Angry Birds Action!

Angry Birds Action! is a pinball-action game in the Angry Birds series to promote The Angry Birds Movie.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The idea of having an Angry Birds-themed pinball game is a well executed idea.
 * 2) The Big Pig Update was an improvement as it made Piggy Island available from the start, added new pigs to the game and featured a song from De La Soul called Action.
 * 3) The game had a very catchy theme song. See it for yourself.
 * 4) The BirdCodes were a well executed idea as you could scan BirdCodes in the real world with the game to access mini-games, take a selfie with the characters from the game, and more.
 * 5) You could also use the game to scan an inaudible digital watermark which depending on the version of the film you're watching plays an exclusive scene and unlocks a special feature.
 * 6) While the movie wasn't as good, this game was still decent. Does it remind you of another game?

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of the pigs' designs such as Corporal Pig's look a bit ugly.
 * 2) The story was unfortunately removed in the Big Pig Update.
 * 3) Judge Peckinpah was still a bit unlikeable in this game but not as much in the movie.

Reception
The game received positive reception from reviewers according to Metacritic with a 75% rating on the site while the user score is 4.2/10 on the same site which is generally unfavorable reviews.

Trivia
