Rovio today released the sequel to the original Angry Birds, appropriately being called Angry Birds 2. While Rovio has launched multiple flavours of the original Angry Birds since their release in 2009, none of them were proper sequel to the game. 

The sequel of the world’s most popular game features new levels, new birds and piggies, and new strategies. Rovio boasts that Angry Birds 2 “starts a new era of slingshot gameplay with super stunning graphics, challenging multi-stage levels, scheming boss pigs and even more destruction.”

The Angry Birds are back in the sequel to the biggest mobile game of all time! Angry Birds 2 starts a new era of slingshot gameplay with super stunning graphics, challenging multi-stage levels, scheming boss pigs and even more destruction.

CHOOSE YOUR BIRD!
It’s the ultimate slingshot strategy – YOU choose which bird to fling next! “But that makes it easier, right?” WRONG! You’ll need to choose wisely if you’re going to stop those eggs from getting scrambled. Plus, destroy blocks to fill up the Destruct-O-Meter and earn extra birds!

NEW MULTI-STAGE LEVELS!
You’ve never seen Piggy Island like this – jaw-droppingly stunning levels brimming with exotic plants, quirky details and plenty of peril. And because those naughty porkies are building their teetering towers right under your beak, many levels have multiple stages. Uh oh.

SPECTACULAR SPELLS!
Blizzards, Hot Chilis, Golden Ducks and other outrageous spells give you an added advantage against those swindling swine. And when you need some serious help, guess who’s at hand to make a pork-smashing cameo? That’s right, it’s the sardine loving Mighty Eagle. Oh yeah!

CHALLENGE OTHER PLAYERS!
Challenge players from across the world in the Arena to see who’s the most hardcore bird flinger of them all. Play new tournaments every day, earn feathers to level up your birds and face off against the toughest competition on the planet. Game face!

DEFEAT BOSS PIGGIES!
There’s some serious bad guys on Piggy Island, and your slingshot skills are needed to take them down. Foreman Pig, Chef Pig and the infamous King Pig will stop at nothing to keep your eggs. Are you gonna let ‘em get away with that? It’s time to teach the pork a lesson.

Like other Angry Birds offerings from Rovio, Angry Birds 2 is completely free to download and play, but is filled with IAPs. You are given a limited number of gems and if you run out of them, you will have to either promote the game on social networking sites, watch an ad or buy them from Rovio. Nonetheless, the IAPs don’t ruin what is ultimately a fun game to kill your time.
