    Peggle is the best selling gem from masters of casual gaming POPCAP . It can be best described as a combination of Pachinko and Pinball and like those two games most of the entertainment comes from the nail biting frantic randomness that determines much of the gameplay. Read more

    I didn’t WANT to do it. In fact, I swore that I’d limit my Peggle time to quick bursts of the iPod version when on the train, lest I become addicted. Every time the Xbox Live Arcade edition was mentioned, I’d cover my ears and pretend that I was in my happy place. Then, Josie from Level256.co.uk told me that everything would be alright, and that I could see it through. So, I paid my money and I took my chance. That was at about 7pm. Read more

    At the end of the day, you’ve not succumbed to the addiction because of a handful of leaderboard features and replay videos. Peggle is a rare, but clear example of a game that utilises a simple concept to create a limitlessly satisfying gameplay experience. There are no end of level bosses, ostentatious cut scenes or superfluous button layouts to memorise, Peggle is simply gameplay refined. Read more

    Peggle almost doubles as a weird psychology experiment. Somehow with extremely simple gameplay that requires little input from the player it manages to be a hugely addictive experience that feels rewarding. Read more

Peggle

Peggle is a game developed by PopCap Games for the Xbox 360 and features a colorful 2D background that is filled with different colored "pegs". It features orange pegs, blue pegs (which have no effect other than increasing the score), purple pegs (which are worth 50 times the amount of the blue pegs), and green pegs (which activate a power-up based on the character the player has selected). The objective in each level is to clear all of the orange pegs by hitting them with a ball shot from the top of the screen. Strategy is applied to bounce the ball off pegs and other obstacles to clear as much of the pegs with the given number of balls. This game even has an option for those who are color blind which adds a triangle to the green pegs and a plus to the purple pegs to make them easier to distinguish. This game has an ESRB: Everyone (E) rating.

Features

Peggle combines elements of pinball, pool and pachinko. The game challenges players to use skill, strategy and luck to clear progressively more difficult levels of orange pegs by firing a small silver ball from the top of the screen. The game features stationary and moving obstacles along with numerous power-ups and special effects combine with dynamically-assigned peg colors. The game also features single-player mode, which consist of 55 levels of ball-bouncing madness, 10 unlockable Peggle Masters, 75 Challenge mode levels, as well as Quick Play Mode and more. Peggle also has two different multiplayer modes, letting the gamer experience Peggle competitively online for the first time ever (TrueSkill™ ranked or player match). The multiplayer mode consists of 2-player Duel Mode, which is playable locally or over Xbox LIVE, and a 4-player Peg Party Mode, which is playable over Xbox LIVE. The game also features online leader boards which spans single player and multiplayer modes, and allows for instant replays of the highest scoring shots to learn a thing or two from true Peggle masters. The game also features 12 Xbox LIVE Achievements, downloadable content support and can be played in 720p high definition graphics and surround sound. Other features on the game are animated backdrops that set the mood for a gamer’s favorite character and a chance for trial experience featuring Adventure, Quick Play and Challenge Modes, which allows players to try out 3 of the 10 available Peggle Masters.
