    With plenty of colorful backgrounds and charming protagonists and antagonists -- which are weapons and targets in Angry Birds -- it's one of the funnest, most varied iOS games.

    Simply genius. This is the best game available for the iPhone, and it's a steal at 99 cents. It would be stupid not to get it. There is so much content to play. I'm not even a third of the way through it, because there's an update every month with more free levels.

    Angry Birds is a fantastic App for Apple Products! The levels are complex enough to keep you interested using basic physics to create a brilliantly witty arcade game.

The general plot of this app is that some weird deformed green pigs have stolen all of your eggs and its up to you the birds too seek them out from under their shelters, destroy them and reclaim your eggs. Yes I'm serious! I'll quickly run you through the general birds; Red- These birds are the general birds you are first confronted with to wreak havoc. Next are Yellow- These birds are most effective against wooden shelters as with one tap on your screen they boost forward giving them extra power. Then there is Blue- These little fellows explode into 3 when the screen is tapped most effective against glass. Next there are Big fat black ones- These birds can either explode in mid-air by a tap of the screen or they can sink marginlly into a surface and explode on their own. White Birds- drop explosive eggs onto the surface from above! Last but certainly not least is the Giant Red Birds- These guys annihilate multiple surfaces and destroy a lot of birds you normally only get one a level. The worlds are lovely and colorful and a blast to play on! An amazing app which will go down in history not to mention that they release new levels all of the time and even some for movie release IE; Angry Birds Rio definetley a must buy!!… Expand

    I rarely play games but am a serious Angry Birds player (I currently rate in the top 5%!). I got hooked trying to get through levels and then discovered that you can get more points by working for three stars and 100% eagle destruction. My grandkids come to me to help them through a level and buy me Angry Birds t-shirts!

    I think Angry Birds lives up to the hype. I was late getting the game and only downloaded it because of some persistent friends. Like any other medium of entertainment, I usually don't expect a game to live up to the hype but Angry Birds did. The graphics and sounds mirror the game-play: clean, smart and high quality.

    Angry Birds is the poster child of your typical app store game.

    It's truly a great game with a lot of challenge. The physics are usually precise, but sometimes, it does feel there is a random luck factor involved.

    This is Rovio's best though, and you can't beat the original.    … Expand

    A fun yet simple game that I have been playing for a long time now, for me it almost never gets boring, until you finish all the levels that is. There is only one IAP, which only costs something like 50p, which is a permanent purchase too!

    This game is a legend. It was she who gave impetus to the rapid development of mobile gaming. Yes, there are minor problems, but they are excusable. Given the current situation among developers, I really hope that Rovio will return the classics to the app stores.

    For someone who grew up with this series of games when I was younger Angry Birds defenetly deserves its spot as one of the best mobile games ever made to mankind. In this review I will be talking about the main parts of the game and how it holds up in 2022.

In this review I will be talking about the main parts of the game and how it holds up in 2022.

    Angry Birds is a really easy game to understand once you get down to the core mechanics of the game. What you do is put your finger on the bird and pull back the slingshot and try aiming for the right spot to "pop" the pigs and destroy their structures. Its just a very simple concept for everyone to understand but at the same time has some death to it too. As well as the simple main mechanic of the game their are also different birds that all have unique abilities to use different strategies to win the level. overall the core gameplay is great.

    Now I should also probably touch on the simple yet interesting story. The angry birds are protecting their yet to be hatched eggs on piggy island. but of course their is a huge population of evil green pigs that want to get and eat the birds eggs. So the pigs steal the eggs from the birds and now the birds are angry and go through multiple levels destroying the pigs structures and eventually getting their eggs back at the end of each chapter.

    Alright my final category for reviewing this classic mobile game is to talk about the completest aspect of this game. In the current version of the game their are around 500 levels to complete in my knowledge and each level you can earn up to three starts which if you want to get three stars in every single level in the game then you are going to have to grind huge amounts of hours just to do that. As well as the notorious three stars there are also golden eggs scattered throughout the different chapters and act as sort bonus levels for you to complete. But based on my excperance with all of that I HIGHLY do not recommend causally trying to 100% complete this game to its limit.

    So in conclusion, Angry Birds Classic is defenetly a mobile classic that you should try out as least some point in your life. Unfortunately this game and many others in the series have been discontinued from the app store and google play store in recent times. but if you have an android or just a normal PC then you can get the original game from other people online.
    So my final score for Angry Birds Classic is 90%    … Expand

    IOS/mobile game are breaking the handheld reputation in this generation very hard , now you don't see kid/adults playing with DS( even the 3DS) and PSP this days. I'm surprised of the big grown mobile consoles are getting . Anyway so where was I, ah yeah , Angry Birds , a quirky tittle that will usually hook you up and play it until your mobile handheld explodes .

    Because of games like Angry Birds, I now love those physic-based puzzle games. Flinging different types of birds at structures to destroy pigs is fun, and some of the later levels really require some hefty strategy.

    Its addictive for some, but I see why some hate it. Birds can be unlocked with different abilities such as Blue Birds turn into three different ones, Black Birds explode and White Birds drop Egg Bombs. Some Levels are yes, hard, but The Might Eagle is something in the game that takes an hour to charge and clears the whole level. So Angry Birds... its Good.

    Why does it get a 6.2? This is why it's a bad idea to change scores for games. This is a really fun game. A bit random but fun. You are the birds who must retrieve your eggs from the hungry green pigs. It's an awesome tower defence game, highly recommended. And I don't care what you say, I think the movie looks good. For a video game movie anyway.

    There really isn't a goal in Angry Birds, but that's okay because the goal is the objective of the game. In any way, a story that'll forever be remembered and Angry Birds will be one pain to misery while you're having fun playing Angry Birds!

    Uno de mis videojuegos favoritos en celulares. Bastante infravalorado la verdad. Este juego tiene una respetable cantidad de niveles, cosa que aumenta mucho su duración, sumado a que se pueden volver a jugar para obtener mas estrellas. Muy adictivo! Solo tienes que mirar un gameplay y descargarlo para ver lo adictivo que puede llegar a ser.

    Angry Birds didn't become one of the most popular titles in the App Store for nothing. It's a very simple, physics-based formula, but it's a lot deeper than one might think. Strategic, rich thanks to the different types of birds to throw, blocks to shatter, and pigs to destroy in the process, Angry Birds may puzzle your brain a lot more than expected at first if you want to get all three stars for each level. And its price is as low as ever for hundreds of levels of fun. A definitive must-have of the App Store and Android Market.
