I hear so many people talk about it, and I have friends that were enamoured with it. One of my friend let me try it on his phone, and honesly I got through four levels and got bored. Is AB really better then a decent console/pc game

I don't get it either, it's not a fun game. I played a bit of it and got so bored. An iphone game will never be as good as a full console game, they're in 2 completely different leagues.

I play it from time to time as a distraction, though I'll more often use my smart phone to surf the web while mobile, my brother though is addicted to Angry Birds, trying to 3 star every level.

No. I can see it being fantastic for those with short attention spans (i.e. young children)... but otherwise, I'm not sure why it has been so successful. Even my GF, who loves simple, casual-friendly games, gets bored of Angry Birds in a couple minutes.

My personal perspective? Absolutely not. I have the first AB on my phone and Seasons on my iPad. Neither of them are very much fun - more frustrating than anything. I always feel like it would make more sense for them to give you just one more bird or just take away some of the pigs. Instead you wind up attempting the same level over and over again, restarting because you messed up a shot, etc. Not a good experience.

It's garbage, and unfortunately the poster child of iPhone games, so ignorant people can act like there's no good game on the iPhone.

I can't play it for more than 5 minutes. It's incredibly boring. I have more fun playing Atari Pong to be honest.

I don't think it's that fun, but when riding the subway or out on a lunch break by my self it's a nice little way to kill the time.

It's to mediocre and simplistic to last me more than a couple of minutes, and there are much better flash games with much more content out there that i usually play.

Get off your high horse. Games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope sell as well as they do for a reason. They're highly polished, fun to play, and get continued developer support for free with new levels and features. By "compelling gaming experience" I'm assuming you mean something like Uncharted or Bioshock. Reality check here, that's not what Angry Birds is marketed as. It's a 99 cent time killer meant to be played 5-30 minutes at a time. This isn't a blockbuster Hollywood movie, it's a funny Youtube video that has a lot of views.

It's ok for about 10 mins but after that it's rather tedious. Better than nothing on a 10 minute bus journey i guess.

It has basically the kind of fun as in when you don't have anything to do so you look for something "fun" to do(and almost anything to do becomes "fun" because you make it so). For people that can be called gamers, that have a somewhat refined taste for gaming will hardly find it fun, maybe for short bursts of like 10 minutes or something, before it becomes dull.

I have not played it that much, but I dont see what all the rage is about. Ok maybe it is fun, but its nothing i havent seen done thousands of times before online and even older retail games. It just had the luck of the draw.

I didn't find it fun (based off of my playtime with the trial version on the iOS app store).

I have the trial on my WM7 phone, and it's pretty fun. Oddly enough, I love Minesweeper a ton more on my phone... which my lady finds to be the most annoying and aggravating game on the planet. Probably because she is terrible at it though.

It's polished and fun for a short time. But It lacks variety outside of the golden egg stages though and it would be better if you can do things like change the order of projectiles that you could use or what projectiles you could use.

No. And if it is, then you should play Crush the Castle.
