The first ‘Angry Birds’ game was released for iOS in 2009 and has since expanded into a franchise with over 1.7 billion downloads of the various games released in the Angry Birds series. 7.Rovio gave fans a peek at the next installment in the enraged avian flinging saga today with the release of a trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars 2. It's largely the same game, just a bit bigger and better this time around. Given that there's a free-to-play option (just be prepared for adds) it's worth a look for Star Wars and Angry Birds fans. As a result this sequel is a slight improvement.

It goes along way to make the Angry Birds Star Wars game just a bit better. While that leads to a very familiar feeling, it's not hard to appreciate the new toys it gives you. Ultimately it doesn't do much to shake things up. Not to mention it's just cool to shoot pigs at the birds when you've been doing the opposite for so long. You're still doing the exact same thing, but the powers you are given are far more destructive. I'm sorry, I mean "Pork Side." That's right, you get the ability to play as the pigs this time around (only dressed as classic Star Wars villains). The best new addition though has got to be the ability to play on the Dark Side.

Especially when you realize that a lot of them have their own unique power, instead of just being another skin in a shared pool of abilities. It's always exciting to get a new character and figure out what they do. It's basically exactly what you would expect, but the large amount of bird abilities at your disposal allow you to play it in new ways. Luckily the game delivers on it's standard story levels. Given the nature of the mode, I don't fully support it no matter how much it pushes gamer creativity to the forefront. You can either wait eight hours for a few new ones, pray you get one of those rare occurrences where all you have to do is watch an add, or drop some cash. Unless you're just really good, there are times when you'll be running low on birds. Given it's nature, it's sort of an obvious ploy to allow microtransactions in.

It offers you chances to get new birds every eight hours that you can use to bail you out of a regular level or, you guessed it, use to actually play this new series of levels. There's a certain collect-a-thon element to the game. You get the option to play through all of the levels using any birds you want. The story obviously limits you to specific birds, but Rovio gives you a chance to put your own ideas to the test. Given the amount of characters and crazy powers they each have, it's not hard for your mind to race with thoughts of the potential of figuring out just what characters would be most effective in a given situation. The way it follows the story is scattershot and fragmented, but it gives us the goods when it comes to the characters and level design.
