Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs Reviews

by Xwing1000

This is a shock. I’m a huge angry birds fan and I’m writing a negative review? Well yes, and there’s a good reason for that. I like at games. I really do, like fnaf ar, which is awesome. But as the title says: THIS. DOES. NOT. WORK. I tried to enjoy it, but I couldn’t. If it wasn’t the lag, it was the game breaking bugs. If not that, then the awkward AR controls ruined it. I think you should really just stop making these awful 3-d games. Now I’m not an old gezer who likes the olden days, but the 2-d games were actually fun and playable, but 3-d is just time wasters, without any of that old school charm. This game is the perfect example of this, and this game just doesn’t work. I hope you find this review helpful

I have a iPhone 7 and I found I want to play it because a week ago I starting to play angry birds again and this game overheat my phone after 2 levels and after trying to get 3 stars in level four in the first world the game was broke and I could not play the land to play the game and the last time before I give up and remove it and loading screen glitch and red,Bomb,and Chuck glitch and the body was on the top to the place there are and I feel like the game was killing my phone and I just played this today and I already done with this game and I download the game not even a week ago if you have a old phone DO NOT DOWNLOAD this game if the phone is old and I think need a very good phone to play the game good without damaging your own phone by overheating.

It’s like the original angry birds but with AR. If there was ever a game that was suited for AR it is angry birds. I love walking around and getting a new prospective on the level. Now for what is not working. 1 star for 12 inch iPad Pro with Face ID support. Menus are not showing correctly and if you fail a level you can’t see what to click to restart or continue. I took away another star because there is no iCloud sync across devices. They clearly seemed to have developed this for iPhone first. Hopefully they add iCloud support and fix the bugs.

The rotate left and right buttons are too small and very sensitive. If not touched just perfectly the game pauses it self. And it pauses itself by mistake often. Then you have to press a different part of the screen to unpause and then try and rotate again. It happens often and is annoying. The rotate is also a set fixed amount. If you want an amount between the Fox amounts it just isn’t possible. Repositioning the camera above it below isn’t possible without moving the camera a large amount. That’s fine if your standing outside. But if your playing it from a a small space like on the train you should have the ability you reoption up or down too.

I think this game really exemplifies the potential and and downfalls of ar based games/applications.

Pros:
- great way to interact with a 3d environment. Fast to pickup
- level design has a lot of potential to use different angles, encourages user to move around.

Cons:
- currently the games levels are way too easy, and are nowhere near the levels of intricacies the original 2D angry bird games had.
- the iPhone camera is almost always refocusing as you play the game, making the experience extremely nauseating (even if you don't move the phone, the screen will continue to refocus every 1-3 seconds)
- the handheld experience is still a little jittery. Unless if you're playing with your phone on a tripod, the graphics will shake about as you're trying to aim your birds. I hope future ar developers might employ some of iPhones motion stabilization to compensate this.

I’ve been a huge fan of the franchise for many years now but this game needs some improvements and the biggest is tech support! The game is too finicky and cliche; it freezes too often and takes too long for the game to register when moving around. I know this can be fixed with some major updates and that takes time but until then I will give this game 3 stars instead of five ( this game can and should be five stars) please fix the stability guys!!

I actually think this is very fun, but that’s not what I want to talk about, I want to talk about how you guys took down the OG angry birds, I usually waste time on my mobile games while waiting for my friends to get on Xbox and ps4, I always look for a fun game to waste ten- twenty minutes on, but none of your games have appealed to me, you made a pop game, but there are 1000 more games just the same but without angry birds that are pop games, I have been playing angry birds since I was three, the original was the best, my personal request would be to please bring it back, thank you.

The constant vibrating is bothersome but I don’t see much glitching so far using the X it runs well for just being released with very little position drift.
The big problem is the same as with most AR games... it sets your phone on fire and drains your battery quickly. It’s cool to show someone but unless you want to be charging your phone you won’t be playing this but a minute or two here and there.

This new game is a blast!! Sometimes the game crashes when I don’t finish a level. It won’t let me select no to adding another bird. When I say yes and watch the video, game becomes unresponsive. I wish someone would post videos or hints on how to find eggs. Accidentally found 1 on level 3 and I have no clue where the other 2 are.

If you are holding the slingshot back while the game ends, or pull it back as the game starts the ending sequence and loading your score up, the audio of the slingshot being elasticated will stay for the rest of the game until you exit and re open it. So if you could find out why it happens and fix it it would be a great deal of annoying ness off my ears 🙂

At first it seems really easy then it gets harder once you get past the tropical island and to the spooky version of it. There are some ads and it does crash occasionally, but it’s not that bad. Everyone just left a review when it first came out and never checked back in on it. Now it’s better.

I’ve played angry birds games for years . They’ve been a fun way to kill time in lines and what not. Recently I’d been disappointed by the addition of ads to the OG titles , and Angry Birds 2 was ok.

But this!

I’ve messed around with the Beta Minecraft Earth , and found it so so. It might be great when fully up and running , but right now , it’s a little bit gimmicky.

But this.

I was astounded by the graphics and game play, as I sat on my couch, and rotated the 3D structure that appeared on the floor in front of me. Suddenly on one map, I saw the support beam I wanted to take out, but hitting the rotate button wasn’t bringing it into view, and then I stood up! Suddenly I was looking over the wall that was blocking my view , and had a clean shot. Suddenly I realized I could get off of the couch and walk around the structure to see it from all angles.

And I mean all angles. During one level, I was doing ok , and I thought, Is that a beam under the roof? I got down on the ground , and looked up, and yes, there was a beam under the roof. And I could shoot it, and the whole thing collapsed down.

Wow.

I ore-ordered this game awhile back and when it came out I wasn’t sure what to expect until I played s few levels! This game is amazing and has amazing graphics and the idea behind it is very awesome. This game goes in depth with every little detail and it shows! There is no ads what so ever unless u want to watch and ad for extra birds or feathers. All in all this game is amazing and loads of fun!!

by Evalander

From everything I can tell, this game is great! Something I noticed is once a level is finished and Red turns to look at you, it looks rather unnatural and switches sides instantly. It also looks like there is some clipping. Something else, it doesn’t matter to since you can turn it off, but the vibrating is a bit excessive. Otherwise I think it is a great game!

Is it easy? Most of the time yes. Are there bugs? Sure. But a free and solidly made augmented reality game built on the angry birds franchise? How could you not give this a shot? I’ve played a fair amount of boring free games on here that have way less functionality and are jam packed with ads that have higher ratings on AngryBirdsAR Store and I just don’t get it. Y’all need to rethink your standards if this is anything other than a 5/5.

Amazing jobs guys. Keep up the good work.

So many bad reviews. People either don’t understand or what. If people want to play this game they must have the minimum specifications requirements to play. Is very logical if you have an older phone with slower chips and memory game will be slow and with glitches. I have iPhone XS Max and it works perfectly fine.

Good job developers love the game.

by Sirfancytoad

I’ve seen some reviews that say that the flat surface recognition feature isn’t working. What I’ve found is that if you get down to roughly the same level as the table (or ground) and move it around a bit. Once the area becomes highlighted, lean back to a comfortable position and then tap the button to place the game. You’re welcome, also the concept is amazing and it has lots of room for expansion.

This game is an amazing game that works very well for an AR game. Some say that it does not work and just floats away whenever you tried to shoot the pigs with you epic birds, and I have experienced that problem. You get around that problem by turning off vibrations for whatever reason. Then everything runs super smooth. I personally recommend to add a map creator so you can play you own maps and other peoples maps as well. Coolest AR game out there

On my iPhone X game is smooth, on my iPad Pro 9.7 the game crashed once but had no further issues afterwards. Game looks amazing and being able to move completely around the maps to find the best angle to hit the TNT create really draws into the Angry Birds world. Make sure you have a decent amount of open space to move, you'll need it.

The game currently is short but I hope this was just get the buzz going and expansions will quickly follow. Awesome job RIVIO, way to make Angry Birds fresh again!

I don’t often write reviews for games, but this one is different. This is the most fun I have had with a game in a long time. This feels like classic Angry Birds but with a 3-D real world twist. Everything looks beautiful and it controls perfectly. Being able to look at the birds and structures up close is incredible and makes the gameplay more interesting. There are plenty of levels. This is a full game, not just an experience. Whether you like Angry Birds or not I would highly recommend this to anyone!
