We know, we know: since it first hit phones in 2009, Angry Birds has grown to a Minions-esque level of overexposure, and it’s hard to blame anyone who’s gotten sick of them in that time. But under the astronomical popularity and multimedia blitz is a really terrific little mobile game that holds up pretty well.
It’s a bit strange to call this year’s iteration Angry Birds 2, since it’s actually the fifteenth game in Rovio’s hit franchise. But this is the one they’ve dubbed the sequel, and it adds some interesting new twists to the original slingshot-birds-into-pig-fortresses formula. There are new birds to use, with crazy new special abilities, and multi-stage levels that span multiple screens.
And there’s still something insanely satisfying about lining up the perfect shot with the bomb bird. I love that guy.
