Angry Birds Go! Jenga Trophy Cup Challenge Game Review

Last week I reviewed Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack Game, recently I purchased another Angry Birds Go! toy, Jenga Trophy Cup Challenge, which I am going to review in this post.
Before review, as always let me tell you what parts were present in the box.
The box had 1 yellow bird, one kart, 3 pigs, 1 ramp, 7 blocks, 1 base, 1 crown topper and an instruction sheet.
Now let us proceed to my thoughts on Angry Birds Go! Jenga Trophy Cup
Playing Experience:
I played this game with my 3 year old niece and we had a great time assembling the set and launching the bird to bombard the trophy.  The launcher is really good and hence the kart which carries the bird moved very fast. We were able to play continuously for an hour without getting bored.
Build Quality:
Like Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack, the quality of plastic is really good for the launcher 
and the kart. I expect the game's life to be many years if kept out of harm's way.
Verdict:
Angry Birds Go! Jenga Trophy Cup Challenge Game is must buy if you are an Angry Birds fan and love fast moving karts like me. I will give this game 4.5/5 especially for its replay value.

Angry Birds Go! Telepods - Pig Rock Raceway Set Review

I have been ordering Angry Birds Go! merchandise through Amazon, as a part of my mission to use these angry birds go! toys and review them :)
The latest Angry Birds Go! toy that I am going to review is the Angry Birds Go! Telepods - Pig Rock Raceway Set. In case you are not familiar about Angry Birds Go! telepods you can check this post to get more details.
I ordered my pig rock raceway few days back and got it delivered yesterday. The game costs 29.99$ in amazon.The box had three pigs(I love Bad piggies :D) which you can use as main obstacle, racing track which is 35 inches long(advertised as 40 but in real it is 35 inches only), two cars one having the red bird and the other with the pig, launcher, instruction manual and some cool stickers. There is also a telepod stand which is shaped like a trophy and you can use it to teleport the cars into the angry birds go! game when it launches on December 11.

Set Up:
Setting up Angry Birds Go Pig Rock Raceway is very easy. You can blindly follow the instructions and can assemble the track and set the obstacles in under 5 minutes. Once it is done, its time to race.
Playing Experience:

I played the game with my friend for an hour and had a great time. I first raced as green pig and then swapped to red bird after half an hour. Both the cars ran very smooth and the tracks were amazing. We hit the pirate pig most of the time and raised the flag to win.My friend played better than me, but I expect to defeat him next time when he turns up to my place, as I have been practicing for some time.
Build:  
The cars which takes maximum wear and tear is very nicely built and it has bearing on the bottom for smooth movement on tracks. Also I was able to see the QR sticker in the bottom of the car, that would be read through the telepod stand to my iPhone when I use it for teleporting the cars to the game. The tracks and the obstacles are made of rigid plastic and can last a life time.
Verdict:
 Angry Birds Go! Telepods - Pig Rock Raceway Set is a must have racing toy for Angry Birds fans and I thank Rovio for doing a commendable job :) I give this game a solid 5

Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack Game Review


I recently purchased Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack game through Amazon as part of my experiment to review all Angry Birds Go! Merchandise. I have never played with any Angry Birds toys before so I was very excited to test it. Amazon shipped me the angry birds go! toy in a day and I received it on 23rd October.

Before giving my review, let me tell you what I found in the pack.
The box had 2 karts, a bird, 5 pigs, launcher, ship base, both left and right ship frames, left, right and center railing piece, 5 canon balls, 2 half blocks and 11 full sized blocks, mast with crow's nest, flag with stand and sail stand.
There was also an instruction paper, but I did not bother to open that :)
Now let us proceed to my thoughts on Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pig Attack
Playing Experience:
I played the game with my three year old niece for quite sometime, she is 9 years old and loves angry birds characters, especially bad piggies. I built the ship with 5 pigs and she tried to topple the ship with the bird using the launcher and the ramp. She succeeded in her third attempt. We took turns to build the ship and kept score to see who topples the Jenga Pirate Pig ship maximum number of times, I made my niece win maximum number of times to make her happy :D
 Build Quality:
 Now coming to the build, karts are quite solid for the price and I am sure it will last long after seeing the way my niece used it (ha ha ). Pigs and ships mast felt very cheap, but I cannot expect more for the money.
Verdict:
Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack is a very nice Angry Birds go! toy and I will give a solid 4/5 for its build and replay value.

Angry Birds Go! as we all know is a Mario kart style racing game coming for both iOS and android on December 11. The game is developed by Rovio who are very famous for their other Angry Birds games.

After seeing the trailer of Angry Birds Go! I am very confident that this game is going to be so much fun to play, especially for people who loved playing mario kart. I cannot wait to play the game using Bad Piggies which is my favorite character :)
