[MU] Angry Bird PSP [EUR]

The concept of the game is equally as simple. You control the arc and speed at which the birds are fired into the hideouts via a giant slingshot. Much of the game is trial and error to get a feel for how far and how fast the birds fly through the air. While the smartphone version of the game uses touchscreens to accomplish this, the Playstation Mini version uses the analog stick to adjust the angle / speed.

Once you have a desired position, you can either flick the stick in that direction to fire the birds to tap the X button to accomplish the same thing. You can also preview the landscape by using the triggers, a necessity in the latter levels when requiring strategy to destroy the entire hideout.

One of the great things about Angry Birds is that there are multiple solutions to solve each level. You may luck out and destroy the entire castle with a single bird or you may have to use up all the birds to even make a dent in the joint. There are birds that do other actions during the game like drop bombs, fly faster or even explode. You also have to consider the type of material that you are shooting a bird into. Firing a bird into piece of glass will likely have a more powerful effect that trying to knock over cement. You really want to try and perfect each level as you are rated by three stars on each level and awarded bonuses for nailing everything exactly right.

Graphics

Visually, the game is definitely colorful and will light up the screen with brightly colored birds and silly green pigs. The artwork is designed to offer a playful atheistic and works well with the concept of the presentation. The very important physics engine is also intact making for a seamless transition for those who have played the game already. Unfortunately, there are stuttering issues that come into play often during the game. They don’t affect how the game works, but rather are seen during object collision. It’s definitely annoying and detracts from the experience.

Audio

There’s not much going on with the audio beyond the repetitive music and the sound effects of the birds or falling objects. All the sounds are identical to the other versions of the game on other platforms.

Conclusion

One of the biggest problems with the game is the premium price, approximately 4 times the price of the current iPhone app. However, it is slightly cheaper than the iPad version of the game, so that’s somewhat more attractive for iPad only owners out there. But if you ddd in the graphical issues and the lack of any online functionality to expand the competitive nature of the gameplay to get a version of Angry Birds that’s probably not worth downloading if you have access to it on any other platform. However, if you don’t own a smartphone or iPod Touch, it’s worth checking out to see what all the fuss is about. The 200 or so levels will eat up a solid chunk of your gaming time and is very addictive to the casual gamer.
