After the roaring mass market success of the Star Wars Angry Birds launch last year that was popular with the kids and casual market comes the follow up game Star Wars Angry Birds 2 which now features telepods (plastic cylinders with magnifying lenses on each end) that you place your figure with a QR code on the underside on the pod then over the front facing camera and the toy zaps into the game and will stay in while you play but disappear when you turn the game off and you have to reload it again, no bling bags on this sku this year at they wanted a pod to come with each figure and it pushed it out of that price range. But a broad range of low to high ticket sets are coming out in September.
The game will be available on IOS, ANDROID and other platforms it will work on all modern smart phones with a front facing camera. I’ve really enjoyed the first Star Wars Angry Birds game and after playing a beta test of the new one I can’t wait to pony up my 69 pence and get it on the 19th September as this new version has many innovations and updates that a serious leap on from the first game.
The innovative yet simple and cheap interactive gaming style is currently being worked on with other Hasbro licences for launch next year and its far more interactive than most previous ap games I’ve seen launched since the ap games boom of recent years.
