    A truly astonishing port. [Issue#202, p.96]

    Owners of the original won't find any new gameplay levels, but they might enjoy the precise analog-based input the PSP and PS3 sticks provide.

    The 200 or so levels will eat up a solid chunk of your gaming time and is very addictive to the casual gamer.

    Controls are everything. This Iphone classic has been totally destroyed in its conversion to Playstation 3, where the controls don't work.

    Angry Birds was great on the iPhone and my addiction to it was pretty extreme. I purchased it to play on the PS3 hoping for a glorious HD version to be enjoyed on a large screen. Boy was I disappointed. While it is still a fun game, the graphics are pixelated and the default view is zoomed in- zooming out involves pressing L1 and R1 simultaneously, which you have to keep pressed to maintain that view. This is a mediocre port offering sub-par graphics, no settings menu and really nothing new as compared to the mobile version. I know this is supposed to be a "Mini" game but 'cmon guys, when I play this on the PS3 it basically feels like I'm holding a magnifying glass over my iPhone. Expand
  2. Let me start by saying I really like Angry Birds (the original as well as Rio, Seasons, Star Wars and Space). Now I bought it for the PS3. The port itself is OK, the sticks are a bit tricky to use at the beginning, but it is not too bad. Graphics are just horrible. I expected some HD textures for the PS3, but I think the iPad version is much sharper. But definitely the worst flaw of this game would be the fact that there are only 4 worlds, while the iOS version already has 8. Still, this version is more expensive. Why? Not because of the textures.

    If you have an Android/iOS device, play it on that. Don't get this silly version. Still, it is playable, so if you don't have Android/iOS you can think of buying this.

  3. I don't understand what people find enjoyable in this game.
  4. i cant stand how heavily OVER RATED this franchise is, its just throwing birds at pigs, REALLY REPETITIVE and BORING! i can't see how people are liking this, and i don't post this review only to hate on angry birds, no, this game, is EXACTLY the same as ALL of the other titles in this franchise, it was fun, for like the first couple minutes, but after that it's just up and boring. period.
