    It’s just more of the same, but isn’t that what we all wanted? The whole thing is executed with real style and class, and deserves to be huge.

    Peggle 2 is ultimately the same basic concept as the original set of games, but it's still most definitely worth playing if you're a series fan. PopCap could have done so much more than they did, especially when you consider the generational leap, but the good news is Peggle fans will eat this up and fall in love all over again.

    Simple but nonetheless enjoyable puzzle and party game created but the same very team behind classic franchises such Bejeweled and Plants Vs Zombies.
  5. I don’t expect many people will organize online Peggle 2 parties, and playing a puzzle game against strangers isn’t as much fun. Pity there’s no local splitscreen play.

    Like Peggle Nights, Peggle 2 feels like just an extension of the original game and not a whole lot more.

    Peggle 2 is an extremely safe sequel, and consequently a bit dull, most of the time.

    Best game in the universe. Hands down. No contest. Id buy 2 xbox ones just to play multiplayer with myself. Anyone who disagrees is jealousBest game in the universe. Hands down. No contest. Id buy 2 xbox ones just to play multiplayer with myself. Anyone who disagrees is jealous that their console doesn't have the legend that is this masterpiece. Still soiling myself in excitement as we speak.
    100000/10 would buy 20 times.

    Remarkably it's one of the best games on the Xbox One. The variety and level of difficult in each map and layout give plenty of challengesRemarkably it's one of the best games on the Xbox One. The variety and level of difficult in each map and layout give plenty of challenges throughout the entire game. Characters are likable and each have their own special skill-set that each player will adapt to and eventually find a favorite. When it comes down to what really matters this game is fun as hell, and it'll make you happy. With the victory music of the 1812 overture, to Bjorn; the happy unicorn that poops rainbows. This game is an absolute joy to play, and worth every penny of the mere $11.99 you have to spend for admission. Expand

My only criticism is that there aren't enough levels, which is more of a compliment. I never played Peggle 1, but regardless the learning curve is easy, as to be expected from a Pop Cap game. So far it's the best game I own for Xbox One. Expand

    I review games based on the following: Story, Multi-Player/ Cooperative, Creativity, Entertainment Value, and Replay Value. I give a ratingI review games based on the following: Story, Multi-Player/ Cooperative, Creativity, Entertainment Value, and Replay Value. I give a rating of +1, 0, or -1 in each category and every game starts at a 5 out of 10. Peggle 2 has a story... I suppose. The story serves more as a way to unlock new maps, characters, and costumes so you can have more fun playing with your friends. However, the trials that come as part of this short little campaign do provide a decent challenge. Overall I give the Story a 0 because of its lack of well, a story. The Multi-Player is where this game redeems itself and where the real fun comes from. Playing with your friends is really the only reason to purchase this game because frankly no one wants to shoot colorful pegs by themselves all day. This game is full of comedy which can really only be appreciated if you are with friends, drunk, or both. However this game heavily favors the first player as they will almost always start off with a higher score. For these reasons I give Multi-Player/ Cooperative a +1 for its endless fun with friends and alcohol. Peggle 2's Creativity is basically what makes it Peggle in the first place, a game about physics and flashy lights and epic music. Nothing in the gaming industry has this mixture of epic, comedy, and simplicity except for the first Peggle. Peggle 2 will always be the one and only game of its kind which is why I have to give it a +1 in Creativity. Lets be honest, Entertainment value and Replay Value are what really matter in every game so lets get straight to it. Peggle 2 is entertaining for about 3 maybe 4 hours by yourself and an endless time with friends. I am in college and getting drunk on a Friday Night and playing Peggle for a few hours is one of our favorite things to do. However that is the problem, it is hard to have fun for too long with alcohol or weed,for these reasons I give Entertainment value a 0. Although Peggle 2 does not provide endless entertainment, it does provide literally endless Replay Value. I find that you can never get the same outcome twice from any map but the trials simply because they are pass or fail. I love Peggle 2 and I give the Replay Value a +1 for its endless replay ability. Overall, based on all of the above factors I give Peggle 2 an 8. I personally recommend this game so go ahead and pick it up on Xbox One for just $11.99 and enjoy! Expand

    The Peggle series of games is a combination pinball/arkanoid/breakout type of game with cute characters. Whom when you hit the green pegsThe Peggle series of games is a combination pinball/arkanoid/breakout type of game with cute characters. Whom when you hit the green pegs allow you to use their unique abilities. When you hit the last orange peggle, classical music blasts out and declares your victory to everyone within hearing distance. An added touch is that, the peggles move each time you replay the stage. So the stages have replay ability built in.

    If you love these types of games, Peggle 2 is for you. I think I bought the game for $9.99 on the xbox store. I also got 2 upgrades for $1.99 each. The upgrades gave 10 new stages, 10 new trials and a new character each. More than worth it if your a Peggle 2 fan.

    But if your looking for something other than a cute, pinball/breakout type game, move on.

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
