With simple asymmetric gameplay, this game is great for kids of all ages, and a worthy tie-in to the movie. While the unskippable trailer is a poke in the eye, there’s nothing better than the cackling of a five year old while he mercilessly throws his would-be helpers around a submarine full of bombs.
I was captivated by the game’s charm and challenge to a degree I didn’t expect. I like how levels steadily introduce new challenges and problems to deal with that make getting the best scores a real endurance test but the difficulty does spike towards the end of the story to an almost unfair degree. If you really want to get the maximum number of stars in the game (and get a trophy for it) you’re going to need other people to tackle the complex and devious cabin designs in the late game and bonus levels. Also, having more people around to play with means more screaming and yelling while the captain cackles away in between bouts of shouting out for more plungers. How is that never not fun? This movie-based game, to my surprise, has a lot more going for it than initially expected.

This game has been fantastic for family fun! It’s been raining on holiday and we spent the day indoors with our kids. And this game helped kill many hours and provided lots of laughs. Just like the Angry Birds Movie 2!

What a great game for casual and non-casual players! Great fun for just messing around but also challenging to get the high scores! if you're a fan of overcooked then you'll definitely be a fan of TABM2VRUP :'D
Lots of couch co-op fun to be had here for sure!

The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure ignores the traditional Angry Birds gameplay and goes for something that works more suited for playing with friends. The developers have seen what asymmetrical gameplay can deliver through VR and by merging gameplay ideas from other titles on the market gives it a solid foundation. The way the game includes a variety of mechanics that evolve with each level helps bring an impressive amount of challenge to the game, but still remains a fun and hectic cooperative experience with delightful VR thrown in for good measure to bring its own identity of madness and joy.
This came as quite a surprise. Movie tie-ins nowadays are mostly cheap cash-ins, but Under Pressure VR takes the Overcooked formula, gives it a VR spin and, finally, delivers a fun experience that is at its best when playing with your friends.
When a group gathers around to play ABTM2VR, it’s a great party experience. Coordinating who’s going to take on each task as things constantly pile up is a hectic experience, but it’s extremely satisfying when it all clicks. Asan asymmetrical VR puzzle game, Angry Birds The Movie 2 is a definite success only held back only by the fact that unless four people are actually in the room to play, the party won’t be as lively as it should be.
Like the original franchise that spawned it, The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure starts out simple enough but quickly ramps up in difficulty to the point where it where it will exclude its target audience. On its own, Angry Birds 2 is a fine Overcooked clone, but beware if you plan on playing by yourself or with little kids. At least a couple of experienced gamers are required if you want to see any of the late-game content.
Playing The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure feels a bit like treading water, and while it has some amusing moments there isn’t enough to keep this one afloat for every long.
This type of thing is the future of VR - couch co-op and LOTS of family fun! I bought a PSVR a few months back but it's been packed away for some time now because it's such an isolating experience. Not anymore!
My wife and kids aren't big gamers so getting them to try it was the first step. I managed to convince them all to give it a go (I was the pilot to start with) and boy am I glad they did. It's an incredible amount of fun and uses VR perfectly. My wife tried Isle of Pigs on psvr but was a bit let down by the fact it was just the same as on the phone/tablet. This is a completely different game to what you're used to with Angry Birds, because it's for VR - which is what I love about it. We get so into it when we play. This sort of stuff should be given to companies that want to help with teambuilding - no joke!!>
Anyway, to sum up - we all love playing it and it's brought us together as a family. More of these types of games please :)

The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure is one of the best examples of how VR can be used in a way that all the family can join in and have fun, without excluding any younger members who might be too young to experience VR themselves. it's makes full use of PSVR's heavily underutilised social screen, with once character in VR managing the grabber, while the other players run around creating harpoons, torpedoes, and storing treasure. While it draws on elements from Overcooked, it provides fun new mechanics though the VR user's perspective, while staying familiar to fans of Angry Birds and Bad Piggies through the slingshot and construction mechanics. The levels themselves are varied and fast paced, and teach the new construction variations in a way even young children will be able to understand. While the main story is short, the difficulty builds well, and there are plenty of challenge levels to keep the fun going, including earnable cosmetics for getting 3 stars on a level. Overall I'd say this is the best VR game for families, with hours of entertainment for all, and a great new entry into the ever expanding Angry Birds franchise.

The latest game from Angry Birds is a winner! I didn't expect much when my friends insisted that we play together last week. By level 2 I was hooked ... and there are 30 levels! It was so fun to interact with my 3 friends and work as a team to complete each level. To my surprise, it's a really challenging game, makes you think and really keeps you on your toes, which I love! This is definitely not just a kids game - great for people of all ages. You have to try it for yourself and see what I mean! :)
