Angry Birds Star Wars II for iOS

Angry Birds Star Wars II is a new twist on the popular game, and it features all of your favorite characters from the prequel movies. Unlock all kinds of new characters with different abilities, and choose the ones you will use in each level to try and defeat your enemies and tilt the balance of power in the galaxy to your favor.

Pros

Choose your side: Unlike other Angry Birds games, this one allows you to choose which side you would like to play as. Of course, you can still play as the birds if you'd like. But you can also choose to control the pigs and help them harness the power of the Dark Side to complete their takeover of the galaxy.

Daily spin: To help you beef up your lineup no matter which side you choose, you'll get a daily spin with a chance to win a free character. And to add a little bit of intrigue to this game element, each new character you win comes frozen in carbonite. You can either wait eight hours for them to melt before you can use them, or you can pay cash to melt them immediately.

Cons

Paying for victory: Because of the way the game is set up, it's hard to get passed the hardest levels without spending some actual money for specialty birds. It's hard to earn enough through normal gameplay and your daily spins to accumulate enough talent to overcome all obstacles. And even if you don't want to spend any money, you'll be constantly bombarded with pop-up prompts to purchase specialty characters.

Bottom Line

Any fan of Angry Birds is sure to love this game. And even if you've never played Angry Birds before but are a fan of "Star Wars," you'll enjoy the cast of characters and challenging game mechanics found in this app. Angry Birds Star Wars II is free to download and play. While there are tons of options for in-app purchases, you'll never have to pay to play if you don't want to and can use your resources wisely.
