Angry Birds for the PSP: Review & Code Giveaway
When I first fired up my Playstation Portable and loaded Angry Birds, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I do not have a smart phone so I was completely unfamiliar with the Angry Birds craze that has swept through the iPhone community. I mean, firing birds with a slingshot at pigs in a fortress? The first thing that came to mind was “What the hell were these programmers smoking?”
After spending three days with the game I can now see what all the buzz was about. Angry Birds is easily one of the most addictive games I have ever experienced. The first time I played, I figured I would play for a few minutes, give it a try and that would be it. Before I knew it, I had played through all 21 levels of the first section and an hour had flown by. The next day, the same thing happened. I have found that I need to get to the next level and I don’t want to put it down until I do. The last time I felt like this I was in the throws of the original Super Mario Brothers on the NES.
The PSP version has 3 worlds, each with three sections and each section includes 21 levels. It is a dizzying amount of content for PSP Mini game. All that for $3.99 is quite the bargain.
I only had two issues with the game. First, there was an occasion slow down of the graphics on the screen, which can become annoying. And second, the later levels can be infuriatingly hard. Like throw your PSP across the room hard. But other than that, Angry Birds is a steal for $4 and a great way to kill time between classes or while riding on the bus. Anyone with a PSP who doesn’t have an iPhone should give it a try.
That being said, we’ve got a promo code (PSPMini code) to giveaway to you fine Geekadelphia readers. Just leave a comment about your favorite Angry Bird, and we’ll select one of you at random at the end of the week. Good luck!
I like the Red one’s fiery intense expression. that being said, I never played the game and would like the opportunity!
I think I like the blue bird the best because it separates into three tiny little blue birds. It reminds me of how you can have three little Mario’s or three little Peach’s follow you in Super Paper Mario.
I like the Yellow Bird- the triangle shape makes it look extra angry, and it’s super fast- making it even more ridiculous.
i like the big fat red one because he’s so ridiculous looking.
I like the blue bird, I like that it can split in three birds, he is way cooler than the others, I hope I win a code to play this game
Thanks
Ohhh… Tough call but the white bomb bird is the best. I mean, he lays eggs, seeming to defeat the purpose of the game until.. THEY EXPLODE ON EVERYTHING.
I’m partial to the little blue guys too, it takes a great degree of skill in order to get maximum pig killing deployment. I’m glad that this is coming to the PSP, definitely plays to the strength of the system. Finally I can give Lumines and Super Collapse 3 a rest!
I’m all about the Pig’s with metal hats! Tha’ts right, I’m a pig fan! And they have plush animals on their website, I was sooo excited! If I had to pick a bird though, I’d go yellow, “supa fass”
I’m gonna go with the big red one. He looks pissed and means business. I like. A lot.
I like the yellow bird best because he looks the angriest and I love the way the boost lets him drill through their defenses.
The big red bird is the best. You must have an angry bird to deal with those dirty pigs!
