Welcome to “Backhanded Box Quotes”, a collection of super pissed-off user reviews from people just like you! Whoa, whoa, don’t take that personally.
This week, Backhanded Box Quotes wrangles with the disappointment faced by diehard Kid Icarus fans upon the arrival of their long-awaited sequel — and an appeal for calm and reason by someone who sounds suspiciously like a company ringer.
Kid Icarus Uprising
Released: March 23
Critic: solidandrew (Metacritic).
• “Okay boys, here’s the real lowdown on Kid Icarus: it sucks!”
• “[An] embarrassment to Sakurai’s name”
• “[Leaves] me worrying about the next Smash Brothers”
Critic: Reggie (Metacritic. Or is it this Reggie?)
• “Don’t listen to the biased Nintendo haters that rate every game a 0 because they’re jealous”

I Am Alive
Released: March 7
Critic: yigalzr (Metacritic).
