I hate AB2 for all the reasons Micromax listed. Lives? Really, Rovio? And cards ? CARDS? Not to mention the waiting to play and the ads that will still have sound even when you have game sounds turned off.
I like that you can pick which bird to play and the graphics look great. That’s about it. I haven’t encountered a spitting flower yet and i doubt I will go back just for that.

I have the original AB, Seasons, Rio and Space. I tried others but was not impressed. What I love about the game is the inventiveness that went into it, the physics involved and the thought process to get to 3 stars. My favorites were the unexpected chain reactions, all the lab levels which had amazing detail, and finding golden eggs, fruit etc. I loved how smart these games were.

I am 64 years old with vision issues. I play on an iPad. I play to exercise my mind. The graphics in the older games were perfect. The ability to start over at any point is absolutely vital. I wouldn’t mind paying a couple of bucks for upgrades and new levels, to to play ad-free. It adds up, you know. You don’t have to try and extort people at every turn.
