you've probably guessed from the title and i'm going to talk about angry birds but i'm not talking about angry birds in a good way, i'm talking about how over rated it is.
One point that i like about angry birds is the physics engine and a lot of people say they could easily create angry birds but when they look at the engine behind it and all the physics formulas that are used, it's not easily creatable. sure the idea of angry birds is a bit simple as angry birds have copied from crazy castle from a flash PC game and then they copied from another game from the NES library, i forget what it's called but there's one thing that angry birds have got above these other games it's the physics engine, an engine that has been revamped and red done to perfection.
the other thing is that angry birds is over rated. it steals from a formula from the gaming community has been known for. see with angry birds it has a fail and try again syndrome. it's all about trial and error, if at first you don't succeed you keep trying.
it's got friendly characters and array of cuddly toys and a massive fan base. new comers to the iPhone and android games are thinking this is the high point of gaming well it's not, it's because great games like GTA Chinatown wars for the iPhone is amazing but due to sloppy controls it fails.
With the iPhones and touch screen devices, and even the start of the 1990's games were becoming more mainstream and that caused the game developers to dumb down their games because they assumed the mainstream audience weren't smart enough to work out the games. look at Contra or the NES, tell me how many people actually completed that game without using the cheat codes. Not many people actually got all the way to end of Contra and that paves the way for other games in the NES library
sorry if this blog seems a bit pointless but i'd like to comment on it and give my own opinion on it
