Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio - Angry Birds Rio, a stand-alone edition tying into the release of the 20th Century Fox animated film Rio, was launched for iOS, Android and Mac OS X in March 2011.  In this version, the Angry Birds characters appear in Rio de Janeiro and interact with characters from the film.  Angry Birds Rio initially includes two chapters, each with 30 levels; the Angry Birds rescue caged exotic birds in the first chapter and attack evil marmosets in the second and third chapters. The game also includes new hidden items and planned level updates in May, July, October and November 2011. A new "bird" that is exclusive so far to Rio is actually the films main characters, Blu and Jewel, tied together. When launched, Blu keeps them airborne until the player opts to tap the screen, causing Jewel to start flying and rush forward, similar to the yellow bird. The reception of Angry Birds Rio has been positive, with Ryan Rigney of GamePro saying the iOS version "boasts some notable improvements on its predecessors" and Levi Buchanan of IGN, in his review of the Android version, calling the game "a smart, snappy new chapter for the series".  Since release, Angry Birds Rio has been downloaded more than 10 million times.The first planned update, a new chapter called Beach Volley, was released in May 2011 and included 30 new game levels.
