5.0 out of 5 stars ADDICTIVE BOUNCING FUN!!!, November 27, 2007

This review is from: Peggle (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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Peggle
Love this game. I am not much of a gamer and after a few minutes of playing this game, I became addicted. I played it straight through in one week and beat the game. Even after that, there are challenge levels to keep you entertained. You can email your best shots to your friends (this is my favorite feature). It's not everyday that you come across a game that is as exhilarating as Ode to Joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The purple peg! Aim for the puuuuuurple peg!, June 26, 2008

A combination of Plinko and a Bejeweled-esque game, Peggle is part skill and a lot of luck. I'm not sure about the physics on some of the bounces, but as it often works in my favor, I'm willing to let it slide. Except, of course, when you're playing the computer and it gets all the lucky bounces...

There's a training mode you go through first, which introduces you to all the types of bonus helping bits (for when you hit green pegs) and gives you a feel for the game. Then you move on to the challenges, which range from only slightly harder than the training sessions to virtually impossible. I've not managed to accomplish all of them, but I'm still working on it...

The music is annoyingly catchy, from the background ditty to the triumphant 'Ode de Joy' played when you complete a level. The graphics are simple and very bright, but fit with the feel of the game. The scoring is... complicated and I have no idea how it's done.

If you're a fan of Bejeweled, JewelQuest, Hexic, or the like you will love (and probably get slightly addicted to) Peggle. Highly recommended.
