Its the latest sensation that's sweeping the nation - its flappy bird! The hard broiled, competitive, point-scoring, bird-flapping, rage-inducing AAA mobile game. Its gameplay is innovative and controversial; there has never been another game quite like it. Now, before you invest your precious time on the toilet playing it, you probably want to know what the verdict is from the critics.
IGN - 5.4/10
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/08/flappy-bird-reviewFlappy Bird isn't a good video game. It's arguably not even a fun one. But its no-frills approach and exacting, relentlessly repetitious gameplay make it an addictive short-term distraction for the skill and score-obsessed.
USgamer - 1/5
http://www.usgamer.net/articles/flappy-bird-ios-review-18-million-players-cant-be-wrong-rightA certain addictive or compulsive quality isn't sufficient to make a genuinely good game, sadly; Flappy Bird is addictive and compulsive in the same way that popping bubble wrap is addictive and compulsive. It may be immediately satisfying to waste your time with it in the short term, but when you look back on how your day went, you'll find yourself wishing you'd used those hours for something more productive or stimulating.

http://www.gamezebo.com/games/flappy-bird/reviewFlappy Bird is simultaneously everything that’s right and wrong about video games. You’ll play it, you’ll obsess over it, but you’ll never really like it.
