And yes, you’ll still fail occasionally and blame a pig or brick that didn’t react the way you expected it to. You’ll fail because the layout changed between tries, effectively presenting a different challenge to tackle. You’ll fail because you ran out of birds before finishing every part of the level. Some common elements tend to remain, particularly in stages with a giant boss pig to defeat, but the strategy you figured out by failing the previous attempt may not carry over to the next attempt.īetween the multi-stage approach and freeform bird selection, Angry Birds 2 truly offers more opportunities to fail. And there’s one more twist: The level layouts are semi-randomly generated, so each time you retry a stage, you’ll see a different design. Smashing up pigs isn’t the only goal anymore, either: The more blocks and beams you destroy along the way, the more extra birds will unlock to finish off the stage. The pigs’ houses are no match for the world’s heaviest rubber duckies!


No longer are you bound by the order the birds are lined up. Enabling that design is a new approach to bird use: You’re dealt “bird cards” for the familiar creatures, and you can pick whichever bird you want to use for each new fling. You’ll find 240 levels in the initial free-to-play download, with more promised-and they’re now multi-stage missions that often comprise three or four different screens of structures to take down.

Pick the bird that best fits the moment, but choose wisely: Your bird cards now have to last across multiple stage layouts.īut the “bigger” approach extends to the gameplay, as well.
