I voted tolerable. I love the game, but....so far, for the last couple days, my relationship with this game has been like my relationship with that Rooster Chili sauce. You know, the sauce you see at asian restaraunts and markets, big clear bottle, green cap, with a rooster picture on it?
I love that Rooster chili sauce. It is so good when it first hits my tongue. It makes almost all food better. It's great. At first.
But 30 minutes after my meal, my stomach starts to ache. Then that ache starts moving along my digestive track. And a few hours later, I'm on the toilet, and it does not feel good. The exact opposite of good. Very very bad.
And the same with Kid Icarus Uprising's controls The feel fine at first. Perfectly fine. But after 15 minutes, I'm playing the on-foot portion of the level, and I'm pulling off side dashes on the circle pad like a madman. Then I start to feel a crimp in my left thumb. Not pain. More like an ache.
A normal person would have stopped playing this game. I would have stopped playing this game if not for the fact that it is so freakin' good. So much fun, so addictive. I'm not finished with the game yet. I've just beat 2 chapters (though I've put 3 solid hours into the game!). I feel like I'm in college and playing Starfox 64 again for the first time.
So, like the Rooster Chili Sauce, I will tolerate a very unpleasant aspect of the game, because the good stuff is just so damn good.
