Lots of modes to play!
Loads of upgrades!

We need a far better kart game on Android than this. Missed opportunity.
Features:
Angry Birds Go! is a fun racing game based on Angry Birds. You scamper around numerous tracks racing piggies to the finish lines. There are also other stages where you have 1v1 races against fellow birds and another where you smash fruit up for points. You collect coins as you race too, which then can be used to upgrade your rickety kart into something a bit speedier.
You can choose to control your vehicle using either tilt or on screen buttons. I like the fact you’ve got some choice here and preferred the tilt control for accuracy. The game offers just the right level of challenge too, not too hard but then not too easy either. It takes some practice but with the intuitive controls, it doesn’t take too long.
Varied stages, great graphics and addictive gameplay makes this a refreshing Angry Birds game if you’re sick of the physics-based pursuit of its predecessors.
Essentially, Angry Birds Go is where Rovio has a go at creating a Mario-Kart game using their popular Angry Birds characters. The engine they have created is really good- the karts are easy to control and it’s generally fun to race them around the tracks. There is a distinct ladder as you progress through characters and stages, unlocking content as you go. However, I’m still left with a feeling that the developers have really missed a trick- this could have been so much more.
Android, in my opinion, needs a really good kart game. In many ways, Angry Birds Go! could be that, but without tournaments, multi-player options or straightforward racing in a competitive and accumulative way, it really lacks the platform to race properly. Add to this the fact that the game is wholly free and generates money from in-app purchases, means your progress is stunted from the word go. There’s a fair bit of gameplay to be had, but you’ll soon face that wall of commitment where you need real cash to make progress.
Like many freemium games, this is a missed opportunity to make something truly fantastic
In summary, Angry Birds Go! could have been so much more than it is. Familiar characters, great graphics and sound, it’s additive, fun and well designed in terms of mechanics and the cool 3D environment (a first for the Angry Birds), mean for automatic familiarity and the platform to make something epic. However, there are a number of games derailed by the quest for money and the structure of the game; preset stages with specific goals, really restrict the potential.
Rovio need to make this a paid game, level the playing field, remove all the pointless fruit-smashing levels and let us race characters in proper tournaments with more than one lap of the track. I just hope they see sense and update the game with these kind of options as this feels like a seriously missed opportunity.
