iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Exclusively looking at the gameplay of Angry Birds 2, this is the best Angry Birds yet. Throwing in additional randomization spices things up a bit, the "boss fights" are really neat, and all the other little additions here and there (Like fans, flowers that spit blocks for some reason, and other strange things) make playing the game a ton of fun.

Angry Birds 2 builds upon an enjoyable mobile gaming mechanic making it well worth picking up for all new bird sling-shotting fun no matter how many previous levels of Angry Birds you have played.

Rovio has gone above and beyond making Angry Birds 2 the best entry in the series so far, from its polished-up graphics to the new challenges it has to offer.

Angry Birds 2 is a great sequel, when you're able to play it.

Angry Birds 2 looks great, from the level backdrops through to the little touches: pigs quivering as you prepare to launch a new bird, and then zooming out of the screen towards you as nearby objects explode.

Angry Birds 2 is a stunning, proper sequel for the original hit. Beautiful to see, fun to play and rich in content, the game's only shortcoming is the freemium model.

It does evolve the original formula, and it does deliver content enough to keep us playing for some time. The catch is that now it relies on a free-to-play model some players will find questionable.

Your money or your life? [Sept 2015]

Angry Birds is a constantly changing beast, but most of the changes here are for the better.

I found the in-app purchases intrusive and destructive of the gameplay flow. If you don’t mind that sort of thing, add 10 points to this review score. If you’re highly irritated by freemium features you can’t avoid, then my only advice is to avoid Angry Birds 2 and opt for one of the earlier games in the series.
