It might be a good game. If you like playing through a set story with clear objectives it is great.
It is a bad Kid Icarus game. They shouldn't have used him for it, and people who liked the NES game for its exploration or lack of narrative will not find these qualities in Uprising.
The concern with Uprising is that, because it did sell a million, all future Kid Icarus games will be made like it instead of like the NES game. Much like how 3D Mario replaced 2D Mario during N64 and Gamecube, fans of the earlier titles see games released of their series in name only.
The solution is to acknowledge they are different series and try to make both. Sakurai instead called it the successor to the original and hasn't saidanything like that.
