ADDICTIVE BOUNCING FUN!!!

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.

Good Mindless Fun

This is a great game for all ages. Almost like pachinko for the computer. Lights, sounds, movement all combine to provide an enjoyable experience. In addition, a certain level of skill is required to move through the levels, so the game is more than just eye-candy. You'll catch yourself playing far longer than you intended to.

The purple peg! Aim for the puuuuuurple peg!

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.

A fun game for the whole family!

Peggle can supply hours (unfortunately) of fun for everyone in the family. It can increase your abilities in physics, too. Playing "duel" with another person is a lot of fun as it builds bonding between you.

It's amusing to see all the ways this game rewards you for doing well. Besides the spectacular display when you win a level you have all sorts of bonus poings for performing impressive feats and when you do something REALLY special a punk beaver pops up and praises you!

As others have noted Peggle is a pachinkoish puzzle game. I appreciate the untimed aspect of the game. If I want to spend 2 or 3 minutes lining up that PERFECT shot, no problem. Or just blaze away quickly and watch the pretty lights!

There's real depth to the game is you want to put the effort into it. Tricky ways to exploit the special powers or just extending a level by playing for free balls.

Just Plain Fun.

Great Family Game

My 10 year old daughter loves this game. Finally, a game she can play that doesn't have cats, dogs, or horses. She loves the unicorn and the colorful scenes. She is able to play this game alone or with a friend. This game has enough of a challenge to it for the younger ones without being so hard that advancing through the different levels is almost impossible. My 15 year old son likes how the game is played, but he's not impressed with the unicorn theme.

FUN FOR EVERYONE

Love this game, hours of fun for everyone. It seems as though it is made for kids, but it is not. It is challenging and fun. You will enjoy the colorful pics and the background music.

This is a casual game that gamers and non-gamers alike will find themselves playing way too much.

Woohoo we all like it, even our 4 yr old!
