Darn. I was expecting to buy this tonight, but TRU was out of Points Cards (got RE5 for the $20 giftcard). Bummer.

didn't even realize there was a big-ass bonus at the end. don't remember that from the pc version. thought i had actually missed 20m by about 20k or something and was going to cry. whoops.
glad i can move on to challenges now....i'm not even going to attempt the all all clear one but challenges is perfectly reasonable and a good 10-20 hours of fun.

Same. I finished adventure again and was disappointed anf thought I only did about 1 million better but then my final score ending up being nearly 4 million better than my first go around.

Damn. Just checked the overall leaderboard. Astrolad has the top score by like over three million. :lol
Also just noticed that all the best shot top single shot scores come(the first 56 at least) from that Level that looks kinda like a DNA helix.

Just did my first duel match as I normally do peg party. I won and got sent this message.
Edit double lol.
I sent him a message saying haters gotta hate and he sent me this back.
He knew I was black because my avatar is a black guy.
Never change Xbox Live. Never change.
His gamertag. Cipher 8.

So I bought RE5, Gears 2, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, Civ Rev, and Last Remnant today.
I can think of nothing but playing more peggle.

Why shouldn't I hold my breath for it to hit PSN? I thought Pop Cap said they were bringing it to PSN, just like they brought Bejeweled 2 and Zuma.

The people online in Peg Party are pretty shitty, aren't they? I joined a game on like the 5th ball and still won the match by a decent margin.
Annoying that people don't stay in the room long enough for me to get my 100k+ achievement.

I hated it at first but after the first level it is pretty awesome. It's like pool, pinball with a bit of braid mixed into the game. The lobster pinball level was awesome, I thought I'd be doing better on the leaderboards...then I saw yall's scores.

The first time I was going to get that Achievement, two guys quite right from the beginning in the Ranked match, the second time, I hit 145,000 or so off the first shot while the second place guy has 39,000 - and I was thinking to myself, "man, they are gonna quit for sure" - and they actually stayed the whole match - so I was thankful that they did...
Luckily the guy I ran into later (MrHyde101, can remember his tag clearly) joined every single match I was in, and everything I or anyone else took a huge lead, even if there were 4 rounds to go or so, he'd quit out - I couldn't believe Peggle was making people quit out...
I played 7 games of the ranked Duel Mode this morning, after playing through adventure mode last night. I went and looked at the leaderboards and I'm #1? That really doesn't seem right to me. Granted I didn't lose any of the games I played but I really didn't expect to ranked first...
I'm afraid to play any more now. I don't want to lose my #1 spot.

It's out for the old music ipod players. Not the iPhone or iTouch yet although it is supposed to be coming this month.
Tried the demo. I knew I was going to buy it when the Ode to Motherfuckin' Joy starts playing after the first level.
I hand it over to my wife. She plays through several levels, hands it over to my six year old. She's addicted. It just got rid of my three year olds severe case of the grumps. She was literally wrapped around my leg, chaning "Peggle! Peggle! Peggle!"
Now everyone in the house - all four of us - are lined up waiting to play.
Peggle. Fuck yeah.

this game is too addictive it dragged me away from kz2 which was a bit depressing haha, i felt like i was having a dirty affair. I've done all the challenges up until getting 400,000, did the first one of those and had to give up later... -- also did the 2 challenges near the end of the list, finish a level starting with only 2 balls, and the same but with 1 ball... they werent as bad as i expected

I got the Peggle Premium Theme (had exactly 250 pts left). Will post some pics later.
It's pretty good, actually.

I'm finding some of the challenge stages a bitch and I get easily frustrated.
I have now focused my attention to high scores on each level. Made top 30 on level 1-2 and 1-4. Those won't last long. So many levels, I can see myself putting in 15-25 hours just working on high scores.
There is no doubt a lot of luck is involved in this game but the more I play there is no denying this game takes some skill. Like nailing that last orange peg and angling it in to the 100,000 point area.
Getting my better scores by using that pumpkin dude. Get him twice in one shot and watch your score soar.

Add me to the Peggle believers list. I'd never played the PC version so this was my first time with the game and I'm already hooked. Nabbed 21.7 million my first time through challenge mode and I just want to start over again to get higher up on that leader board. Kinda wish there was some type of 3-4 player local mode (am I missing it?) but I only see peg party for Xbox live and duel for local multiplayers. Even just some type of mini challenge mode would be nice for bigger local groups. Aside from that though, no complaints at all.
) and going through Adventure again to climb the boards.TheFightingFish said:
my only complaint! game is otherwise golden.
came back last night (from smoking an L and showing my friend the glory of Peggle DS), booted up the xbl and got my first all clear
still going through adventure mode, what an awesome game...I love the game, but have one little irritation... the scores you achieve in challenge mode don't register to the leaderboards. To get around this, you have to go to quick play and select the board you are working on in challenge mode. It will complete your challenge (if you meet the challenge requirements of course) and update the leaderboard. I hope they patch it, so your challenge points just go right to the leaderboard.
Depending on the board, you can also go for the pumpkin. The pumpkin goes through the board twice and maybe even three times if you get both greens, so you can accumulate the bonuses for two extra balls and also the extra style points.

Yeah I noticed that too. Part of it I think is that in Challenge mode there are special rules in play. For example, in the Challenge mode all-clears you keep playing even after you hit the last orange peg.jon bones said:my only complaint! game is otherwise golden.

The online is way fun, especially against friends, but a couple nits:
-GIVE ME MY FREE BALLS. At least in Duel Mode, and really in any mode IMO, you should get your free balls. It's not really like you even play these modes with balls, just turns. I mean Kat Tut sucks enough already, come on give the man his balls.
-Delay/lag. My friend and I had to agree to not react to our own shots so as not to "spoil" it for the other person, as the delay was at least a few seconds. Have to admit it was somewhat entertaining making a great shot and waiting for my friend to react, but I'd rather do without the delay.
So I started writing a review of Peggle XBLA, and I booted up the PC version just so I could talk about the difference between the features.
Now, I'm having trouble coming up with a justification for the XBLA version other than just 'it's Peggle'. Every addition that they have to the main game has a couple of additions that I wish were there and aren't.
And yet, I'm loving playing through the game again. I'm just wondering if I should have bought it on XBLA or just gone through Adventure mode on PC for a second time.
