It's not really a bad game it's just that it's been done many times before and it's definitely nothing new and Rovio just got lucky that it got as popular as it is right now.

Angry Birds isn't intended to be the "next big thing" like Assassins Creed III or Bioshock Infinite. It was purely intended as a little gimmicky physics toy for people with smartphones. For a casual game they did very well and inspired a lot of other smartphone developers.

Angry Birds was lucky to get popular, and this is the case for many games. Minecraft, Wastelander 2, etc. The hardest thing for any company is to keep a franchise alive. So many times a franchise dies or fails to remain popular. In ten years time, "Angry Birds" may be a phrase that everyone forgets about. Only time will tell.

You can't compare Angry Birds to Minecraft like that. Minecraft did really unique things that people loved. AB was more of a right place, right time thing.

I don't really see anything wrong with this. I'm not going to buy it, but at least they're mixing it up a little for the people that want it.

Minecraft has probably been one of the most unique games in recent years and Angry Birds just isn't as original. Sure the Raving Rabbit like bird characters are unique but gameplay wise, it's just Crush the Castle.

Maybe I was slightly harsh with my criticisms. As a casual game, it's real fun. it's not a awful game.
