You can choose between tilt or touch steering, both of which are very easy to use. Playing Angry Birds Go! is great fun, thanks in no small part to its simple control system.

The waits aren't generally that long, and if you have plenty of characters unlocked it's not so bad. You won't be able to play with a driver unless you wait a few minutes or pay to boost their energy. The main use of gems are to rejuvenate the energy levels of your drivers, which run out after a few races. Coins needed for upgrading your kart can be won by replaying levels, but gems are harder to come by. The freemium model of Angry Birds Go! isn't as crippling as you'll find in other big free to play games. Besides winning gems and coins from racing, Angry Birds Go! offers you the chance to purchase them through the game. You'll also accrue gems, which can be exchanged for speed boosts, power-ups, and replenishing energy.

You'll need to keep upgrading since the entry requirements for races demand increasingly high engine power. These can be exchanged for upgrades to your vehicle or new karts. The idea of Angry Birds Go! is to collect coins as you race. There's no online or head-to-head multiplayer over WiFi like in Sonic and SEGA All Stars, nor a 'battle mode' like in Mario Kart. There are also various new challenges to complete once you've finished the races on a particular stage, as well as Facebook integration so you can challenge your buddies' high scores. There's no local multiplayer play over WiFi, though, like in Sonic and SEGA All Stars, nor a 'battle mode' like in Mario Kart. There are five Races, Time Bombs and Fruit Splats per stage.Īngry Birds Go now includes an online multiplayer, where you can race other players from around the world, or beat your Facebook buddies, like in Real Racing 3. The race modes in each stage include: Race (standard race against other characters where you must finish third or above), Time Bomb (finish the race before the bomb goes off), Fruit Splat (splat a given number of fruits before the finish line), Versus (head-to-head with one other character), and Champion Chase (battle against the unlockable character where you must win three times to 'own them). All of your favorites are in there, including Stella, Bomb and The Blues. You start Angry Birds Go! as Red Bird in a basic kart and must play through the various race modes in each stage in order to unlock the new character from that stage and open up the next stage (progressing further opens up new content packs). There are even real world toys that can be used with Angry Birds Go!, such as Telepods and a tie-in with Angry Birds Jenga! The game rarely gets boring, thanks to the variety of race modes, drivers, cars, courses, and power-ups. The basic principle of Angry Birds Go! is simple - get around each track as fast as you can.
