Angry Birds 2: What Makes This Version Different

Angry Birds are taking flight once again.

The latest edition, Angry Birds 2, includes everything players loved about the first game, with some additional surprises including sharper graphics, multi-stage levels and if you can believe it, even more destruction.

"Angry Birds 2 doubles down on the core tenets of the original that our fans loved: destruction and more destruction!" Patrick Liu, the game's creative director "At the same time it adds a whole new layer of emergent strategy game play for both old and new fans to master."

Another change in the latest version of the game: Players now have the power to choose which bird they hurl at the pigs. Crashing into enough pigs will fill up the Destruct-O-Meter and allow players to earn even more foul to fling.

An arsenal of new spells are also on hand, including blizzards, magic ducks and hot chili peppers.

One potential downside of the game are the in-app purchases needed to quickly revive a character. Players who don't pony up the cash will instead have to wait half an hour for their character to regenerate.
