Anybody who has played the original Kid Icarus for NES will have no problem just picking this game up and start playing it. It looks and plays almost exactly like the first one. You are Pit and you are on a mission to save Angel land. You must find three treasures on your journey through 12 levels. First 3 climbing levels, then 3 side-scrolling ones and finally another 3 climbing stages. After every 3 levels you must clear a dungeon with a boss. Defeating the boss will get you one of the treasures. Like mentioned before, this is just like in the original NES game. After completing all 12 stages there is a final level where you will be able to use the three treasures. At the end of this final stage you will battle the last boss. The game has had a few minor changes from the original. Apart from the "wineglass" that restores one box of energy there are also smaller "wineglasses" that restores only a fragment of that a box. These can be found by defeating enemies or destroying rocks with hammers. The hammers can be used at all times, not just in dungeons. With them you'll also be able to find hidden doors. There are no "helper-drones" in the dungeons this time. Instead, you'll smash statues to find "wineglasses", maps, torches or even enemies. Many enemies will be familiar and there are also a lot of new ones. The game plays wonderfully and any fan of the original Kid Icarus will simply love it. It’s fairly easy and my guess is that you’ll spend less than 10 hours on completing it.
