Game: Angry Birds Star Wars - Business as usual.

May the bird be with you....

First of all I'm not a very big Angry Bird fan. It's nice game as it is but just too simple for me. Pointing and shooting just does not take you very far... If you are older than 5 years...

Anyhow I decided to give this a try. I downloaded the game from iTunes store on my iPad 2 with a prize of a coffee cup or two. My budget can just cope with that...

On with the game

I have some earlier versions of AB on my phone and iPad so I was surprised of the fact that this version of the game was somewhat harder to play than the previous ones. The view over the "battleground" was too tight by default and zooming left the slingshot too near to the left edge of the field. This again causes accidental shots when the finger slips over the edge of the screen. 

The game experience otherwise is similar with the other AB's. You basically point and shoot. The Star Wars theme brings some nice perks in it but is it enough? Well with this prize yes it is. And some of the levels are pretty tough if you aim for the full stars.

Beware of the mammal side in you...

 

AB is a very good business to the Rovio I recon. A simple and very addictive game.... With a dark side. To my understanding the Rovio's privacy policy states that they reserve the right to collect "non-personal" data as they wish. They should at least ask weather it's OK during the first use or something...

So if you can cope with the mild breach of privacy this is worth of your money.
