Very nice update, I have so many more achievements now!
Looks great! When I first started it up all my "achievements" fired again , prolly telling me they are in GameCenter now.
I like that the achievements are a button on the main screen too
This is the best news I have gotten all day.
I still get lag in game play.
I just beat the whole game. Now who's da man. Nice update by the way.
I'm sorry but, something is off about the graphics resolution in this update, they couldn't have redone all of the images from what I'm seeing
What a great update! love the game center addition.
What happened to the Mighty Eagle? Weren't you supposed to be able to buy it in-app?
Okay, now bring the update to the iPad as well…!
Can't play at all just crashes! Don't want to lose my 3stars across the board:(
@P0150N37RY: The mighty eagle will appear on the nokia platform first. After that, it will appear on the other platforms.
@Matt(sZ) I too have noticed this, seems that only the gameplay elements have been graced with retina goodness, all other menus are still rendered for the older generation displays, hmmmm
Just finished all 15 new levels with 3 stars. When's the next update coming out....
@Ghostface147 f*** nokia, everyone else should get it first. (especially iOS)
No, this is not a full retina-display support. The whole menus and fonts in the game are still low-resolution - just the game-graphics are high-resolution. Dont know why the developers where not able to do high-res menus...
Angry Birds is fantastic game for iOS. But Mighty Eagle made things harder...
@ Marco, I hate when they do that man. I have a powersupport anti glare protector on mine though, so it makes it unnoticeable. For someone like me, who would delete the game over something like that, the protector really helps. lol Maybe try one of them, it'll give you a harder time in telling what isn't perfectly crisp. Looks nice too!
@jason: I own an iPhone 4 and am using a very clear display-protector. Why should I use a bad screen protector, just that all graphics look low-res? lol, funny comment, jason. If they write "Retina Support", then ALL graphics, texts and so on should be in high resolution. Just gameplay has high-res - and that is bad.
Not all the graphics are High-Res...but it's an improvement.
I have an Iphone 4 and I'm getting some lag. Bugs the @#$% out of me. Like the updated graphics.
@Marco it doesn't make everything look bad, it just makes low quality parts of a program become less noticable. It's inherent in most apps I've seen become "retina display ready"
Still haven't figured out why this game is so popular. I'll give it another shot the next time we have a rainy day in Los Angeles.
Just an FYI the golden egg is on the last level and u need to use the boomerang bird to launch it backwards and then it comes back real low and cracks the golden egg! Then u r allowed to play the golden egg level. So in total I've found and have gotten 17 golden eggs. Does anyone know if that's the most golden eggs in the game or have I missed any? Thanks.
