![]() A few free power-ups are unlocked through normal play, but the rest are purchased in bulk and consumed. or you can just purchase 10 uses of the Darth Maul bird for around $8 and slice your way to the TNT directly. You can figure out the perfect way to swing Jar Jar around and hit an out-of-the-way TNT crate. Unfortunately, a heavy emphasis on purchasable power-ups undermines this finely-tuned balance and carefully crafted level design. Gigantic magnets also litter one batch of stages, wreaking havoc in all the right ways if you can figure out how to knock it into metal barriers that stand in your way. ![]() My personal favorites are the unlockable reversed-gravity underwater bonus stages you earn after using each bird enough times – your bird falls up, towards the water’s surface. Most levels’ three-star score thresholds are an intricate puzzle you’ll need to piece together using only the first one or two birds in your arsenal, intelligently using their special powers in just the right way. The days of Angry Birds being nothing more than a casual “fling and forget” experience are long gone. Like the well-designed birds, Rovio’s stage design also shines brighter than ever. Plenty of Jedi and Sith characters once again feature a lightsaber that can slice through pesky barriers. Episode 1 Anakin is pulled through the air by a podracer that you can redirect mid-flight. The Emperor Pig shoots Force lightning that travels through metal blocks and chains to nab hard-to-reach foes. Fun!Īlthough Jar Jar is the best of the bunch, all the other characters’ new powers are great to use and cleverly integrate key movie moments. A few stages let you gleefully grapple onto a TNT crate, swing it around your bird, then release it at the perfect moment to detonate in the midst of a Sith Pig structure. Even better, you can grapple onto objects, and even pigs. In flight, you can tap anywhere on screen to launch a grappling-hook tongue that attaches itself to walls, altering his trajectory in a swinging arc. Incredibly, Jar Jar Binks is probably the most fun of the bunch. Regardless, Rovio makes up for Jango, Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, & co.’s comparative lack of star power by giving them genuinely interesting and fun special abilities.
