The Angry Birds take on Darth Vader
Angry Birds Star Wars is an officially licensed Star Wars-themed game that brings together the famous birds and characters from the movies, including Darth Vader, C3PO, and R2D2. It is the second space adventure for the Angry Birds, following Angry Birds Space. The game retains the physics-based gameplay of its predecessor, but introduces new special abilities such as the use of the force and wielding a lightsaber.
Fans of the original movie, "A New Hope," will appreciate the attention to detail in Angry Birds Star Wars. The game takes players to iconic locations like Tatooine, Hoth, and the Pig Star (modeled after the Death Star). The Angry Birds are dressed as Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Han Solo, while the piggies take on the appearance of stormtroopers and tuskan raiders.
With its glorious recreation of the Star Wars universe, complete with music from the original score, Angry Birds Star Wars is the best-presented version of the game series so far. However, despite the interesting additional gameplay elements, the game can feel repetitive and frustrating at times, which may deter players who are not already fans of the Angry Birds franchise.
