    An infuriating test of trajectory skills and patience that will have you swearing, strooping and (perhaps most unbelievably of all) bloody well enjoying it. [Spring 2011, p.113]

    So, if you have picked up Angry Birds on your mobile device, the PS3/PSP version does not offer anything new. Regardless of what system you play Angry Birds on, it is proof that simple, puzzle games can have AAA gameplay.

    For $3.99, how can you afford not to find out why over 50 million people have downloaded Angry Birds?

    Owners of the original won't find any new gameplay levels, but they might enjoy the precise analog-based input the PSP and PS3 sticks provide.

    Angry Birds is addictive, whether on PSP or not. It's funny and simple and a skill game for the whole family.

    Angry Birds, also in the Minis version, is a great puzzle game. Unfortunately some problems with the graphics engine, and its high price compared to the version for iPhone, make the best edition for Apple platforms. However, the title product by Chillingo is back again with a good and enjoyable porting.

    In PS3, this is not going to be be the hit it has achieved to become in movile phones, but it retains its fun and entertainment, and offers lots of hours of fun for an affordable price.

    If you haven't experienced Angry Birds, want to and don't have an iPhone/iPod, then you won't be disappointed with this edition of the game.

    There's no denying that Angry Birds is fun, but it could use polish -- such as sharper visuals, a better price and smoother action. It's one of those games I could play for a few hours on a plane or obsess over on my couch.

    The 200 or so levels will eat up a solid chunk of your gaming time and is very addictive to the casual gamer.

    Angry Birds on the PSP is one really annoying bug away from being a fun game.

    An enjoyable puzzler, but a haphazard port. Big shame. [Mar 2011, p.96]

    Controls are everything. This Iphone classic has been totally destroyed in its conversion to Playstation 3, where the controls don't work.

I purchased it to play on the PS3 hoping for a glorious HD version to be enjoyed on a large screen. Boy was I disappointed. While it is still a fun game, the graphics are pixelated and the default view is zoomed in- zooming out involves pressing L1 and R1 simultaneously, which you have to keep pressed to maintain that view. This is a mediocre port offering sub-par graphics, no settings menu and really nothing new as compared to the mobile version. I know this is supposed to be a "Mini" game but 'cmon guys, when I play this on the PS3 it basically feels like I'm holding a magnifying glass over my iPhone.… Full Review »

    Let me start by saying I really like Angry Birds (the original as well as Rio, Seasons, Star Wars and Space). Now I bought it for the PS3. TheLet me start by saying I really like Angry Birds (the original as well as Rio, Seasons, Star Wars and Space). Now I bought it for the PS3. The port itself is OK, the sticks are a bit tricky to use at the beginning, but it is not too bad. Graphics are just horrible. I expected some HD textures for the PS3, but I think the iPad version is much sharper. But definitely the worst flaw of this game would be the fact that there are only 4 worlds, while the iOS version already has 8. Still, this version is more expensive. Why? Not because of the textures.

    If you have an Android/iOS device, play it on that. Don't get this silly version. Still, it is playable, so if you don't have Android/iOS you can think of buying this.    … Full Review »
