Angry Birds Go! is a new free-to-play kart racing game by Rovio Entertainment, and the newest installment in the Angry Birds line of games. Angry Birds Go! features the angry birds and bad piggies we have grown to love over the past few years. The gameplay and mechanics are very similar to Mario Kart and other kart racers, and the learning curve is quite low for kart racing novices.
Players will be thrown into Piggy Island, which is the first colorful 3D world in the Angry Birds game series. Players have the option of either tilt or touch controls for steering. Tilt controls are very reminiscent to Mario Kart Wii, where players must tilt their iOS device left or right to steer. Touch controls allow players to press either ends of the screen to steer. When beginning the game, players will be guided through a short series of tutorials before jumping into proper tracks.
