How’s that for compatibility? Angry Birds and the iPod is tailored toward your lifestyle by allowing you to relax not only on the bus, in restaurants or at work, but in the washroom as well! It’s almost scary how seriously the creators of the video are taking Angry Bird, but they do have their points.
Just what makes Angry Birds successful? It can’t be the difficulty of the physics involved in the gameplay, as most apps on the market nowadays are highly developed, so science-wise, that kind of technology is almost expected. My group members brought up the fact that the game was cute, and I semi-agree on that. Yes, colorful graphics and hilarious cartoons can be attractive, but towards middle aged, male hardcore gamers? I just don’t see that happening.
As an owner of an iTouch and someone who has finished the game, I can agree 100% with the main point of that video; the addictiveness of Angry Birds originates from the randomness of the game. You can spend hours playing a level and never get past it, until that one lucky round, and you really feel like you accomplished something.
Actually, thinking back, I guess the cuteness factor is a fairly valid point. For the people who haven’t watched those animated short films, they definitely should, because they’re hilarious.
