What is so compelling about Angry Birds, you think? I completed the levels in the Lite version, and then switched to other games like Demolish or Cat Physics. I just don't get it why someone would play AB again and again... doesn't it get boring after some time?
- nwomack 16y ago1 -- It's perfect for casual play. I have a long commute that involves a subway, a high speed train, and a taxi. I can play it for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. As a counterexample, another favorite game of mine is 'Tilt To Live', but I can't just play it any time, anywhere, because I need a 10 minute block of time before I start the level (technically I could pause it mid game and come back later, but realistically I unpause and die). But with Angry Birds, I can. 2 -- The 3-star system. You can beat the level trivially, but depending on the level it is somewhere between moderately challenging to kick me in the pants hard to get 3 stars on a level. 3 -- It's funny. the birds, the pigs, the sounds they make, the way stuff crashes. I still snicker after countless hours played. tl;dr - it's a near perfect combination of casual-play, challenge, and hilarity
- kschua 16y agoI don't know. I am not hooked on AB, but my 3 year old daughter enjoys it (enjoys, but is not hooked yet). I got bored with it after a while as well, but it goes to show, what I think doesn't really matter, people are willing to pay for what I find boring
