It’s actually a little hard to believe that Angry Birds took this long to get an augmented reality outing. If you think about it, those past-their-peak-but-still-really-famous birds have long been about flinging themselves at structures, and that’s a mechanic that was crying out to be done up in AR. Happily, that’s exactly what Rovio has done with Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs (Free). Now you can act like you’re firing your feathered friends in your house, out walking around on the street, or pretty much anywhere you have a flat surface.
And really, that’s all you need. Isle of Pigs is very much a throwback to the early days of Angry Birds in the sense that there’s a minimum of extraneous distractions, It’s just you and your slingshot for the most part, trying to figure out how to take out those pesky pigs in as few shots as possible. The secret sauce for this game is the level design and how it puts the AR features to the best possible use. Once you take in what we’ve laid out in this guide. you’ll be better equipped to start wrecking stuff wherever you like. Ladies and gentlemen, to your slingshots!
