As expected, Rovio, the makers of hugely popular Angry Birds series has just released their kart racing game Angry Birds Go!.
The game includes the familiar bird and pig characters participating in a downhill racing game set on a “3D piggy island” with upgrades and special powers.
Here’s a brief description of the game and features from the App Store:
Welcome to downhill racing on Piggy Island! Feel the rush as you fling those freewheeling birds and piggies down the track at breakneck speed – with plenty of twists and turns in a thrilling race to the finish line! But beware!

I am not a big fan of the Angry Birds series, but the game looks like fun, so looking forward to playing it.
The game is available for free, but some of the upgrades and content is available via in-app purchase, which are priced from $1.99 for the Jenga game to $49.99 for Big Bang Special edition.
The app is universal so you can play the game on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but Rovio has mentioned that iPod touch 4G is not officially supported currently.
