Angry Birds Star Wars - Goods And Bads

The latest addition to Rovio’s Angry Birds franchise is a mash-up of previous Angry Birds games with a Star Wars theme where the birds and pigs are the movie characters.

Good Stuff: 9.5/10

The cut-scenes between levels show the Star Wars story which prevents players feeling helplessly thrown into the game.

The game has new movie-themed powers which perform differently. Some powers unlock only at later levels such as the Red ‘Luke’ Bird’s Lightsaber.

The levels offer more challenge with some having laser turrets and blaster-wielding pigs.

The same challenge of beating personal high scores and aiming for 3-Star rankings for all levels stays fun and engaging.

A set number of stars obtained unlock bonuses and rewards.

Bad Stuff: 0.5/10

The need of zooming out to view the whole level prevents players from watching pigs destroyed up-close.

Rating: 9.0/10

The mix of Angry Birds and Star Wars makes the old game formula feel fresh and gives a different gameplay experience than its predecessors.
