If you're a fan of the feathery game franchise, the title of this article might be somewhat confusing. Angry Birds 2? Aren't there already tons of sequels for the immensely popular game?
Well, yes. There are 14 games total, including the original Angry Birds, but the new one, if you trust the game's publisher Rovio, is the "first sequel," with visuals and gameplay being "overhauled from the ground up."
Angry Birds 2 includes multiple-stage levels, new spells, the ability to choose your birds, and a new avian, Silver, in the flock.
There are other changes too. Angry Birds 2 has been out in beta since June, under the name "Angry Birds: Under Pigstruction," and we didn't like it very much, mainly due to the game giving you a finite number of lives which you could only increase by waiting, watching ads — or spending money. We'll soon take a more detailed look at the finished game and see what has changed since the beta.
The game is available right now for Android and iOS.
