![]() ![]() Angry Birds Star Wars II (plus Telepods): PricingĪngry Birds Star Wars II itself is a 99c Universal app for iOS or either free (ad-supported) or $1.09 (ad-free) for Android devices. The Captain Panaka figure seems particularly prone to being fussy about detection. I found I often had to roll them over the camera a few times before they’d get picked up. The Telepods can be fiddly to use, depending on the camera and positioning of the device in question. Then wriggle a bit to the left… then the right. Bad Piggies was an interesting way to tackle the pig story, but in Angry Birds Star Wars II, it’s just pigs hurling themselves at birds for ill-defined reasons instead. Even the inclusion of the “Pork Side”, where you play as the pigs doesn’t change that up much. Questions of taste aside, this is still just yet more Angry Birds. You should be able to work out why that’s a minus. There’s a lot of Star Wars material out there, but for Angry Birds Star Wars II, Rovio’s opted for the prequel trilogy. ![]() Angry Birds Star Wars II (plus Telepods): On the minus side It’s basically an IAP model with physical toys, so it’s very Skylanders (or if you prefer, Disney Infinity) indeed. You can only use a Telepod (or purchased in bird, if you don’t want to go down the toy bird route) once per level, to keep things balanced, and you can’t use a Pig in a Bird level, or vice versa. You can only do so from within each level, hitting the “T” shaped icon to swap your toy bird in for the suggested bird. One quick tip here: The box for the Star Destroyer just says “scan them into the app”, but it’s not at all clear where you do that, probably because the toys were released well before the app itself was. What about the Telepods and their much-hyped scanning ability? This comes down to, of all things, teeny tiny QR codes printed on the unmentionable side of each bird, and a magnifying stand that you plop each bird onto in order to scan them in.
