Angry Birds Rio is the third game in the successful Angry Birds franchise. It is a puzzle game developed by Rovio and Fox Digital Entertainment in 2011.

History and Movie Tie-In

Angry Birds is one of the most successful mobile games. The game has been downloaded to billions of devices. It has entertained people from all around the world. On the other hand, Rio is a 20th Century Fox movie about a captivated macaw named Blu. As a result, Rovio and Fox Digital Entertainment joined forces to create an Angry Birds version showcasing situations from the movie. The main protagonists of both the game and the movie are birds. So it was a natural collaboration.

No Pigs, More Birds

In the original game, birds are flung at egg-stealing pigs using a catapult. The purpose of the game was to bring down the targets with precision shots at the weak points of the structure and kill the pigs. Angry Birds Rio keeps the same game dynamics. However, instead of killing pigs, you will free captivated exotic birds.

In the game, endangered birds have been kidnapped and taken to Rio. Your mission is to free the exotic birds.

Old and New Characters

You will find all the interesting characters from the original game. Red Bird is still the star. This plump and heavy bird with its grumpy expression is always entertaining. Blue Bird always has a happy smile. But it can split into three and triple the damage to the target. White Bird has egg bombs. Yellow Bird can provide speedy attacks. The explosive actions of the birds can bring down the strongest structure.

Of course, the game has also added new characters from the movie. You will find the stars of the movie Blu and Jewel, the exotic and endangered blue macaws. The Angry Birds have to rescue Blu and Jewel from the grips of another movie character Nigel, the villainous cockatoo.

A Better Looking Game

Even though the gameplay hasn’t changed, the developers have improved the graphics. The characters and the background environment has a much more polished look. You will enjoy the clean and crisp interface. The background artwork is more detailed than the previous versions.

Conclusion

Angry Birds Rio doesn’t offer anything revolutionary. However, the developers have managed to preserve the original addictive gameplay while giving it an aesthetic facelift. Also, if you or your kids are a fan of the movie Rio, it will be fun to interact with Blu and Jewel. Overall, it is a fun addition to the Angry Birds franchise.
