Angry Birds Rio out now on iPhone, iPad, Mac
The movie tie-in game for Angry Birds, called Angry Birds Rio, is now available on the iOS App Store for 99 cents on iPhone and $2.99 on the iPad; it's $4.99 on the Mac App Store. The game features 60 new levels of the popular bird-throwing game and stars two characters from the upcoming movie Rio. It features full Game Center integration with all new achievements and boasts "a spectacular boss fight" of some kind. In short, if you like Angry Birds, you'll enjoy this one as well.
The game unfortunately does contain those ads that had some feathers ruffled in the original version, but the ratings on iTunes haven't suffered very much. And the description on the iOS store does promise updates "throughout 2011," so there's more content to come.
In case you don't want to spend the buck just yet, there are also free versions for both platforms that have six levels to check out. But it's Angry Birds -- while it looks from the screenshot like you're busting birds out of cages rather than attacking pigs, the catapult physics gameplay is still the main focus.

The score tally screen is slicker. Now you have to free the birds/kill the monkeys. Each section is a different type of challenge. You can also hunt for hidden pineapples and bananas. Well worth the 99¢. It's also clear that there will be free updates throughout the year.

Rovio really seems to have upped the quality level of both foreground and background, by quite a lot, and even threw in a (gratuitous but cute) 3D perspective shift when zooming. Gameplay is still smooth as ever, though. Colour me impressed!
March 22 2011 at 5:04 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI am still very miffed when companies still choose to release separate iPhone/iPad binaries nowadays.
I would be willing to let folks slide just after the iPad came out for learning's sake, but nowadays? Ridiculous.
I completely agree with you unless there is a significant difference between the two to justify having separate versions. If the game is the same on both the iPhone and iPad, then it should be a universal app. I bought the game on both the iPhone and iPad and I have yet to see the ads, am I missing something?
March 22 2011 at 5:10 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyas annoying as that is what gets me more is the separate games for what are basically level packs. Put the dang things all in a single game and let me buy the in app if I want them. same with free to paid upgrades.
I suspect "the ratings on iTunes haven't suffered very much" because SOMEONE (could it be . . the developer? Hmm?) is stuffing fake 5-star ratings in as fast as they can to offset the anti-ad negatives.
March 22 2011 at 4:37 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYea because the most popular iPhone game of all time and currently #1 selling app in the App Store cannot have any 5 star reviews.
March 22 2011 at 4:42 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyGrabbed it 5 days ago on iPhone but yet to see any ads?
