KID ICARUS

After delivering two old school sidescrolling action platformers on the NES an the Game Boy, Kid Icarus fell into a deep, long slumber. When it returned with its third instalment more than two decades later, it was completely changed. Instead of a platformer, it was now a third person shooter, with a huge chunk of the game playing as an on-rails shooter- and as anyone who’s played it would tell you, it was absolutely incredible.
