Despite being an obvious cash-in and driven solely by the Benjamin’s, this makes better use of the Star Wars license than most, providing a surprisingly charming affair that manages to marry the finest aspects of each franchise without ever feeling like a lazy cash-in.

If this had been released as a download only title on XBLA/PSN/eShop at a reasonable price, honestly, you would be looking at an 8/10. Should I review the game or the price? Tricky. Way to encourage them….idiots! 2) Get past the price (easier said than done), and Angry Birds Star War is actually a rather fantastic videogame and certainly one of the finest Start Wars videogames released in the past decade.Īnd that’s what makes this game so particularly hard to review. Well, maybe not you exactly, but the original Angry Birds Trilogy was also released on console at the same price, and you know what? It sold like bleedin’ hot cakes. Two things in particular make this undeniably greedy price point even harder to bare, 1) it’s your fault. Yes, I’ll admit, the lack of distracting advertisements is relatively pleasant, but that doesn’t even begin to justify what must be the most outrageous price hike in gaming history. I mean really, they didn’t even see fit to include the sequel………is that going to be yet another overpriced released a few months down the line? I wouldn’t be surprised. The outrageous increase in price might (might) have made sense if there had been an array of new content involved, but beyond 20 new levels, the inclusion of the paid DLC and two new multiplayer modes, this is exactly the same game available for the price of a chocolate bar on iOS. While I wouldn’t have been particularly happy with it, I had basically accepted that a £17.99 RRP was all but guaranteed….but £29.99? Come on, how greedy do you have to be?
At just 69p to download the near identical Angry Birds Star Wars on mobile devices, a relatively major price hike was always expected for a fully boxed retail version, but man, 69p to £29.99? Now, that is something else. At what point does cost begin to affect your appreciation of a videogame? I couldn’t tell the exact moment, but what I can tell you is that it comes a long way before you reach Angry Birds Star Wars levels of financial chicanery.
