One thing I've been seeing bad about the game is the controls, anyone whos played it want to confirm that?
You'd be better off addressing Jendo specifically, I don't think the rest of us have played it yet.

that would have been nice to know -_-

The controls seem fine for Right-Handed people, but for Left-Handed people [which I am], it's kind of hard to do some stuff.

You can change the controls [which is a very good feature], but still, it has problems for Left-Handed people.

For example, I can't aim and control Pit at the same time [unless I use my right thumb, but I don't like that feel], however, a Right-Handed person should have no trouble with this.

The control issue is why I haven't played much of the game yet [besides schoolwork], I'm going to buy that second control stick attachment or whatever it's called for the 3DS. I think that will solve my problem.

Overall it does seem like a very good game. And because it seems so great I am REALLY looking forward to SSB4, but that's off-topic, so I wont go on. :3

Because I don't have it. -_-

At the time Mac seemed to be the only other person besides Jendo that had the game, and he hadn't played it yet. So there you go.

After playing it for most of the weekend, I can officially say it's a great game that I've had lots of fun with ^_^

The controls do take some time getting used to. The air battles automatically feel very smooth but the first time you do a land battle, it will most likely have you swivelling the stylus around madly. However, I can assure you that once you get used to the camera and start fighting more strategically, it won't feel so random and confusing. I'm right-handed though so I can't speak for lefties. The special stand that it comes with does help with comfort but it's not necessary. I've played it perfectly fine with and without the stand. The 3D is amazingly good and strongly recommended. Especially for the air battles *_*

The dialogue is hilarious, Pit often breaks the forth wall with lines like ("Cool! So it's like a video-game! It's almost as if I can feel the controller in my hands...!") as well as references to Nintendo which I thought was very cheesy but cool XD

The music is ahhhh...frickin' amazing! I plugged in my PC speakers and it was definitely worth it. Almost every level I've played so far has epic music.

One of my favourite things about the game are the weapons. There's soooo many different types of weapons to try out and you can fuse them together to create even stronger ones. Experimenting with all the varieties has never been more fun, as they all have different properties, special effects and sounds. My personal favourite at the moment is the flame claws that have +poison damage and extra range :'D

I think the game has a lot of replay value, as you can go back to any of the previous levels at any time and redo them if you want to grind for hearts (currency) and valuable weapons/treasure. You can also adjust the difficulty before each level too.

I'm just rambling on now so I'm gonna stop XD All in all it's a great game. The controls may take a while to get used to, especially the camera for the land battles, and there's a LOT of talking (though I love the funny banter between the characters so it's not so much of a downside for me haha).

You know what the perfect solution for this is? Become ambidextrous.

I'm on chapter 18 now. Really enjoying the story. So many achievements to get ahh!

I also ordered a load of extra Kid Icarus AR cards from Club Nintendo since I think they're pretty cool (especially when they fight!)

Every new card you 'scan' it adds some extra hearts to your game ^_^ and when you point the cards at each other, you can see them fight! It even shows their stats and stuff :b

Anywho, I've finally finished story mode (I stayed up all night tonight) and it was amazingly epic. I loved every bit of it. I've also never laughed so hard at a game in a long time. Hilarious!

Now gonna attempt to replay the levels on higher difficulty/grind hearts while searching for my perfect weapon! Oh and try and get all the achievements too.

I haven't used my AR cards too much, (not entirely sure where they are now), but these look quite interesting.
