Angry Birds Trilogy Review

Rovio, creators of the popular Angry Birds game made an announcement that the franchise would be coming to video game consoles later this year. Last month, Activision said that it is working with Rovio to bring the pig-smashing mobile sensation to consoles, but the company didn’t reveal much detail about the news. Now, it seems that Angry Birds will come up as a trilogy and will be equipped with the original Angry Birds game, Seasons, and Rio.

The games will be specifically designed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS, and will come on one disc or on a cartridge for the 3DS.

“With Angry Birds Trilogy, every version supports the unique experience tailor-made for the platform,” said Rovio’s Petri Järvilehto. “In addition to normal gamepad controls, with Xbox 360 we support Kinect for easy family-friendly game play. We’re seeing that resonate strongly especially with the younger audience.”

“With PS3 you can play also with the Move controller. On Nintendo 3DS we’re supporting Stereoscopic 3D and Streetpass.”

In order to make Rovio’s game more interesting and exciting for the console users, the Angry Birds Trilogy is reportedly introducing some attractive features. The games will also have high resolution graphics and are particularly tailored for HDTVs. Kinect support will be offered to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version will get PS Move support and 3DS will be facilitated by StreetPass, which allows users to connect with other 3DS users in close proximity.

There have been many mobile games to make the jump from mobile gaming to consoles. Back in 2010, Plants vs. Zombies was launched on Xbox 360, and it is also expected that Doodle Jump will soon be introduced to Xbox 360.

Both Rovio and Activision haven’t revealed the price for the trilogy yet. Angry Birds became popular after being launched on IOS and Android devices.
