Big, Arcade-Style Challenges for Strategic Thinkers
Your favorite chaotic, pachinko-style pinball game is back. Action-packed and family-friendly, this game will quickly find you sending balls flying at strategically located bricks, pegs, and obstacles to score points and show off your unique skills and style. And the advanced physics of previous Peggle games is still at work, which means the trajectory of each bouncing ball is intricately calculated, and the results of a shot may change if your aim is off even the slightest bit. The precision with which angles are used here also means that you'll find math-practice and strategic planning hidden in what seems like a simple game of chance.

Colorful Pegs and Cool Super Powers
You'll find pegs and bricks of different colors that unlock cool powers, and once you hit all 25 orange pegs on a level, you will activate Ultra Extreme Fever mode, win an All Pegs Cleared Ribbon, and move on to the next level of play. The ability to win points for cool or tricky shots adds an extra element to any contest, while the fast, family-friendly action of 60 adventurous levels and 60 Challenges keeps things interesting and engaging over the long haul. There's even a duel mode that lets you go head to head with the computer or take on a friend and establish grounds for bragging rights.

Unique Artwork and the Hidden Secrets of Magical Masters
In the course of your Peggle training at the Institute, you'll also enjoy the backdrop set by a fantastical world, and you'll meet ten unique Peggle Masters. From Bjorn, the Super Guide unicorn, to Kat Tut and the Renfield Pumpkin, master of Spooky Ball, these quirky, personable characters have their own specialties and magic powers, adding depth to the strategic elements of each contest. Fans of the original game will be sure to enjoy the way each master takes on a special "undercover" style after sunset, starting with the revelation of Bjorn's mask, cape, and adventurous, justice-seeking ways.

And, of course, the unique, illustration-inspired artwork packed with bold colors that is responsible for Peggle's truly magical feeling is back at work in this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADDICTIVE BOUNCING FUN - NOW WITH ITS AddOn!!!, March 26, 2009

This review is from: Peggle Nights (CD-ROM)

This is the most successful cross between Patchinko and Pinball! It will have you laughing and shouting at the damn bouncing ball...

At every level there is a number of colored pegs that have to be hit in order to clear the level. They are amongst generic pegs that is OK to hit yet will hinder your access to the colored ones you have to clear - and you have only a limited number of shooting balls.
Every time you shoot a ball it gets used - unless you are lucky to fall into an oscillating bucket and gets recycled. There are also special pegs that give you special abilities for a limited time.
I am afraid I am not doing justice to the game - if it sounds complicated it is not. You pick it up in a minute and it is GREAT FUN!

This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.

Anybody can make a good game that will run only on a super-computer. This is an example of pure programming genius!

If you already own Peggle keep in mind that this version only extends the original with some extra levels and a new "superpower". It is not its sequel - so decide accordingly.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for all ages - and better than the original!, March 26, 2009

This review is from: Peggle Nights (CD-ROM)

For a simple concept - clear the colored balls off of each screen - this is an amazingly addictive game for casual gamers of all ages. It's simple and dramatic enough to entertain even the youngest players, but has enough strategy and thought needed to achieve higher challenges to please any adult.

If you've played the original Peggle, this version is even better and more addictive because:

- The graphics are more dramatic and entertaining, with a tale that weaves them together.

- There is much more continued playability with this version. There are screens you work through to clear the colored balls and release a superpower, exceed a best score to achieve an "Ace Award", and clear all the pegs to receive a 100% clear award. When you achieve the ace award or the 100% clear award for ALL of the screens - you receive a trophy. While, that's enough to keep anyone addictively attached to their computer for far too long, there's also a large group of separate challenges (like clearing a screen using only 2 balls), which you'll receive another trophy for if you can complete them all.

- There's a new superpower in this one - the Electrobolt. Though it's interesting to try and needed for a few screens, it's not my favorite one.

BOTTOM LINE: If you've been addicted to Peggle before - you're going to like Peggle Nights even more! If you haven't tried Peggle before, but in general like puzzle games like Tetris, Zuma or Bejeweled - you are absolutely going to enjoy this one! But, be forewarned: this game is incredibly addictive and some screens may leave you talking to (or yelling at) your computer!

This is a fun game for all ages. It doesn't require a lot of skill, you don't have to kill anything, it just a fun game. My whole family likes to play it. My 21 year old son is always trying to out score me, my hubby is always trying to get more boards completely cleared...my 10 year old niece comes over and she likes it, even got my 70 year old dad hooked on it.
