Game Review

The Peggle Masters Are Back

If you've ever taken a trip to Tokyo, there's a good chance that you may have come across a pachinko parlor at some point. At first glance, these addictive machines may look like upside down pinball machines with a side of slot machine mayhem, but they're much more powerful than that. There's no wonder that so many people in Japan can spend hours on end sitting in front of a pachinko machine, shooting balls up the shaft and watching them bounce around the pegs to the bottom.
That was the concept that lay beneath the original Peggle, but the game developers took the concept so much further by introducing us to a number of colorful characters, fantastic backgrounds, and unique powerups. You could learn a lot from those Peggle Masters, but you have you ever visited the Institute after dark? That's when the real magic occurs and that's where you find yourself today. Get ready for a fresh addiction.

Entering a World of Dreams

During the day, the Peggle Masters are busy teaching their students how to perform all sorts of different magical spells, but what do they do at night? They sleep, of course, and while they are sleeping, they have some of the most fantastical dreams, far beyond the imagination of mere mortals.
Follow Bjorn the Unicorn and the rest of the Peggle crew as you dive into their respective psyches and explore their underlying interests. Did you know that the otherwise scary-looking Renfield has a knack for the art world. The backgrounds and stages are all based on popular pieces of art when you encouter Renfield's section of the game. Each character is different, offering new adventures and new powers, but the same tried and true formula of action puzzle action.

Orange, Green, Purple, Blue...

Perhaps one of the reasons why Peggle and Peggle Nights are such great games is that it is able to span the great divide between heart-thumping fast-paced action and a slower, methodical strategy. That's because while there is no time limit on each level along the way, you are limited to tne number of balls you can deploy. Be strategic and plan your moves carefully, but as soon as that shot is deployed, you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat!
Each of the colored pegs is a little different in nature. Your ultimate goal is to clear the field of all the orange pegs, but what do those other colors mean? The blue pegs are simply there to increase the challenge, but what about the green and purple ones? The purple pegs offer tons of bonus points and the green pegs provide magic powers, specific to the Peggle Master you are currently visiting.
Bjorn Unicorn provides the Super Guide ability, letting you fine tune your shot for the next few turns. Jimmy Lightning comes equipped with the multiball, splitting your single marble into two for maximum damage. And the aforementioned Renfield, a Jack O'Lantern-like character, has the Spooky Ball. That's a ball that magically resurrects itself after falling through the bottom.

As Addictive As Ever

If you enjoyed the first Peggle game, you'll simply adore Peggle Nights. Go beyond the Adventure mode to explore Quick Play, Duel, and Challenge too!

Peggle is a casual puzzle video game developed by Sukhbir Sidhu and Brian Rothstein of PopCap Games. Initially released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X systems in 2007, it has since had versions released for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, the Nintendo DS (with the help of Q Entertainment), Windows Mobile, the iPod, the iPhone OS, Zeebo and Android; the game has also been ported as a Java application, and an extended minigame incorporated into the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft. A sequel was released in September 2008, titled Peggle Nights.
Inspired by pachinko, each level of Peggle challenges the player to shoot a limited supply of balls at a field of colored pegs to clear out specifically marked pegs while attempting to achieve a high score through skilled shot planning. Special powers associated with a number of cartoon "Peggle Masters" can be activated to aid the player in this task. Peggle initially sold slowly but was boosted by the inclusion of a specially designed demonstration in Valve's The Orange Box, and has since enjoyed over 50 million downloads from the Internet. Both its release on Xbox Live Arcade and the iPhone OS have enjoyed similar success.
