Angry Birds Go

The different episodes of Angry Birds were only the first phase in the studio Rovio plans to conquer the world. Already at work on a cartoon inspired by cholerics birds, the studio explores new leads and tent unprecedented approach in promoting its piafs. This is now in a racing game that one finds throughout the Angry Birds troupe. 

The announcement of Angry Birds Go! let think that Rovio had ceded at easy development by following the path traced by many other studios before him. We then imagined that the Angry Birds series would quickly masked for turn into racing game to the Mario Kart. By far, this is indeed the inevitable conclusion, but in y looking closer, Angry Birds Go! seems to have found adequate strings to differentiate of the model and finally propose a rather personal formula. 

A background, thoroughly, thoroughly! 

The races of Angry Birds Go! quarreled by all on the flank of mountains and consist hurtling down cliffs more or less steep. Without brake, nor accelerator, the notions of pilotage then boil down to direct his vehicle towards the left or right, either by inclining his gaming machine, either by simply pressing an edge of the screen. One finds on the track few slabs boost, but none bonus object, which definitively distinguishes Angry Birds Go! of Mario Kart. Instead, each character has his own power for take advantage. L’red bird can go very fast once, small blue birds have meanwhile several accelerations, the pink bird locks himself in a protective bubble, the black bird coward bombs, etc. 

Outside these powers, nothing distinguishes a pilot of another. This is at vehicle level that all happens. The gear is thus be governed by several characteristics (speed, acceleration, maneuverability, etc.) should be done mount by spending the parts harvested during races. Increase one of the criteria of the vehicle also amounts to increasing its general category, opening access retesting. There is thus several types of Tests in the game. In each world, one finds single races against few competitors, shopping alone against the watch, races where must explode fruit on the course, and duels more or less difficult. In addition to these types of tests repeat as many times as necessary, a special challenge against a character systematically awaits us at each level. Beat three times that competitor allows not only to unlock the next world, but also to add this driver to his team. 

Shopping, it tires 

Obtain new pilots is far from being negligible in Angry Birds Go! : Even without being specially fan of power of this or that character, it is comfortable to broaden his team for the good and simple reason that each member of the troupe gets tired to each contested race. Indeed, a pilot may engage only five races a row. After that he must rest. The recovery time is grosso modo equivalent to half an hour, a delay during which the driver is not available. More one has pilot’s station, more one can therefore play, it’s as simple than that. 

Long and Free 

Basic, Angry Birds Go! is proposed free. It is therefore possible to play without having to spend anything, for as long as wanted. The races allow to earn coins which in turn are changing the vehicle, which increases our chances of win more trials, unlock new pilots and access other worlds. The game system is well-rehearsed and purchases in-game are therefore not necessary to progress. The only temptation relates the urge to buy a multiplier of parts for advance a little faster and counter the relative slowness of progression. Actually, with prices steadily higher to improve his vehicle, time spent collectible parts becomes logically increasingly long. Same thing for afford new vehicles, to buy for their share with crystals, even rarer than the parts items. Collection takes therefore shows long and tedious, which is not a problem in itself, but must be emphasized. If the races are fast, the general progression does not advance well quickly, and will ask to replay several races on the same circuit to obtain valuable coins and extremely rare crystals. Few objectives come then add to increase its nest egg, as does collect a certain number of pieces on the circuit or of make a jump of a given length. All this fact that the duration of life shows himself pretty huge while housing to traditional day are not even not yet arrivals to add new races. 

Angry Birds Go! is compatible with Telepods toys allowing of scanner a figurine of kart for obtain its virtual declination in the game. Without figurines to disposal, we not been possible test this option.
