RIM has confirmed that everyone’s favourite mobile game, Angry Birds, is headed to the BlackBerry PlayBook, and it should be available for the PlayBook sometime this summer. This announcement has generated a lot of excitement among BlackBerry PlayBook users who have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on this addictive game.
We don’t know as yet whether Rovio Mobile will be launching a paid version of Angry Birds for the PlayBook, or whether it will be a free version which is supported by adverts like the Android versions of Angry Birds. However, given the popularity of the game, it is likely that both versions might be made available to cater to different user preferences.
The Popularity of Angry Birds
Angry Birds has become one of the most popular mobile games, across multiple platforms which include the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch as well as Android devices. The game, developed by Rovio Mobile, has captivated millions of users worldwide with its simple yet engaging gameplay. Players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the aim of destroying all the pigs on the playing field. The game’s success can be attributed to its intuitive controls, colorful graphics, and the challenge of mastering each level.
The game has also expanded beyond mobile devices. It is available on various gaming consoles, PCs, and even has a presence in the physical world with merchandise such as plush toys, clothing, and board games. The franchise has also inspired an animated series and a feature film, further cementing its place in popular culture.
What to Expect on the PlayBook
The BlackBerry PlayBook version of Angry Birds is expected to deliver the same high-quality experience that fans have come to love on other platforms. The PlayBook’s powerful hardware and high-resolution display should provide a smooth and visually appealing gaming experience. Additionally, the PlayBook’s touch interface is well-suited for the game’s slingshot mechanics, ensuring that players can enjoy the game’s intuitive controls.
One of the key questions that remain is whether the PlayBook version will include any exclusive content or features. Rovio has been known to release special editions of Angry Birds with unique levels and themes, such as the Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Space versions. It would not be surprising if the PlayBook version includes some exclusive content to entice users.
Moreover, the PlayBook’s integration with BlackBerry services could offer some interesting possibilities. For example, users might be able to share their high scores and achievements with friends through BlackBerry Messenger or other social media platforms. This social aspect could add an extra layer of engagement to the game.
The arrival of Angry Birds on the BlackBerry PlayBook is a significant development for both Rovio Mobile and BlackBerry users. It highlights the continued popularity of the game and the PlayBook’s capability as a gaming device. Whether it will be a paid or free version, the game is sure to attract a large number of downloads and provide hours of entertainment for PlayBook users.
