    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

    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

    Like most great puzzle games, Peggl is based on a simple mechanic. This time around it's Plinko. The graphics and humorous touches go above and beyond your standard live arcade puzzler, and I spent about 4 hours playing through it the first night I got it. I don't see myself playing it for much more than 3 days or so. I decided to play the challenge mode where you play against normal level opponents. I can honestly say this was the worst mistake of my life. They make insane bank shots that will infuriate you and make you want to throw your controller.… Expand

    Although i would never let my mates see me on a game called 'peggle' i have to since it has been the best £8 I've spent in months. It is devilishly simple but similarly addictive in the way that you will go on at 1pm and get off at 5pm expecting it to be 3pm! The 'guides' and menu layout are slightly over childish but apart from that, the childish nature of the game unnoticeable whilst your playing. WARNING do not get this game if you have important exams! It will be responsible for you working in Macdonalds when your older.… Expand

    The premise is quite simple and the game is great fun, if only for a short while. Few will find this title capable of holding their attention in the long run as this game is taylored made for short sessions and casual players. Though for $10, this isn't a bad distraction.

    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.

    what are you reviewers thinking?This game is great, it is,but it is not groundbreaking or as much of a hit as Tetris was back in the day.For the reviewer (oxm) that says they dream about it like Halo matches ,ect..your way off base.I did dream of Tetris back in the day because that was a game you could not put down on the game boy-period.That was a 10 and will always be in my book.This game is really fun and you can be stuck to your T.V'.s for a long while but to me the game play in 2010 is not all that and the most this game deserves is an 8.… Expand

    The game is incredibly colorful with a great mix of animation and sound to satisfy players of all ages-it's not dumbed down for kids and it's not loaded up with sophisticated gameplay concepts that only adults can take in. Most of all, though, it's the combination of simple gameplay, challenging action and cartoon-like graphics that makes it highly appealing.

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

    Simply put, this is a once-in-a-generation puzzler, much like Tetris. It's Xbox Live Arcade's finest offering, and it can be both mindless and high-level strategic fun. Don't miss it. Find an internet connection and create an Xbox Live Silver account if you have to; it's that sublime.
