no problem playing it like thatNow for Game play
. The game play mechanics are pretty simple. There are air battles
Air battles has a more star fox 64 mechanic, basically Palutena controls where you fly and all you have to do is shoot and dodge, pretty simple.
And land battles
Land battles focus more on a beat'em up style, you can walk around,if your close enough, you use melee combos to attack, while in a distance, you shoot
One thing, in this game, if you haven't already seen the trailer for the game, the characters talk a lot in this game, they talk almost all the time, it can be distracting, but it's not something you can't ignore, or at the very least it shouldn't be too troublesome.
The game play is smooth and very easy to get used to. The intensity level or the Fiends cauldron can act as a difficulty measure, the more hearts you wager, the more enemies and the harder they get, but you pay lots of hearts which act like currency in the game to increase the level's difficulty level, if you die, you lose the amount you give. As for it's multiplayer, it's pretty much the same, but I'll get to that soon
Now for Controls
The controls for the game tend to be hard. There are three basic controls, which uses the left circle pad to move, the touchscreen to move the retractile, and L button to shoot. While it sounds simple enough, it can be hard to control. Overall the controls are tricky, but adjusting to it won't take too long if played enough times
Time for the Music
The music in this game is simply fantastic. Some I would say even deserve to be considered to be one of Nintendo's finest. Not much to say, but listen to this.

I think Nintendo nailed it when it comes to BGM, nicely done
Multiplayer
The Multiplayer is simply fantastic, even in online play, the frame rate doesn't seem to slow down enough to piss off players as it plays almost completely smoothly, at least for me it is
. The online battles can be fierce so you always have to watch your back, you earn hearts for each match you do, but you can also earn some power ups and weapons. There are two modes, Light vs Dark and Free for All. Light vs Dark works like a team based battle, there are three in each team, kill as many enemies as you can from the opposing team. Sometime later, a health bar that represents the teams overall life at toe bottom of the screen shortens, when it's gone, the last enemy killed will become the angel for their team, defeat the angel, and whatever teams angel dies first looses.
In Free for All, it's pretty self explanatory, you fight for your own, you kill the most, you win, simple as that.
My score in this game...
9.5 out of 10
The only bad side is the controls, but if you have a circle pad pro, then this can be a perfect 10 out of 10 game for me.
