Unfortunately, the game isn't universal, so you'll have to shell out another $0.99 for the full iPhone version, but at least there are a few free versions available to try things out too. The PS3 version offers more than 100 levels of action and includes new competitive and co-op multiplayer modes. If you're absolutely dying to play, $0.99 isn't a lot to ask, and the truly hardcore won't bat an eyelash about spending another $1.99 for Dagobah right away, but personally, I've played enough Angry Birds that waiting for a $0.99 drop and the Hoth content update seems more reasonable. The birds have a variety of new abilities, allowing them to slice through obstacles with a Lightsaber, fire three shots from a blaster, or clear small areas using the Force. Even for those of us that are jaded with either family, Angry Birds Star Wars maintains the undeniable charm that Rovio has become well-known for. The cross-licensing going on here may be a bit too much brand whoring for some, but if Star Wars and Angry Birds have anything in common, it's that they still have hardcore fans after being merchandised to hell and back. Levels are interspersed with comic-style Angry Birds versions of Star Wars events, which are always good for a chuckle. With cache, you'll have under 150 MB of storage gobbled up by Angry Birds Star Wars. The blaster fire sound will immediately cause pangs of nostalgia for those that lived through the Star Wars hay-day.Īlthough the graphics are still as 2D as ever, there's a nice foreground and background perspective effects, and all of the textures are sharp and well-done. The hollow speaker-borne voices of Stormtroopers are a lot less menacing when they're relaying pig oinks and snorts. Hearing a the Star Wars theme, still full of orchestral polish, but with a slightly off-kilter, goofy tilt is an interesting experience to say the least. The audio is particularly interesting because it's such a mash-up of extremely familiar effects and music. Generally speaking, Rovio is pretty good with the free content updates, so if you're able to sit tight for awhile (maybe by catching up with the other Angry Birds games), no doubt you'll have more Star Wars fun soon. Depending how long it takes for the Hoth update to come out, Angry Birds fans will likely have enough to chew on for now, especially if they're gunning for three-starring the whole lot. The next update to Angry Birds Star Wars will feature levels on Hoth, leaving players with Tattooine, the Death Star, and ten bonus levels are unlocked individually - 90 levels all told.
