Never really got the appeal of Peggle, felt too automated, just shoot and watch it go.

Yeah, not really my bag either. Too much luck and not enough strategy - basically a Pachinko machine crossed with carnival games.

It must hit the pleasure centers of the brain for some folks, though. Enjoy your addiction, you fiends ;)

I can indeed confirm that Peggle 2 is MORE Peggle.

I have never played a Pegggle game, and this did nothing to change that.

I'm sorry.. I don't get peggle.. I don't understand how it became a socially acceptable alternative to pachinko...
And I don't really find the mooning Sasquatch fun at all...

I guess the colours and animations do their best to stimulate the achievement pleasure centres of the brain... But playing the first one didn't do anything for me, and this seems marginally more interesting than a slots machine.

Why are people so Crazy about this phone game? I mean, I think I first played it on my phone, and I don't see how it gains anything from being on a controller/ keyboard except some precision that you can eventually get with your finger on a phone.

The game looks fine, looks fun, but... It just looks like snood with some bells and whistles.

I feel about the same way. Peggle super boring to me. I'm not at all into games where I have little to no control. Slot machine is a pretty accurate description. I feel the same way about pinball. None of that shit carries much value for me. At least in pinball you have some continuous input. Peggle is dumb.

You know how every year people say that the new Call of Duty is just a map pack for the last one? This makes a COD sequel look like it created a new genre. Like this is literally a map pack as far as I can tell. Are there any changes to the core gameplay or did they just make another 60 levels? I'm not against 60 more levels for Peggle, mind you, but when someone says Peggle 2 I expect them to up the ante is some way.

I don't.... I don't understand. This is barely a video game, it might as well be a Pachinko machine.

Not sure how I feel about how neither of them understood how the scoring works, despite the formula appearing on the screen every time.

@foxmulder: The Big Lebowski is played out. People have turned it into a big, annoying pop culture reference, like Austin Powers, Borat and Portal.

What the fuck is this doing as a next gen exclusive? Looks like every console available right now could run it easily.

As someone whos never played Peggle this looks really boring. Like Pachinko but I'm not betting my foot to a Chinese drug lord.

I assure you it is obscenely addictive.

I don't get Peggle. I don't think it's fun at all. I played a fair bit on the 360 to see what people were talking about, and I seriously can't understand why anybody would like it much more than a really short-lived novelty.

Madden uses gameclips the very most, I think. Every single offline touchdown gets a clip recorded, it's pretty terrible.

Peggle is a terrible game. I've never gotten why it gets any traction or audience outside of the Farmville crowd. If all PopCap can do is reskin old games then EA should give them Tetris. At least there'd be a good game underneath all the crust, fluff and repulsive 'personality'.

Peggle to me is on the same level of not giving a eff as Angry Birds. I don't understand the excitement around it, especially since it's basically the same game, at least as someone who played like 1 or 2 levels of the original.

Didn't expect to see so much Peggle hate here. I think you guys need to chill out by playing a nice game of Peggle.

Peggle is great. Don't play if you don't like it. You're an idiot if you're arguing over whether this (or any other game) is a game or not, and no one cares to hear about it.

I played and enjoyed Peggle. Think I'm kind of good with how much Peggle I already had, don't think I need more.

God damn though, the Xbone can't even handle solid framerate on multiplayer Peggle? Next gen gaming ladies and gentlemen.

I enjoy Peggle, and all the Peggle-hate is hilarious, because it's the exact same discussions as when the first game came out. I used to have a very boring job and would play the first game and Nights almost every day , and I can confirm there is some (very little) amount of skill involved in the game. Especially, once you get into the harder levels and unlock the ability to use any power up in the game.
