The gameplay is fun, I guess? Maybe? It's always hysterical when the pigs go flying towards the screen.
However there is something about this game that feels dirty. Aka, I can smell the stench of modern corporate mobile gaming from a mile away.
The game gets bonus points tho because this song actually SLAPS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpjNIXnKRUk
Also where did my boy Colonel Pig go?

Sometimes the level design is so hard it makes me want to tear my hair out. But messing around in the various sand boxes were my shit when I was young and it's still fun to this day.
Usually spin off games like this suck so hard but they managed to create a unique vehicle builder game with the BAD PIGGIES of all peeps. I mad respect this one.

The best Angry Birds game by a landslide, no other game comes close in my opinion.
I mean yeah they could have done something more interesting with Bomb, Terrence and the Blues instead of just keeping their same abilities considering how Chuck got some cool upgrades but the new gravity planet style more than makes up for it. The new icy bird is pretty poggers too.
The music in this one unironically slaps too? And the updates had actually effort put into them? I swear they didn't have to go so hard with the Mirror Worlds update to produce so many new levels but they did anyway. I could tell a lot of passion went into this despite it being a fucking Angry Birds game.
The bosses in this one are really fun to the point where I retry the levels a couple of times to see if I can beat them in different ways.
If you can pick this game up despite it being not available anymore then I'd fully recommend it.

This was the mega OG and was a solid 7/10 until they decided to ruin it with an update that tries to get you to spend more money on sweet sweet micro transactions.
Hopefully when they bring this back to the app store, they will remove that stupid update that made it ten times worse.
If reviewing this before said update, it's Angry Birds what more do you expect? It was a prime example, when it came out, to what mobile games should be: simple, fun experiences instead of micro transaction traps.

(I speak for the Arcade version of this as that is where a majority of my time has been spent, the other two games will be reviewed at some point separately)
This is a prime example of what a rail shooter should be:
- Fast action whilst not being unfair. I will admit sometimes it attempts to catch you off guard but in comparison to rail shooter games nowadays, it's nothing.
- Enemies keep on coming instead of making you wait ten years like Time Crisis 5 does. TC5 also had a problem with too many cutscenes making the games pacing really weird but that's not the case here.
- A fully interactive environment. Since this game uses a fully automatic machine gun, you really feel like you are causing major destruction because almost everything in the surrounding area can be damaged/destroyed.
- Differing sections where you use a different weapon (E.g. Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher) to spice up the gameplay but not too gimmicky to the point where it's obnoxious.
- Not amazing but decent writing. Dialogue repeats sometimes which is annoying ("GOOD WORK ALPHA 1!!! YOU'RE LIKE A MACHINE ALPHA 2!!!!") but the characters are distinct and likable to enough keep you engaged. Time Crisis, and many other rail shooters as a matter of fact, aren't needed in the story department. All I am saying here is that the writing isn't cringe like Time Crisis 5.
- Oh yeah and the soundtrack SLAPS.

It's kinda fun at first and satisfying if you pull off the right strategy but this game also legit relies on luck, and even if you beat the bs wave they throw at you the game just straight up admits "NOPE! We don't want you winning!!!"
Why is there so much trash in the arcade these days? What happened to just putting in a coin then having some quick fun for a short time?
