Review of Peggle the Game by Mugsie member Daniel Luck

While watching MSNBC on TV, I noticed a review for Peggle computer game for Windows, Macintosh and iPods. They proclaimed Peggle as one of the “Top 5 most addictive games of all time”.

 

What is Peggle? Peggle is a casual computer game that's a cross between pinball and pachinko (a Japanese gaming device used for amusement and prizes).

 

The player shoots balls from the top of the screen (at various angles) and the ball goes down and hits various pegs. The object of the game is hit all the orange pegs before you run out of balls.

 

To assist you is several guides such as who will give you hints and tips as well as special power-ups. The power-ups are activated by hitting the one of the green pegs. For example, Bjorn the Unicorn features a power-up that shows you the path of your ball.

Once you hit all the orange pegs, you will be greeted with a rousing version of “Ode to Joy” and neat graphical effects like a rainbow and fireworks.

 

Peggle is easy to pick up and play, but each level gets progressively more difficult. Peggle is a very addictive game. One feels a sense of accomplishment after completing each level or stage.

 

Peggle is available for Windows, Macintosh and iPod platforms. For the Macintosh, the system requirements are fairly modest: Mac OS 10.3.9 or higher, 256MB of RAM and G4, G5 or Intel Processor. The game runs well on my Mac Mini (Core Solo) running 10.4.6. Trial download is available for download at PopCap Games. I enjoyed the game so much that I purchased a copy. Check it out for yourself!
