Angry Birds Trilogy
Angry Birds Trilogy is a 2012 video game compilation co-developed by Rovio Entertainment, Exient Entertainment, Housemarque, and Fun Labs and published by Activision. It contains remasters of the first three games in the Angry Birds series: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio.
The game was released for multiple platforms in late 2012, with ports for the Wii, Wii U and PlayStation Vita following in 2013. It has received mixed reception from critics and journalists.
Gameplay
In Angry Birds Trilogy, the player controls a flock of multi-colored birds that are attempting to retrieve their eggs, which have been stolen by a group of hungry green pigs. On each level, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, glass, and stone, and the objective of the game is to eliminate them on the level. Using a slingshot, players launch the birds with the intent of either hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures, causing them to collapse and pop the pigs. In various stages of the game, additional objects such as explosive crates and rocks are found in the structures and may be used in conjunction with the birds to pop hard-to-reach pigs.The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Trilogy support motion controls, where players can use a pointer-based motion control system—such as the PlayStation Move's Orb or the Kinect sensor's hand tracker—or a touchscreen to operate and aim the slingshot. If motion controls are not preferred, the slingshot is instead controlled with an analog stick.
This compilation includes exclusive levels that cannot be found in the original games. The game also contains biographies of each bird, except for Hal, Bubbles, and Stella. To ensure that the compilation is considerably up to date with more recent versions of the originally released games, the game received downloadable content, such as the Anger Management Pack and the Fowl Temper Pack, on select platforms.
