I love angry birds and I always have. Me and my dad would play it together when I was little. But Rovio could change a few things. First thing, it’s pay to win. Black pearls are hard to get for hats unless your a good player, but to be a good player you have to buy hats with black pearls. Then along with everybody who plays the game, I don’t want to wait a half hour to play again if I lose my hearts. It is very clear Rovio is trying to take your money, but maybe I would spend it if you let me play the game well without spending money. Now, I know I have said a lot of things, but this will not stop me from playing this game. Overall very good game. I love angry birds and I always have okay, for real for real. Also, when are you going to come out with the new angry birds game I took a servey about to see what I would like in a new game. It’s okay if you take a while to make it, I’ve waited years for another game, but I’m dying for AB game baby! And I would also like if you could find a way to make another Angry Birds movie, it would be awesome! Other than all the things I said up top, (I’m still gonna give you 5 stars) AB2 is a great game. don’t stop making great entertainment Rovio! Love you Rovio, keep doing what your doing!

Genuinely Fun

This game is amazing. I’m finally able to play it after 5 years it due to getting a new iPad, since the last one didn’t support the required version of the game. 1 star ratings are more and more common for the reviews of this app due to it “being pay to win” and stuff like that, which is just overreacting. This game is a little more or a grind than other Angry Birds games, which is completely fine. People don’t realize that Rovio needs to make money off of the game, and proceed to say it is bad for that reason. Don’t take their word, and know this is a game you won’t regret downloading. This game isn’t perfect, like all others, having small bugs like certain power ups not working (like the golden ducks), but other than that, there’s really nothing wrong with this game. And if any other people reading this are about to make a 1 star review that all of the Angry Birds games are gone, and it’s Rovio’s fault, don’t and just be patient. Also, I’m sorry if all of these thoughts are jumbled up, I tried to simplify things and I didn’t read it over because I’m lazy, so it might not make sense.

Fun, but a lot of downgrades from the original

Who created this game? So many problems I have compared that weren’t present in the original. First of all, the heart system is absolutely awful, this game gets hard in the later levels, so having to wait twenty minutes after failing a few times for just one more chance before waiting another twenty minutes is just atrocious. Also why is there clans in this game? Literally no reason to have clans in this type of game. It’s very clear they were just added because people like online features in games. My biggest gripe is with the way the levels go. You have your cards randomized at the start of each level, which is pretty annoying but I would let go if not for the fact that there are several different randomized layouts for the same section on the same level. It makes it so you can’t learn the ins and outs of a certain section, because it could be different every time, this combined with the randomized cards at the start can make some levels over before they even begin which is completely out of your control. I also hate how the birds feel a lot weaker compared to how they felt in the first one, blue birds in this game is complexity useless, and yellow birds aren’t much better. The only birds who are truly good are the bomb bird and the big red bird. The gameplay at its core is still fun like the original, but is plagued by all the issues this game has.

Sad state of the “mobile game” industry

I don’t know if this is a major studio doing a cash grab or just the state of mobile gaming, but either way it’s disappointing. Rovio recently re-released the first Angry Birds game under their new “classics” line for the original price of a dollar, and I had an insane amount of fun with that- it was easy to see why the game became a hit in the first place. Since all the other angry birds games have been pulled from the app store, I figured this one is next to try. What a complete 180! This game is nothing but a monetized, ad-riddled mess. There are a few interesting twists, like picking the order you throw the birds and getting bonus birds for good scores, but everything else seems designed to strip away strategy and push micro transactions. I can’t even play two levels in a row without the game giving me an ad or trying to sell me some of the half dozen currencies that will make my birds stronger or let me buy hats or lord knows what else. I’m uninstalling after less than a couple hours. I don’t see what the fun in playing a game that so desperately wants to milk your for money can be. The original Angry Birds was an amazing venture into looking at what kinds of games can be designed for a mobile device to play easily in quick bursts. This game (and I struggle to even call it that) is nothing but a sad reflection on what could have been a decade later.

Very Bad

This game is bad on so many levels, so here’s all of them. Starting off this game is ‘freemium’ which means that ads play after almost every level and there’s optional rewards/other incentives for watching them, which wouldn’t be so bad if the original was nothing like that. Two, it promotes gambling with loot boxes and an actual casino mini game that is essentially all or nothing, something that was also absent from most of the previous games. Thirdly, they are almost certainly stealing your data. Four, the game size is absolutely ridiculous with how much space updates can take up. Five, the heart system where if you fail a level you lose on of six hearts and when you’re all out you can’t play unless you watch an ad or wait 30 minutes. Last, but certainly no least, the levels are randomized as the structures you are meant to destroy can be completely different even when you replay the exact same level. In other games in the series each and every level is unique, but in this one they were too lazy so they decided to just randomize it. I loved the original and several of the other games as well, and I spent hours playing them, but this is just sad. If you want a good game, then buy the original. It is leagues better than this money grab. It actually has care put into it. And maybe if you download that game instead Rovio and the dev team will start making good games again.

Fun game, glitchy

The game itself is mostly fun (a bit frustrating when stuck but not enough to make it unplayable). Progression can be done without pay to play but would be faster if you’re willing to pay. I’d probably give it at least 4 stars if not five, if it weren’t for the glitches combined with poor customer support. Some of the glitches can actually be fun, like when a tower starts to fall before you fire, or more rarely when a bird manages to fly to the next level from the previous one. The more annoying glitches can be quite frustrating, such as birds firing before you release, scores not being recorded in competitions, and not getting rewards after watching a video. To a degree, so glitches are expected and what can make or break a game is the customers support, which is the biggest fault I’ve found in the game. I had a support ticket closed with a reply or reason, which is fairly rude. I had another support ticket in which the customer service rep replied telling me it’s a connection problem on my end and a lot of people are currently experiencing them. I tried to explain to the rep that I had connection with the server and supplied what I thought was decent evidence. He never replied, the glitch, specifically in the great eagle trading camp continued to happen. After a week of being ignored, I deleted the game. Hope this helps

Good game, has its moments…

This is a good game, don’t get me wrong, but it has more bad things than good. I’ve loved angry birds since I was a baby, but this one just isn’t my favorite. First of all, and this might be a common opinion, but there are SO many ads. Occasionally, they’ll take you straight to the App Store even if you don’t tap it, and that is so agitating. Another thing is randomizing the bird cards at the beginning of each level, and in some cases, the layout for each level changes too. Later on in the game the levels get harder and harder and it would be nice to have a set-in-stone way to beat each level rather than getting lucky some day. Rovio has made a shuffle deck feature to change this problem but even then you have to rely on luck. (This next one is gonna trigger me the most) Remember in angry birds 1 when you got to retry a level as many times as you needed? Well now you only get five tries and when you run out, you have to wait about 25 minutes to get one try and for all the retries, you have to wait an hour or 2. overall, angry birds 2 has more bad thing than good, but there are small good things that are just outweighed by the bad things. I’m not gonna discourage you from getting this game, you just might want to take this review as a warning. And Rovio, if you’re listening to this, please fix the retry system.

IAP-Hungry Solid Sequel

Angry birds 2 has got a fresh polish to be expected from a sequel. It answers the “how can we possibly make a great game better?” question in several ways. The graphics are rich and flow smoothly between all transitions. The levels evolve and progress in difficulty but encourage you to think critically and creatively. Defeating level after level is rewarding and builds you up for the next level. The multiplayer modes involving clans and competitive mode pit you against worthy opponents. Word of caution however, as there are the downsides. The app has its own pop-up encouraging you to buy into their in-app purchases. At my peak time in playing this game on a daily basis the app will encourage their in-app purchases around once an hour. What’s more is the ever-so-bothersome littering of advertisements of other games. The game even has an auto-jump to the App Store to encourage you to download another game app. While this is expected of less polished games this is rather a surprise of an established brand to have to use such tactics. Lastly, the levels do get repetitive and the “boss” battles lose their luster and become some sort of a sore level after awhile. Overall, if you don’t mind the ads and are in it to really squash those pigs then this is the right game to play. Swing away at a 3 out of 5 game.

Players: beware

There are glitches in this game that don’t get addressed. I did not receive feathers and apples. I contacted their help team on April 7th, April 14th, April 15th, and April 22nd. I just got a reply this morning, on May 8th, telling me to update my app and let them know if I was having any of these issues. Umm... the app requires you to update before you can get into it, so of course I updated. I wrote to you on multiple occasions about issues and you still want to know if this is happening? How about you figure it out and replenish feathers and apples I missed out on and move on. I have screenshots of the messages as well to prove this. I am about to delete this app, immediately after I write this review. This franchise has movie revenue, toy revenue, and this game with ad revenue. Their prices are ridiculously inflated, you have to watch ads even after you have spent money on the game, and they are too stingy to replenish 1,000 feathers. Like, really? Rovio is proving to be one of the greediest developers out there. I get trying to make money, but being greedy after you’ve already made a ton is so disappointing to see. Maybe you should learn from other apps during this time who are awarding their players with extra freebies and not inundating them with ads and pop ups. I think I’ll go play one of those games... and I will gladly give any extra money I decide to spend to them.

Absolutely Amazing

As a person who was born in 2010 which was the peak of angrybirds I obviously have nostalgia. Since I was younger I played all the angry birds games, Angry Birds 1, That one Angry Birds RPG, Angry Birds Star Wars, Bad Piggies and the list goes on. When I got my new iPad at the age of 10 Angry Birds 2 was one of the first games I got and it’s my favorite mobile game which may seem kinda weird judging that my favorite console game is Dark Souls. Now I’m 12 and I still love the game being that I was playing it before the notification to write a review came on. The pvp is amazing, the new features such as breeding are also cool, the level design in intuitive and the addition of bosses only makes gameplay better. The new birds are also cool same with the level up systems, upgrades, hats and more. The mechanic where you can get an extra bird card if you do good is also cool. I think this is peak ab andI think Rovio nailed it. My only feedback would be if you could add some characters from the angrybirds show. Also later on the gameplay is kinda repetitive so like perks and builds for birds could also be sick but that’s about it.

Mostly fun, but you’ll be angry (pun intended) at the game

Overall, if you’ve played any other angry birds games, you’ll get the generally same vibe here. It’s fun, a nice way to kill some time, and the animations and graphics are beautiful. But if you’ve ever played Mario Kart and know the general angry feeling you get when no matter what you do (or how skilled you are), the game just cheats to get the result it wants? Yup, get used to that here. For example, in battle arena you’ll be pitted against various other “people” (in reality it’s not so, just the computer). And perhaps you’ll be winning the round, when all of a sudden it gives your opponent 2-3 more birds to play than it gave you. There is no way you can win, but don’t fret, you can always buy some coins to try again. Another gripe: The levels change often, so if you’re stuck on one (and maybe want to try a different strategy to get through) the next time you play it changes. Not completely, and there seems to be only a few options for each level, but again, infuriating. Get used to watching ads too, as you’ll be bombarded constantly. I miss the old angry birds games, where you’d pay a few bucks and the game was just that. It’s too bad this company would rather milk their customers than entertain them.

Predatory business practices

This game has very predatory and cunning ways of ensuring the users who are free to play are cast aside and forced to wait egregiously long periods of time to access features, or make them pay for multiple items in order to play the game. The consistency of this monetization across the entire app will leave anyone who plays the game frustrated and stunned at the scale of pay walls within this app. It is disappointing that the greed of Rovio has consumed every facet of this game to the point it is at. Whether it be gems, apples, replays, or the lack of choice to view ads in order to have access to features that should inherently be free, this game seeks to force its players to spend money in order to enjoy it. Do anything but download this app. You will find the hardships and frustrations of the corporate greed from this app less tolerable than almost any other hobby you could replace it with. It makes me sad to see the corrupted and predatory practices that are used on AAA games be used to a more extreme degree in this. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, unless you want to waste time and money.

Addictive and entertaining, but small problem.

So I’ve been playing this game for a while and it’s amazing. One of the best games to pass the time, up until you’re out of hearts. My only issues are that when you run out of birds for a level and depending on luck for such. So let’s say I’m playing a level, on the last room and I fling my last bird. Most of the time, I just barely succeed. Other times, it’s either the bird misses completely or it forced me to pay gems just so the scene can play out even though the bird’s shot was perfect. I’ve wasted at least 180+ gems just to spare a few seconds for the scene to play out and it gets really annoying and agitating because I’ll be doing so well, only to be crushed by disappointment and frustration. And power ups and extra cards cost so many gems, it’s almost impossible to save up. Especially with the tower of fortune; I haven’t even made it past the 20th floor because the pig keeps catching me off guard. I’ve been robbed so much to the point of where I actually have to pick cards at a random pattern and hope I don’t get looted because it feels like a 8/10 chance of losing the rewards.

Absolutely insane game, and you can add a level editor!

This has to be by far the best game that I have ever played! It was such an upgrade from the original! The graphics are amazing, the birds are awesome, and it is for FREE! Can you believe that? And its gameplay is great, too, because it has 3400+ levels that you can play, but just one improvement will make your game absolutely phenomenal. Behold, a level editor! This would be an insane thing to add because you could make your own levels with however many rooms you want, the materials for the buildings, your theme, surroundings, and all those pigs! And you can even make your own boss levels! This is an absolutely amazing idea for your game and I would love for you to try it! Oh, and I wanted to remind you, there are just a few bugs that you need to fix. When I play the Daily Challenge if I exit it without completing it the sound effects are removed and you can only hear the music. Please fix that. Other than that, you took the time to make this great game that everyone loves.

Insidious

I complained at one point about how they game didn’t provide continued level-appropriate incentives and rewards as you got up higher. For instance, when completing “hard” levels you get a chest with feathers, but it’s the same chest with 250 or 300 feathers at game level 6 as it is at level 600. Yet when you get to level 600, you probably need 30,000 feathers to advance your birds. So getting 300 is irrelevant. This sort of imbalance seems like it would drive people away as they get higher. However, I realized that may be the point. Not to drive people away, but to make them bored and frustrated. What do bored and frustrated people do? They try to find ways to alleviate their boredom. And what alleviates boredom in this case? Getting rewards. And what’s a good way to be sure you get rewards? Buying gems to pay for success. So the fact they don’t keep the game advancing to keep people interested isn’t a bug, it’s a feature, to get them to pay. With that said, the game is still fun and addictive, for quite a while. I played it for months during the pandemic, and rarely felt the need to pay for gems. But recently I realized my boredom has been driving me to purchase more and more often. So now I’m uninstalling it.

Overall, a good game

Overall, it’s a good game. However, as all games this one has definitely got some faults. When a player invests money into a game, that player has a right to cry “foul” when the integrity of the game is questionable:( For those who are not familiar with this game, this may may seem confusing. However, one glaring example of this lack of integrity is in an intricate part of the game called “the arena”. Here, you are matched up with a (supposedly equal) opponent to earn stars. The problem is the game is obviously “rigged”. I play a pretty good game, but when an opponent with half the “flock power” beats you by sometimes ridiculously high scores, something is really, really wrong! In the natural flow of the game, you play one or two birds on each page. Doesn’t happen here! The opponents score goes up, but their birds are still in line. What happens is on the last page all the birds appear to play and rack up mathematically impossible scores!!! No way to monitor what’s really happening:( If the creators of this game would clean up this dirty rigging of scores, I’d give it a five star. One other thing, this game requires a lot of time to play. If you want a quick game to pass time, this isn’t for you.

Not Pleased with Everything...

I give it three stars simply because I do enjoy playing the game, however, it bothers me that I can't scroll through my entire deck. I should be able to see and choose any of my available cards at any time, whether it's my current hand or my spell cards. I like to choose the freeze and duck spells to use together because ducks can break ice a little easier. The way the cards are dealt, I don't always get to use this combination when I want to because one of my spells are back in the untouchable deck. My other complaint is that this game offers us packages of spells, gems and pearls for REAL MONEY!!! Seriously?! No one can earn redeemable coins for these perks? Heck, at the very least there should be a reward system for completing a chapter and it should be something really great. Not like 5 gems, 3 feathers or 10 pearls. Save your real cash money. I'm past level 180 and I got there without spending any additional money. This is like a gambling game. Don't fall for it. Oh, yeah! And Tower of Fortune? Never spend more than 20 gems to proceed. Pull the plug while you're ahead once you've seen one piggie. Now all that laughing those pigs do makes sense: they are laughing all the way to the real bank!

Love the game but missing something.

The game is amazing, 10/10 animations are amazing, levels are amazing… until they have like 10 level on them they are hard but still fun, like the bosses sometimes. Clans are a weird but cool take, and feels like a good way to interact with people online. The might eagle boot camp is cool although the shop is missing one item… and this is a little bias but I don’t see a pig moving animation icon. They have one of red, blues, silver but no weird cool pig like fire big the weird, rocket pig that had like no defense, or science pig oh science pig moving like with his weird potion bottle animation icon would be SOOO COOL. I need one NOW! And if Rovio even sees this review which I highly doubt, I want a moving pig animation (probably science pig moving his potion bottle) icon to buy at the might eagle shop. And some other suggestions could be rocket pig with his rockets shooting, the weird pig with the blue gun that attracts the birds with him?, minion pig, or heck a bird that’s getting flung to a pig! Okay this review has been looong enough and sorry for being bias. But I need pig moving icon.

My honest review

I like this game it’s a good call back to the original version and it’s done right. However not every game is perfect it comes with issues. The jump in difficulty seems a little unfair at times slowly start to get crazy don’t even get me started on Pigsenyland. You could restart but they will either required an ad or the stupid currency that is really hard to obtain and he wants to spend like thousands of dollars on it which I understand and I can’t get too mad about micro transactions because they’re optional but having a limited amount of ads to just get a free try again as well as the modern life system which I hate modern life systems which instead of feeling a level I’m running out of lives I have an restarting from that place you have to wait an obscene amount of time. I feel like some parts are incredibly RNG based which is annoying. However I do appreciate the new contact that it produces like bringing back previous birds or having a connection with the second movie. Final verdict it’s pretty solid it could definitely be better it gets a 8/10 for me

Nice game but wants to take your money

This game is great for the first few levels and then u realize how bad everything really is once you start going deeper in. Most levels are designed poorly where when you get stuck on a certain level or can take up a great amount of time to just complete that one level. Hearts is another thing where the game for some reason gives you 6 lives and if you lose 6 times on one level you can’t play anything in the game anymore basically until the hearts restock. Next the events are clearly for people that are level 50+ and if you are anything under that it’s very hard to play the events. There’s also a little gambling in the game which has nothing to do with skill and is based on pure luck but you can tell when they want you to get far and when they don’t in the mini game. Some boss levels are very poorly designed where no matter how many birds you have at the end sometimes you just can’t beat the boss because of the poor level design. This game is basically pay to play because to play as much as you want you need hearts and to buy hearts you need the game currency and to get that you have to either get through the achievements or just buy it which they clearly want you to do.

Angry birds

This app is my lifeline. I play it all day everyday and get anxiety when I don’t see the birds flying across my screen making wonderful noises. Those cute pigs popping on my screen. This game is my life and if I didn’t have it I would cry. I wish that everyone could see how truly wonderful this game is and enjoy it with me because it could change everyone’s lives for the better. It could almost end world hunger. It could end hunger if people could feed on the pure joy of those popping pigs it soothes the pain of being a loner because I never socialize this app is my everything I don’t know where I would be without angry birds 2 I’ve improved for the better I know longer swear and I now say things such as slap a sheep to sooth myself this app is everything I would give those birds the biggest smooch I could muster and even those pigs as well my heart hurts at the dying phone battery knowing that app and I may soon part I rush to the cable for my heart to shatter all in all this app is my everything

Freezing birdsssss

Okay so the game is nice; graphics and all. Actually I’ve been playing since last year so basically it’s been like a year. Although i lost my old phone last December n didn’t get to play for a while until January. Now, there’s this thing that happens esp when I’m playing in these tornaments; weekly challenge or king pig panic or any of the online part of the game, when i draw my bird to take a shot at the pigs, the slingshot goes back as normal but then it never releases the bird, it stays like for like seconds and when it eventually releases, the bird ends up using it’s power midway (where it’s not needed) or while on the sling shot or even goes backwards n i end up getting no shot at all, most of the time i lose almost alll my birds n still won’t get any shot successfully. It’s quite frustrating. Unless i press the powerbutton or home button, it doesn’t stop. That’s just like a major problem I noticed of recent. It wasn’t like that the other times so.. But overall, it’s fun playing. Smashing things n popping pigs lol. Hope you get it fixed pleaseeeee, thank you!

Too luck based

Honestly, when I downloaded this game I was excited and enjoyed it but as I kept on playing it got boring very quickly. This game is Completely luck based and p2w. First of all, the tower of fortune is stupid. It is pretty much impossible to win unless you pay gems to keep to on going after getting the pig card. And the only way to get enough gems to complete the tower of fortune is to buy them with real money. This game sets it up so you HAVE to pay money to progress. Unless you waste your money then this is pretty much pointless. Another flaw is the heart system. You lose your hearts to quickly and you have to wait or pay real money to get more. The arena ticket thing is dumb also because it makes you have to get arena tickets (which take a painfully long time to get) so that you can play in the arena. You can get rewards by your win streak but the rewards are pretty stupid and honestly not worth the effort. In order to complete the win streak you need 5 arena tickets and you have to win each one. This game is created by a bunch of money hungry developers. This game is supposed to be about skill and strategy! Not the money you put into it. Just don’t download the app and go do something better with your time.

They broke the game

I have played this game for many years and I love it so much! Unfortunately, in their latest update, they took away everything to love about it. Now it is much much much too difficult to complete without spending. Typically we can use spells which makes the game fun and interesting, they took that away. Typically our bootcamp and battles are long and epic, you could complete 15 rooms which was a challenge, but possible. Now it’s much to difficult, because we don’t get our cards back per destruction, only 1 allowed back per bird... so too much destruction by one bird and you are punished. Did I mention we don’t get any spells back anymore? We can only use them in the daily challenge and the map, which are just stupid places to use spells.. They make events and and hat adventures now that can’t be completed EVEN with spending gems to move forward. It was already a money grab, but this is much too blatant now. The angry birds 2 fan community has expressed our distain for this new update over and over again, but they don’t care. They gave us bandaid 100 arena tickets, like that would make everything better and make us forget they broke our favorite game. Many (pay to play) players are walking away, I hope their investors are paying attention.

Angry birds go way better than this

I’ve played a small bit of this game and from what I know too many ads it’s a mobile game so it’s all pay2win cash grab stuff but I feel like there’s a lot of way smaller rovid games that make it way more fun for no reason AT ALL wink wink for a instance or two angry birds go ridiculously less ads way more fun gameplay and game itself it’s small but a great pocket sized adventure however you cannot download it anymore they removed it for some reason second instance the transformers game it’s simple run and gun angry birds game but believe this big catch ROBOT BIRDS was the entire mind set for that game even if they both sound weird or dumb a cart racing angry birds and run and gun they are weird but way way way way better than this hot trash but however it still fits the angry birds quota so if u want more download this game but just don’t think about the annoying parts also if any sort of rovio review reader well reads this tell somebody to bring back go it is so much fun

Angry Birds is a TRAVESTY

This game is an absolute insult to the original angry birds game on so many levels. First off, now on angry birds there is a life system, which limits on the amount of times you can play a level. So most of the time your not even playing the game your just waiting 30 minutes for your lives to regenerate. Secondly, the amount of ads on this game is absurd. Theres like a dang ad in your face after every level. Third, there are clans, now why the heck are there clans in angry birds, just ridiculous. Those 3 reasons alone are what hold the game back. For some positives, the game is bright and colorful, and thats about it. During the game play you are given a random hand of 3 birds and you cant even pick your birds anymore to strategize. Also, you cant come up with a strategy to win a level because the levels are always being shuffled with new obstacles so you cant adjust. In addition, these birds got a downgrade from the previous game. The blue bird is utterly useless and the grey bird might as well not even be in the game. The only birds who are constantly good are the red bird and the black bird. In conclusion, this game is bad and is a shame to the original angry bird games. I cant believe the replaced the original with this piece of TRASH!!

Game is rigged to try and force you to spend money

Physics of the game are the most obvious part, if you get to a point where you’re advancing fairly quickly thru levels you’ll begin to see things like the big red bird or the bomb bird doing little to no damage on objects they would otherwise blow thru with ease. Structures on one level will crumble like a house of cards while on the next level will act as one solid piece and remain rigid when hit. If you have the patience to continue without spending any money to advance and after several times of your lives running out it will eventually ease up again and you can burn thru a couple levels fairly easy before it starts the whole process over again of slowing you down. I have not spent one red cent on this game and I never will, being a free to play game I understand that it comes with ads that you have to watch at times, but the obvious cheating that the game does to try and sucker you into spending money is the coffin nail for me, as soon as I finish this review the game will be deleted from my device. It’s a shame because the original was a good game, even the other spin offs. The only improvements angry birds 2 has over the original is the graphics, the rest of it is just a disappointment.

HUGE Downgrade from older angry birds

The older angry bird games were something you could play a lot and have countless fun. However, angry birds 2 is the complete opposite. First and perhaps what really makes this game awful, is the life system found on other games like candy crush, where you can only play for 5 lives at a time. This was by far the most disappointing feature EVER! Instead of relaxing and playing some angry birds for who knows how long, once you lose your 5 lives you have to wait around 20 minutes just to get one more life. YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO PLAY! How dumb does that sound? That’s what turned me down from candy crush, as I thought it was just stupid to wait in order to play. The game itself has so many extra pay to win features that really just turn me off from what the original game used to be. Ads, gems and other exclusives you have to pay for have changed the once beloved angry birds into a pay to win, money grabbing disappointment I’ve ever seen. Literally the only improvement from the original angry birds is the better graphics, and that’s ABSOLUTELY IT. 1/100 of a game, do not get unless you just love to wait to play... Never deleted a game after just 2 weeks of trying to give it a chance as fast as I did with this garbage game.

Pay To Win & Loot Boxes Galore

The game is designed to entice people to spend their money on loot boxes in order to progress further. You are given some initial success upon login(to get people playing the game, if people lose right away chances are they’ll play something else) which is then slowed down until you spend money on in game currency. The currency is geared towards “Legendary Treasure Boxes.” $20 spent will allow you to unlock two of these boxes. Yes, two. Once open the boxes give you a 1 in 5 chance of actually getting something useful, most times you are awarded with feathers to level up a single bird. Once at a certain point after spending the game will halt your progress in single player until you spend money again, not allowing you to advance a single level. In addition to halting any progress in multiplayer, challenges, etc., once money is spent in game again, you magically start winning again for a short period. This is especially bothersome to me due to the fact the game is geared towards children with the bright color scheme, playful characters and animations. As well as being so heavily promoted within the App Store! Parents: if you don’t want your children gambling away your money on loot boxes with 1 in 5 odds, keep them away from this game!!!!

It’s a money pit.

I love the gameplay, but there’s just so many ads and I can hardly progress through the game without spending thousands of dollars on gems, which I am nowhere near stupid enough to do. I was also falsely banned “due to hacking or cheating”. I have never done anything against the terms of service. Rovio, please go back to your original game design. There’s enough ad-filled, in-app purchase junk out there already. Please, make your games like they used to be. People will be willing to pay a few bucks up front for the game, but it’s stupid that they need to keep paying to keep playing. If you make a fun game that costs, let’s say, $3 or $4, without ads or in-app purchases, it will still be popular. Just please stop this nonsense with ads every 30 seconds. What happened to Angry Birds 1?? Now it has ads and micro transactions, just like all your other games. Why? Just make the game cost a few bucks. For anyone else out there that agrees, write a review like this and maybe Rovio will listen this time. Also, I was banned for cheating. I have never hacked the game or any other game, so I don’t know why this happened. Fix you anti cheat software. You don’t get more plays for the game being free. A good quality game should not be free with in app purchases.

Shameful and stressful

I understand that you already made your money with this app angry birds 2 and you no longer care to answer or listen to the complaints of all these people playing the game but remember that without customers and without good reviews a business goes to fail, the new arena game in angry birds2 is shameful an stressful that the players are losing there stars and they are being lowered in leagues back down to the beginning of the game when I know that all of us who play have done our best and we just want to enjoy the game some players have invested money in playing and buying the products you offer , you can improve this part of the game ( the arena ) that most players including my self believe is fixed and feel offended , remember that in business the two parties have to receive something , and the client is always right, the game angry birds2 is good an fun to a point but like everything in life always has faults and things to fix thanks

Rovio updates their greed!

Do not download this game until you see new reviews that say rovio fixed the game to NOT be a money sucking, monkey on your back, vampire! The newest rovio update revamped a great game into a money pit... those of us long time players who have actually spent money in the game are not willing to spend like gambling addicts! I used to casually play the game all day long at an expenditure of approx $75 a month. You could spend a great more if you wanted to advance at the maximum rate. Now, to play at the rate I once did would cost me 3 or 4 times more! Physics of the game are harder so you have to use more gems to accomplish what you once were able to before! Now you fling money at the structures, not birds. If you have too much money and you can’t decide between diamond crusted paint job on your McLaren or Angry Birds 2, flip a coin. If money means something to you, and your looking for a fun, casual time waster, don’t download this app.

PLZ READ! Thanks :)

I used to play this game when I was a little kid. I wasted about 4.99 on gems in one purchase and NEVER RECEIVED THE GEMS I PURCHASED! I ended up really upset, so I told my parents and they said it wasn’t a big deal. I never did get anything back for losing that hard-earned cash. Nowadays I earn 2 dollars a week, but that is not enough to pay for anything worth buying. I am EXTREMELY mad about everything that has happened. Even though this purchase glitch of sorts may have been removed, it could happen again. This incident happened when I was just 4-6 years old. To this day, I still remember almost every second of that awful time in my life. In total, I lost about $6 in total paying for gems (and unsuccessfully getting them.) In my situation, whenever I paid for gems, roughly 90% of the time I would get the gems I purchased, but that 10% was always there (which is why I don’t trust the devs anymore). Also, this game is ALWAYS trying to make you pay money to buy boosts or whatever is for sale at that time. A rule of this game: No boosts, no pig-popping poofs. Or completed levels. Anyways, PLEASE don’t get this game. Thank you for reading this review, and have a nice day! 🙂

Ok.

I like the older games better, but still a good game. Although, with the hatchling, and if you don’t feed it enough it’ll run away thing, kinda scares me. I know it’s just a game, but it still freaks me out, so instead of playing the game, I just don’t because then the hatching won’t go away unless you start playing. Scares me. Anyway, I also don’t like the fact that this game has fake ads. I saw one where it was like: Red had to reach the bathroom, and there were obstacles, and you had to pick the best tool to get rid of the obstacle. So, yeah. That does NOT happen in the actual game. I also saw one where it was a playable ad, and it was 3D. The actual game doesn’t work like that. Angry Birds is a franchise close to my heart, and I know you guys only care about the money, (Like virtually every company ever) but it hurts me when you misguide people. It didn’t misguide me, seeing as I already had this game when I saw those ads, but I hate that your misguiding other people. But, anyway, it’s a fun game. But it gets boring after a while.

Not pleased.

Not pleased. Y’all don’t give us nearly enough lives to make it through the game. Why do y’all even implement lives ? All they’re gonna do is make people want to delete the game, not continue playing it. Almost forgot I had it for a while because it’s just so ridiculous with the lives feature. The fact that we only have five is ridiculous, too. We should get at least 7. Y’all always want us to pay, too. Also, nonstop ads. They pop up so much. The game was joyful at first but then I started losing because I didn’t have enough birds. Maybe y’all should implement more keys into the game, too so that I can unlock more birds? Also, this game is honestly a prime example of why the sequels will never be able to compare to the original. Edit: Recently, there was an event going on and basically if you got more stars than anyone else, you would get rainbow feathers. I got first place, above everyone else, and I was not awarded ANY. If that was something that you were supposed to collect as soon as the timer ran out, that’s ridiculous. I was literally playing a level and I go to check and see if the timer’s done yet because it was at 2 minutes the last time I checked. Please let me know what’s going on.

Big improvements a few losses. Pretty money hungry.

I love allot of the action, fast pace, graphics and game play on this version. Upgrading the birds is a nice touch like the transformers version and others. What I miss in this version and it is a biggie, is you don’t have the option to do a level over but you have to waste resources to power on through. That makes this one greedy on your real-life pocketbook and I believe this version has to be connected to the internet to advance. That is what I love about Angry Birds Starwars2 and the Space Versions among the original. You can play the same level over and over and over till you get it right. I miss having the option of using resources when you give up... If Angry Birds 2 simply gave the option to redo the level until you got it right or gave in and used resources, then this version might be my favorite yet and ranked at 5stars. Maybe the next version will be even better. I keep buying all the Angry Birds versions. Some are some of my favorite games I play. Others like Epic I played for a couple hours and haven’t played it again in over a year.

Too many bugs.

I’ll start by saying that Rovio Entertainment’s customer service is horrible. I made one in-app purchase for $0.99, and I did not even receive the award. I can verify the date and bank statement, and I can verify the fact that I did not get my full reward. Even with all of this information, Rovio Ent. refused to refund my money or my reward. Next, the app is littered with bugs and glitches. Approximately 6 out of 10 times I opt to watch a video for a quick reward, the video ends and brings me to the app store to look at the advertised app. I’m fine with this part; it’s an effective marketing technique for a child’s demographic. However, in about a second the screen goes blank-white, not allowing me to return to AB2. I am forced to close and reopen the app, losing my reward. The sad part is, Rovio Ent. undoubtedly still gets revenue from the unrewarded ads watched by malleable children. This game could have been so exciting, cute and enjoyably challenging (shout-out to the individual designers), but Rovio Ent. insists on taking cheap shortcuts and not taking care of their customers. I’ll be shocked if they reply to this review with a response that is not obviously automated.

Something with the ads!

My iPad 9 crashed and I’m waiting for a new and better one. Now, you might be wondering: “How did it crash?” Well, this game, actually! See, this game is really, REALLY good. Pop up ads are extremely rare, Ads give good deals (Such as a rare chest for 1 ad), I got Terrence to elder bronze first session. It’s classic angry birds with better graphics, more birds, more levels, and real people. But there’s something’s up with older iPads. When it gets you to an ad, it starts reset loop. (If you don’t know what that is, reset loop is when it shuts off w/o warning, turns back on, and shuts back off before the usable screen shows up.) Now there is a solution for this, if you get it look it up online. But angry birds somehow bricked it. I can’t fix it, so I’m getting the new version of the iPad with pro. Good upgrade but I’m still pretty upset. I owe my dad 100 bucks but I spent all my money helping him and I need more. So kinda both thx and shame on you at the same time. Sorry if there’s not enough info. Adiós!

Financially Adaptive Game

Enjoy playing the game. Successfully progressed through levels, etc... Even though the different things you must accomplish each day will start to become annoying, you continue to play. This is when you will soon realize that the “ONLY” way to complete challenges/levels to receive rewards so that you can continue to play is by spending gems that you must purchase. One Example: to complete the daily challenge you must “Play a Clan Event” however it has timed out and requires you to pay 20 gems. Another Example: if you play the game, you will see sections repeat themselves. If you are on a regular level you can successfully beat that level, however if it is a boss level, there is rare chest involved, in an arena event or anything that promises to provide a reward, you will be unable to complete with out either paying the 60 gems to continue or running through all your hearts and then paying for gems. Will not even go into the adaptiveness of the Tower or Fortune. In short if you want to play for 5 minutes without spending money, then this is your game. If you have deep pockets and want to spend $200 or $300 a month to play for 30 minutes, then this is your game.

56 times is inexcusable!

I can’t believe I’m complaining about one of my favs - AB2 but this has gotten out of control. The Garden/Homescapes ads (and maybe the Royal Match ads also) can be difficult to exit. Here’s the routine: The ad ends. I tap the X. I’m taken to the App Store. I tap Return to AngryBirds 2 (or something like that). I’m taken back to the ad. I tap the X. I’m taken to the App Store. I tap Return to AngryBirds 2 (or something like that). I’m taken back to the ad. I tap the X… You get the idea. Occasionally the routine is only 2-3 times and I’m returned to AB2. Usually though I do this routine 10-12 times and if I’m not returned to AB2 then I close it and quit playing. Frustrating! Recently I did the routine 56 times. 56! I wanted to see how long it would take to return me to AB2 but I gave up. Parking Jam and Knock Balls satisfy my ADD better but I do enjoy the clan v clan battles in AB2. The battles have been taken away without any kind of explanation or ‘thank you for your patience’ note in our piggy mail. It’s disheartening to have something that was very enjoyable become very frustrating.

ads constantly lock up, and are long. in game purchase purchase purchase popups get annoying.

advertisement videos are optional in order to obtain free items in the game, such as arena tickets or daily free treasure chests. these ads feel long to me, for a game id usually play in stolen moments. even at that, a huge percentage of these ads lock up on their end screen, where you can “X” out to claim the reward- thus requiring you to reboot the game, and watch another video. given that this is a well designed touch screen game, this feels deliberate to me, which drives me away from the free items, and without them, it makes it much harder to compete and enjoy the game without throwing money at it (which is is why it feels engineered to have this problem). in game purchase requests are understandable in a free game, but the pop ups here are constant as well. these issues seriously undermine joy in the game. id rather pay for the amazing game to opt out of the ads. wish there was a version for that! otherwise, game play itself is super fun and addictive.

Beware of bots in arena since new update...

I have been playing angry birds 2 for a while now and had been loving the game. I never played for the competitiveness, but arena was fun until the new update...since the update, bots have been introduced in arena and it’s almost impossible to win a streak anymore. I went from a daily streak at-least 5 out of 7 times a week, now I’m lucky to even when 3 in a row. The arena isn’t the only thing that has changed the game however, you don’t get as much gems anymore unless you buy them with real money, and initially I would spend maybe 5 dollars here and 5 dollars there, but I finally realized this game has turned into nothing but money. I am super disappointed how the game is today because I really enjoyed it for so long. I just don’t get what the point is of changing the game. But like all companies, they just want money. This is evident in the game today. Now I only play maybe a few times a week just the story mode. I had so many arena tickets built up so I am trying to use them up. I guess it’s time to find another game unless rovio goes back to the original because it is honestly no longer as fun as it once was.

It was my favorite game and then I grew apart from it

Let me get started with this this is the best game I have ever played in my entire life and nothing will ever change that. The side scrolling action was amazing and I like the simplicity. And then they updated the game with so much extra difficulty. I hate that they took away the shockwaves buyer and the non-complicated way of doing SPARC run.I do not like the battle pass system because it’s basically asking for money for stuff that your entrance into buying and it annoys you that you can’t have these characters without buying them and it’s just so frustrating that they made the game extra complicated. I also don’t like that they had to switch the format of everything else. The game is still good and a lot of it on Waze but now with all these updates I’m not recommending it to anyone who has played it before and thinks it’s the same as it was before. If you wanna enjoy this game go ahead but for me I’m giving it one more chance and if I can still enjoy it who knows I may give it a five star review but as it stands I’m gonna give it three stars

No longer fun, just out for your money

I used to enjoy this game a few years back. However I removed it from my phone because it ate the battery, heated the phone too much and they started making some of the levels impossible to beat without spending money. I know they are in the business to make money and I am all for a pay upfront and at major updates. There are just too many games that follow the pay to advance model. They get you just frustrated enough that people pay out of spite. This new version is smaller and doesn’t heat my iPad; however, the game is no longer fun and actually is quite terrible. I am already deleting it after a few days. It is too difficult to advance without paying more or waiting hours upon hours. I also wish the colosseum battles were actually live and challenging a person in real time. The way the computer lets them have this miraculous win almost every time! You also can’t buy one last bird in that mode any longer, you can just try a rematch…..pass!

🎵🎶(They long time be) close to youuuuu🎶🎵

Somehow I have this classic Carpenters song at hand when I desire and addictively pick up my mobile to see what them vengeful birds are up to and see if they can continue to do their dirty with them porkers. “ Why do birds suddenly appear? Every time you are near?” Well thats poor ol ’ me observing those sneaky annoying oinking pigs that deserve a bit of attention. Seriously, I played the first edition long time ago and bounced to this version about 11 months ago. I’ve been in my home ever since and I’m sure that detectives are out searching for me. This game is fantastic and I’m always excited to see the evolution of this journey take place. I understythat people are turned off by the in-app credits but the game allows for free play with options . There is great value in this development and it needs to be compensated to the creative team. ......anyway thanks for entertainment. It’s been a ride of a lifetime.

Old ones were better

This is angry birds 2, basically like other great games by even greater companies they go downhill either by the founder being run by a “mister krabs” [aka greedy owner] or horrible leadership, this once great game is ruined with the mobile trend of “pay to win” I can understand the hearts thing but, but having to buy birds to continue to play levels? Thats were it draws the line, the old angry games were more user friendly and felt more like a puzzle this game seems as if they took angry birds and used every way of making money possible into it, it seems big companies Rovnio, popcap, etc go greedy at one point and ruin their games with pay to win and a ton of ads then they have the “compete with other players thing” which seems to be rigged, the so called “players are actually just bots” the bots each time they use a bird they gain 2x the points you get and cheat and the only way to beat them or try too is to well you guessed it using money, and

The most infuriating game you’ll ever play

This game is a disgrace to the angry birds franchise, every time you get to a boss battle the game makes you use all of your birds before you even get to the boss fight. So when you actually do get to the boss fight you’re screwed. The bosses have way too much health and it’s so annoying. And the worst part of all is that you have 5 lives and every time you lose a level a life goes away. And from what I remember the lives take about 20 minutes to refill. So you have to wait for hours for all of your lives to come back. Also, going back to the bosses, if you run out of birds but the boss is still alive the games makes you either watch an ad for 1 random bird, or it makes you waste your gems on getting 3 more birds. And if you don’t do either of those things, you lose. This game is so frustrating and annoying I uninstalled it. And I recommend you do the same. 👎🏻

A similar looking game but with amazing twists

Angry Birds 2 is in my eyes, better than every other game in the series. It has multi-player battles, a never-before seen diversity in levels, spells that act like the old power-ups, but with charm, and nice cosmetics that also affect the gameplay. There are micro-transactions, but they aren’t required, as the game gives plenty more ways to get the same things. My only two complaints are very minor in my eyes, too. The lives system may be a bit of an annoyance, but it can easily be ignored if you are good at solving the challenges the game gives you. It also incentives so me to play the other modes. My other minor complaint is having to unlock the extra flock members with a bunch of feathers or through waiting, but the game helps you get the required feathers, and it doesn’t feel impossible as a result. Overall, Angry Birds 2 outshines it’s predecessors in pretty much every way, and I don’t get bored playing this game easily, either.

Better than the first?

This game is definitely this generations go to game if your bored or not. I was bored one day just laying down doing nothing trying not to sleep my day away. So I looked throw the Apple store and found this game. I was shocked that there was a second one that I haven’t herd of till just then. So I started to search for the first angry birds but it was gone. The game I grow up playing was gone!!! I was super up set when it didn’t show up at the Apple store. So I tried the second one seeing if it was as good as the first one and it had some great things added to the game. This game brought back some really good memories of joy and frustration😂 I like how the game has some difficulty like the daily challenges those are pretty tuff. My only complaint is the game gives you 5 hearts and you can’t just grind out the game in a day or two. Although people should enjoy this game because it’s super fun and it’s what I look forward to every time I go on my phone

Adaptive Strategy

What I think most people who wrote low reviews dislike is something they may have missed entirely but I quite enjoy - the game adapts to your playing style (especially in the arena) and will change levels or pair you with opponents based on how you play. If you constantly beat people way stronger than you, it will keep making it more difficult. If you, however, take the hit and lose (sometimes repeatedly) the game will revert. If you fail a certain level multiple times it will place structures that your playing style is better at and give you free birds. A tip to those who read: if you're willing to fight, and sometimes lose, don't spend your money; if you want to win fast and be the baddest bird in the roost, spend away but only after you've cleared a win streak or beat a couple bosses - you'll get special bonus packages. It's a great game with more facets than I've ever seen in online gaming while managing to stay streamlined. Enjoy!
