Angry Birds Rio for Android 1.4.0

Overview

Are you ready to embark on a new mission, courtesy of the Angry Birds developers? Then Rovio has a surprise installed for you! After a small period of peace, the Angry Birds get kidnapped, caged and taken away to a foreign land. Escaping the clutches of their captors is only the beginning of the adventure, as they will soon discover a deeper purpose; freeing a rare species of birds held prisoner in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Packed with additional levels added regularly, Angry Birds Rio is not something you would like to miss out on if you are a fan of the series.

Interface

As expected, the graphics are much better than the previously released Angry Birds game apps. Moreover, it becomes nicer with each additional level that emerges. Now you can truly say that the game has the depth of a 3D feel to it!

Gameplay

The plot of the game is exciting. The Angry Birds discover that two rare macaws are being held hostage in Rio de Janeiro and they decide to help them escape. However, until you get to do that you will need to go through 165 exciting levels, earn achievement points, find the hidden fruits for enhancing the skills and test them when fighting bosses. The action takes place in all sorts of blooms in South America, from sunny beaches and rural and urban landscapes to the peaks of snow capped mountains.

The gameplay is similar to the one you know from the classic Angry Birds. If you want your birds to fly, then slide your fingers on the screen, pull back and release. In case you want to release the special abilities of the bird, then tap the screen during fights. In a nutshell, it is a simple formula and has precise controls.

Pros

There is really nothing that cannot be considered a plus regarding the Angry Birds Rio adventure. The reason why the game won so many awards resides in the fact that it includes super simple controls, the cutest graphics you have ever seen, and basic physics. In a word, this game has it all!

Cons

The main issue with Angry Birds Rio is that it contains ads. However, depending on your level of tolerance regarding ads, you can continue playing it like this for free or get the paid version and remove those pesky ads forever.

Alternatives

The alternative games for Angry Birds Rio are Angry Birds Seasons (Android, iPhone), Angry Birds (Android, iPhone) and Air Penguin (Android, iPhone). All free on Android, all great games and all very addictive!

Conclusion

Even though Angry Birds Rio does not include many features, the users will be blown off their feet with the single mode alone. Amazing landscapes, captivating characters, lots of achievements, trophies, blasts, explosions, new content added regularly, and the ability to discover more birds while you level up recommend this game for anyone that is passionate about the adventure genre. So, are you ready to go free Blu and Jewel from the hands of those nasty smugglers?
