![]() I’ve found it to be just as enjoyable as dragging a finger or stylus across a touch screen, if not more so! Other controls like zooming are mapped well too, and any failure can be chalked up solely to the player. ![]() The Star Wars atmosphere is very well represented, and has made this my favorite Angry Birds game!Ĭontrol is well handled, and the Wiimote makes for a satisfying and unique means to fling the birds across screen. Amusing cut scenes move the story along and they’ll make you smile and laugh. The music is great (no real surprise) and the Star Wars sound effects score big as well. The visuals are colorful and crisp, with fun little details for series fans. The Star Wars locations are real fun, from the opening Tatooine levels as you move towards Mos Eisley spaceport, then into space (where you have to learn successful navigation of gravity fields) and beyond. Luke dons a lightsaber, Han has his blaster, Obi-Wan uses the force, etc … The challenge comes from timing these abilities just right (often I would activate Obi-Wans force abilities too early) Hearing a pig Darth Vader mockingly laugh at you is a good motivator to replay levels, as is earning all three stars, and gaining unlockable content. The Star Wars license was the big draw for me! With birds based on series leads Luke, Han, and Chewbacca (who looks hysterical!) and other popular characters like Obi-Wan, C-3PO, and R2-D2, there’s plenty to have fun with, and each have abilities true to their source. Series fans will surely enjoy this Star Wars entry, while newbies might consider this as an introduction to the series, as long as they can get over the price difference that consoles have over mobile devices. After many releases, it’s clear Rovio Entertainment has polished their craft, refining the games over several popular releases. Physics, hit detection, and overall feel remain steady, and aren’t prone to strange fluctuations or glitch like changes. One of the main things I appreciate about Angry Birds is the consistency in gameplay. Given the large installed base coupled with a lack of quality releases in 2013, I wouldn’t be surprised if this version proved to be the most popular. While the HD visuals of the Wii U had appeal, as did the portability found with the 3DS, I ended up going with the Wii version. The addition of Star Wars made this release especially appealing to me! I debated about which version of the game to review. While I’m not as big of a fan of the games as some, I do appreciate the accessible fun they offer, and the polish they’ve grown to show. After playing a recent clone of sub par quality, it felt good to return to an Angry Birds game proper.
