Quotes from reviews

- “Island musical theme works extremely well at the title theme in the main menu. The bassoon / clarinet laden orchestral work during the slide shows is also fantastic. In the warehouse, the quiet, ambient nighttime sound effects tickle the ears while the birds squawk away. All in all, the simplicity of the sound effects is perfect for this type of game. “ -VideoGameTalk
- The sound design perfectly captures Brazil’s urban and rural landscapes. Rio de Janeiro’s seedy side comes alive with clinking chains, creaking boards, cries of captured birds, and the murmur of cars rolling by the Smugglers’ Den. In the jungle, monkeys chatter and screech while the calls of birds, frogs, and insects fill the air as you line up your shots. The game’s distinctive theme also comes with a Brazilian-infused twist: the Angry Birds Rio Samba. Together, the sounds and music of Angry Birds Rio will have you dancing in your seat as you slingshot your way to free Blu, Jewel, and their “ -Amazon
