@3 I get stuck quite a bit sometimes. Esp with Rio. Damn monkeys. I hate those little laughing jerks. Although I have to say, some of the levels in Rio are a bit easy, but in seasons? OMG. Some I still can’t figure out.

Biggest launch since the original? Did that have a big launch? It was relatively unknown until the masses made it the poster boy it is today.

I honestly don’t understand the hype for this game. And I’ve actually TRIED to play it, back when I had my iPhone 4 and even now on my new Galaxy SII. Still the same boring game to me. Guess I’m in the minority like a few of you guys appear to be as well though lol.
