The object of Siege Hero is to destroy the bad guys by throwing things at their structures. All of this is done in first, instead of third person - that is the only thing that separates it from being an exact copy of Angry Birds. You can zoom aim for extreme precision, not that you really need to as the first few dozen levels are all terribly easy.
I achieved a gold crown on them without any effort on my part.
Eventually the game does get more difficult, with hostages, tougher buildings, and the like.

The Good:

- Graphics in this game really are top notch, almost Angry Birds quality. The cartoony, hand drawn look really suits all the destruction that happens on screen. The animations are also quite good, with nice big puffy smoke clouds, and debris flying all over the screen.

- Sound and music are above average, mostly upbeat tunes and cool explosion/destruction sounds.

- You are allowed to zoom in for accurate shots.

- There is a huge number of levels here, numbering in the hundreds.

The Bad:

- The game starts off incredibly easy, but eventually ramps up the difficulty to an insane level, almost forcing you to purchase Buster Bombs (that pretty much instantly clear the level for you). All of this is done with one touch because of the built in permissions. You can buy 5 for $.99 or get a "good deal" and buy 15 for just $1.99. Wow, classy.

- There is a delay between when you clear (or lose) a level and the game actually registering it. Sometimes this can take up to a few seconds. It gets very annoying as the game has a lot of levels.

- There are plenty of fake five star reviews all over the Amazon page. These are all coming from people with one or two reviews. Shameful. Because of this, I am also expecting a lot of downvotes. Hopefully you mange to find my review somewhere toward the bottom of the "unhelpful" heap.

- There is built in Facebook and Twitter integration that allow you to brag about your achievements while advertising the game.

- The physics are really screwed up and it's not uncommon to encounter floating structures with no support.

The Ugly:

- You are peppered with a giant, full screen, and in your face ad for MINICLIP.COM - where you can PLAY ONLINE GAMES. This thing is displayed every time you start up Siege Hero and stays there for a good six seconds. Not quite as ad free as advertised.

- This game has a triple threat of permissions for instant IAP:
- com.android.vending.BILLING - Allows for (one touch) IAP.
- Open network sockets - Gives this app free range internet access
- Access information about networks - Lets the app do exactly what this permission sounds like.
This is a SINGLE PLAYER GAME. The only reason these permissions are even here in the first place is for social media integration and IAP.

While I think Siege Hero is worth the free download, I can't see myself paying for a game with so many issues.
If you have children, make sure to put your device in airplane mode (or root it and install ad/traffic blocking software) before handing it over, because buying bombs really is quite easy.

good game, but you cannot win several rounds due to a delay at beginning of levels. for example, on 2-28 it is impossible to explode a bomb before the cart makes contact, killing one of the chicks that you cannot afford to kill and still get the gold crown.

Pretty much everything we love to hate about an app is here. I was motivated to post an honest review to counter all the fake 5-star reviews by Miniclip.com. I won't go into detail about what other reviewers have already stated so well. The ads, in-app purchasing for the complete game, excessive permissions and Open Feint, completely unoriginal concept and the constant stream of fake reviews reveal a very shady developer that you should not trust with access to your device.
