Gravity bubbles and slingshot effect introduced in “Angry Birds Space” is used a lot in the new game. The levels and playing style are the same as have previously been used – point and fling. While the actual game will always remain about the same, the new theme and abilities made the game seem fresh. The well-known Star Wars characters look pretty cute in the form of round little birds, and the creatures’ new abilities are congruent to their new characters.
Han Solo/yellow bird can fire three pinpoint blaster rounds. The Obi-Wan Kenobi/bomb bird can push piles of blocks where the player wants. The red bird is no longer a lame duck, but rather Luke Skywalker equipped with a lightsaber that slices through obstacles. The pigs, of course, are dressed as Darth Vader or Stormtroopers, while the birds are the protagonists. The birds and swine have even gotten a makeover as different characters from the movies. The clever references and visuals will tease a chuckle out of any “Star Wars” fan. The makers have cleverly adapted the game with a “Star Wars” theme, even loosely following the progression of the original 1977 film. And while we already expect every game to be more or less the same as the previous, this time the feathery fellows are combined with another pop-culture hit.

I never felt good at slinging birds I just coasted along through my entire playthrough, much like the Angry Birds series has over the past several years.“Angry Birds Star Wars” is a fun new addition to the Angry Birds family. There’s honestly no sense of accomplishment throughout the game. I had little to no fun playing through the game, and definitely not enough to go back and play through its numerous samey levels to try and get a higher score or unlock the game’s many inane collectibles.

It’s all about simple trial and error - not skill. The Angry Birds series as a whole lacks nuance, and Angry Birds Star Wars is no different. Occasionally the game would change things up with new, but it never did something that ever warranted the ridiculous 50 dollar pricetag. Occasionally you’ll make that perfect hit that wipes the screen of pigs and feel a small sense of satisfaction, but that feeling is fleeting, and all you’re left with is bland, repetitive gameplay. With the PS4, players can use the Dualshock 4’s touchpad to control the slingshot’s trajectory, but it’s extremely finicky and I stuck to using the analog stick for the entirety of my playtime. Overall the mechanics work well and I never found myself blaming poor physics for my lack of fun. Without these small additions, the game could just be called “Angry Birds Space.” Oh wait, they already did that.
Obi Wan Kenobi uses the force to push obstacles and enemy pigs with catastrophic force, Luke can use a lightsaber to destroy anything in his way, and a few other cast members make appearances as well. There are a few Star Wars themed gameplay elements that add a little variety to the stagnant gameplay.
Can two of the most overused brands of all time coming together spell any good for either series?Īs far as gameplay goes, don’t expect the formula to change. This simple formula has earned the series spin-offs upon spin-offs, the most recent of which is Angry Birds Star Wars. You throw birds, kill pigs, and earn stars. It’s easy to learn and satisfying in a very direct way. If you’ve been living under a rock, Angry Birds is arguably the series that tore the gaming world wide-open to casual players.
