Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan, Princess Leia, and even Tie Fighter pilots are given the bird makeover. ![]() Instead of birds that are simply varied in color and shape, each winged creature is now an Angry Birds-ified version of a Star Wars character. And it’s this love that allows the game to feel fresh and new, despite adhering to those same mechanical foundations that players have grown accustomed to, or for some, bored with. Top to bottom, everything about this game screams passion for the beloved film franchise. That is exactly why it’s so incredible just how far a new coat of Star Wars paint can go in keeping the experience from feeling instantly stale. The game is mechanically an amalgamation of the various Angry Birds games that have come before, specifically utilizing many of the gravity mechanics found in Angry Birds Space, so players are likely to have seen much of what it has to offer. The first thing that jumps out is the developer’s obvious love for the films and for the Star Wars universe. Now, moving on.Īngry Birds Star Wars’ transition to the big screen and big machines is mostly a successful one. So, stating the obvious: There is no amount of exclusive levels, multiplayer modes, or special features, short of George Lucas himself hand-delivering every copy sold of the game, that would make Angry Birds Star Wars a good buy at $50. Normally, price doesn't factor into a review since money carries different value to everyone, but the asking price here is so ludicrous that it had to be mentioned. That is an immensely bitter pill to swallow for even the most ardent fan of either franchise. As in, forty-seven to forty-nine more dollars than it costs to play this game on any other smartphone or tablet. On the other hand, the PS4 and Xbox One versions of this game cost $50. On one hand, it is absolutely the same game that millions of fans have spent countless hours on, flinging their fine feathered friends at smugly grinning swine. The already popular mobile game has found its way onto both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but is this jump to hyperspace a smooth one, or is this not the game we are looking for? Read on to find out.Īngry Birds Star Wars is a strange beast indeed. Combining the two would theoretically create an avalanche of awesome no mere mortal could handle - at least, that's what Rovio Entertainment and Lucasarts thought in throwning their hats into the next-gen ring by doing just that with Angry Birds Star Wars. When considering the biggest pop-culture phenomena of the last few decades however, many would argue that Star Wars sits atop that list. Big or small, it still looks awesome.When considering the most well known pop-culture phenomena of the past few years, not many have had the massive impact that Angry Birds has. I wish there was something to give me a sense of size for this cake. I think it looks big but for all I know it could be just a few inches tall. This awesome Chewbacca bird cake was created by Mike’s Amazing Cakes and I think they did a fantastic job with it! My only complaint is there I have no real grasp of its size because there really isn’t something I can compare it too. Well, since what I think would be good for the game will probably never happen, I guess I will just salivate over this awesome Chewbacca bird cake instead. I think that would make for some interesting game play. The only thing that I think would make the game better is if you had the option to play as the Empire too. It doesn’t feel quite as difficult as some of the other Angry Birds games can be which is nice from a frustration point of view but I also prefer the birds special abilities compared to the other games. ![]() Of all of the Angry Birds games (which I play almost all of them daily), I think the Star Wars version is my favorite.
