  Angry Birds Star Wars isn’t a bad game. While it does suffer from a few issues here and there, it’s an enjoyable experience overall. Nevertheless, it’s a good game sold at a bad price, and one which doesn’t reflect value for money; the exclusive content and subpar multiplayer mode do not merit the considerable jump in price.

  Angry Birds Star Wars is even more expensive on Xbox One, and that hurts. The extra $10 this version costs is insulting as it really should only be that much for the whole package. The crisper visuals and weekly challenges are nice, but if you already own it elsewhere, there is zero reason to upgrade to the next generation of Angry Birds.

  The sci-fi theme and George Lucas-inspired powers freshen up the experience somewhat, but this is still fundamentally the same game that you’ve played before. There is a decent amount of content to work through when you factor in the exclusive levels and multiplayer modes, but the price is outrageous when you consider that you can buy the majority of the title for significantly less on a smartphone or tablet device.

  Angry Birds Star Wars is playable with a controller or Kinect, though the motion controls remain fussy and inadvisable even on Xbox One.

  4.0

  Angry Birds: Star Wars is a game most definitely suited to its mobile and tablet gaming origins, and feels awkwardly out of place on the PS3. While Star Wars and Angry Birds fans alike will undoubtedly love it for its smile-inducing use of the franchise's license and typically addictive gameplay, that doesn't change the fact that it's essentially just a very expensive remix of a mobile game with a new, intergalactic lick of paint.

  4.0

  But be warned: once you take possession of the game, much like the wooden Loki mask from the Jim Carrey film “The Mask,” the only way to rid yourself of the Angry Birds: Star Wars curse is to trickily pass it on to another host. At the end of the day, Angry Birds: Star Wars isn’t a bad game, but a great one that has unfortunately been exploited to take advantage of console launch madness.
