![]() The inclusion of blaster toting Pigtroopers or gun emplacements brings an interesting timing element into play. The newest and most interesting thing to be added to the AB formula is a heavier emphasis on strategy. As usual, obtaining three stars in any given level will either be the most time consuming part of this game or the least, depending on how much you care about that sort of thing. You’ll never feel like you’re playing the same level twice (unless you’re replaying levels!) and frustration will set in from time to time thanks to the physics. These two characters alone feel overpowering, but the levels increase in difficultly accordingly.Ĭombining the series usual physic puzzles with the gravity based gameplay of Angry Birds Space, there’s tons of variety in levels and their difficulty. The Kenobi bird has a Force push, which you direct, instead of random explosions in the other iterations, making him a rather powerful character. Now the simple swipe of the screen causes the red bird to ignite his blade, cutting through material or Imperial/Sandpeople Piggies. He quickly meets Old Ben Bomb Bird Kenobi (say that five times fast), who gives Luke a lightsaber. In the end, you don’t really play an AB game for the story, so its lack here is foforgivable because the gameplay is what really matters.Įverything starts off simple, with poor little Red Bird Luke blindly launching himself into danger without any real powers or purpose. In a series where progression doesn’t really matter, this was a great little inclusion most people will miss. The backgrounds represent new areas, like moving from the Jundland Wastes to Mos Eisely or being inside the Death Star’s docking bay to flying down the trench run. Also, and I don’t know if I missed this in previous iterations, but there’s an actual sense of progression. There are a handful of comic panel cutscenes that recreate famous moments, which are both funny and neat, but they’re underutilized. Everything, from the music to the characters, is both AB and SW, and they fit together like a well-oiled contraption.īeginning on Tatooine, the story (if you can call it that) rather roughly follows the films. That fear was laid to rest once I booted up the game and saw the developers at Rovio handled the Angry Birds-ifing of Star Wars with love and respect. ![]() It all screamed “cash-grab!” and I wasn’t particularly enthused. My fears for this crossover started with the plush toy line, the ball shaped waist costumes, and the other merchandising efforts first appearing as rumors swirled.

Find out all these answers and more as I run down the reasons Angry Birds Star Wars is the best of the series. Having played (not always to completion) the original all the way to Space, my feelings were mixed upon the Star Wars edition’s announcement. Much like Tetris on my calculator in high school, I soon couldn’t go without at least one Angry Birds on my phone. As I spent more time on my smartphone, I decided giving the series a shot probably wouldn’t be such a bad idea. ![]() I didn’t understand its appeal or why I’d want to waste my time with a little mobile game when I could be playing the newest Uncharted game.
