Angry Birds
Rovio
The most popular application on the market- but is it overrated?
If you walked up to someone who doesn't own an apple device, and asked them name one app from the app store, 9 of 10 times that answer would be "Angry Birds". Angry birds- is Apple's Mario.
In case you were born under a rock and have never heard of angry birds, it is a massively popular game available on many phones and ipod touches. In the hundreds of levels of birds, you launch different types of "Birds" at the "pigs" forts, with your objective to destroy all the pigs with the amount of birds provided. Not as easy as it might sound. There are various types of birds- one that drops a bomb, one that splits into three birds, one that explodes on contact, and a few others. The levels progressively get harder, and some seem impossible.
The difficulty of this game can be so intense, you'll probably scream aloud a few times in the first few minutes. Even those who dash to Youtube at every level will still find difficultly. The restart level button will become your best friend, and if it counted the number of times you pressed it- the number wouldn't exist.
Angry birds provides an addicting challenge, but it isn't as satisfying as you might think. The level system works like this; there are several episodes (currently 6) and each contains three worlds. Each world contains 15-20 levels, so it will be awhile before you find yourself tackling the challenge of getting 3 stars on every level. So that gives you about 305 levels of madness.
Angry birds is a unique, addictive mix of a puzzler and plat former- and the word "Angry" defiantly belongs in the title.
Final Score-
8.9-Great
Just below incredible
