    Peggle is a drug. But a good one. And with no special "after effects." [June 2009, p.94]

    There are many reasons why Peggle is a must own but the best has to be the sheer number of hours you will put in playing this. PopCap knows how to make some insane crazy addicting games and to be sure this is their best.

    No matter what the reason is, Peggle is absolutely worth the $10 price tag.

    Peggle is a colourful, highly addictive puzzle style game that the whole family will absolutely love. The online multiplayer modes make it that much better, and it's a worthy investment for anyone who wants something a bit simpler to wind down with.

    Peggle is pure happiness distilled into a low-cost digital download.

    It's a very easy game to pick up and enjoy.

    It's just a shame you'll lose all interest in friends or sleep when in Peggle's inescapable grasp. [Issue#45, p.101]

    I can forgive some of the lame cartoon characters that serve as the guides in this game - they become so arbitrary in comparison to the whole I can forgive some of the lame cartoon characters that serve as the guides in this game - they become so arbitrary in comparison to the whole package. And what a package Peggle is. The pachinko-on-drugs concept is simple. The execution is fantastic. It was a ton of fun on the iPod, and on a powerhouse like the XBox 360, the bells and whistles make this game even better. PopCap has become masters at making what videogames should be - fun, addictive, and dare I say it - classic.… Expand

    Much better than it has a right to be. I don't like Bust a Groove or similar seemingly strategy-void puzzlers, but Peggle is impossible Much better than it has a right to be. I don't like Bust a Groove or similar seemingly strategy-void puzzlers, but Peggle is impossible not to like. The physics, sound design, and writing -- things usually all but ignored in this genre -- excel to a point that you're hooked on the ball-dropping action.… Expand

    Peggle is down-right addictive. There are a few good games worth your purchase on xbox live and this is certainly one of them. The first time Peggle is down-right addictive. There are a few good games worth your purchase on xbox live and this is certainly one of them. The first time I downloaded this game I started playing and...opps its 4 in the morning! I thought that the appeal would not last long but it does. After pulling you in, you will eventually call it quits and need a peggle detox (unless you like dreaming in Peggle). But sooner or later you'll once again hear the call to test your luck against others who have risen to the challege. Ain't no party like a peggle party!… Expand

The goal isPeggle is a game that on Xbox 360 is good, but maybe a little too short. The gameplay is basically Pachinko with special powers. The goal is to destroy some red pegs in the field, and it's incredibly addictive. The game has a cheery atmosphere, but is basically the same game as the PC version with online mode. The graphics are ok, and the soundtrack is ok too, but even then the music when you win is almost humorously epic. Adding almost nothing new in comparison to other PopCap's games, I think you should get the game on the Plants vs Zombies DVD collection that includes this game, Zuma and PvZ, unless you already have some of this games.… Expand

Amusant ouUne suite inutile du jeu de pachinko casse-briques et casse-boules aussi répétitive que le premier et toujours aussi aléatoire. Amusant ou plutôt bizarrement hypnotique pendant un temps limité, il se montre usant et superficiel à plus long terme, toujours accompagné de ses effets sonores idiots et enfantins et de sa musique prise de tête. Graphiquement horrible bien entendu, comme tout jeu indé qui ne se respecte pas.… Expand
